You have asked the question in the DIR section which I presume you have done for a reason.

The DIR requirement for a backup is for reliability rather than light sabre, so torches which over drive the bulb, are not the things to have.....the normal DIR choices are the Scout, Heser and photon torpedo, IIRC. ... but stand to be corrected bythe more knowledgable

I've got a 21W Salvo and a Tektite LS4 backup. Works a treat. Salvo packed up on a night dive in Menorca (own fault for not charging it for days) so switched to my LS4 and it was perfectly fine for the rest of the dive. Waaaaaaaay cheaper too.

Well I've got the Solaris torches Phill did before he turned into a star trek-esque kit whore. I must say they are the mutts for good lighting and well designed xenonicity of output.

I did a write up on Hesers a while ago on the other site here

Still pleased - although I will reiterate my advice that you should not sacrifice the purchase of a good primary light buying expensive back ups.
