Hmm you do not state what you want to use it for ?
I would strongly suggest 18W HID instead of 10W. The extra-light is worth it !

OK then - wreck-diving less than 50m - limited deco - but I want to get a charge for a day not a dive.

Does that assist?

Gavin,
Green force have just launched a 9amp/hour battery pack so that should give you the burn time you need easy even with the 100W eqiv HID head. only prob is the cost i think its gonna put you over budget by some way. id have to check on prices.

£440 (RRP) for the 50W hid F11. gives 4 hours burn time.
Check it out at <a href="http://www.lumb-bros-das.co.uk/acatalog/HID_Torches.html

the boys at Lumb are nice peeps. &nbsp;Sorted my arrow out when it kept going tits. &nbsp;ended up replacing it FOC after 12 months. &nbsp;Since then No problems...I also upgraded to HID with an inrterchangeable lens for pin spot and diffused for camera stuff...Lovely toys and really compact.

I just invested in the Greenforce HID 50W umbilical with the F2 battery.
This will do 4hrs burn time and it can always be upgraded at a later date.
I also got a pouch to put the battery in that attaches to my harness (£15) and a grip for the head made out of webbing so it's hands free (£15) From Narked at 60.
For the torch, I got mine from Duck&amp;Dive who yopu could ask for a price. Other prices I got were....
MikesWW.co.uk were £390ish I think.
Divers Warehouse have them for £410
Robinhood have them for £440

Right then - thanks for all the input - I've just received a shiny new Greenforce - same battery as Ali but with a 100w head.

I look forward to blinding you all on a future trip!

One thing - Ali where did you get your pouch from?
