HID = High Intensity Discharge

it is a type of bulb, very good torches,bulbs are expensive and fragile though. I use a FaMi umbilical LED torch,not cheap either but with 6 hours+ burn time and robust LEDs I am happy with it.

hope this helps.

HID lighting
HID provides superb lighting in the water. As my preferred alternative to Fami and Salvo take a look here.
GreenForce - Divelights
If in doubt give Mssrs Lumb a call using their web site below

My Company Online Catalogue

GreenForce (like Salvo as they use exactly the same HID bulbs) are very very robust lighting systems.
I also have the GF LED system. It is nice but the HID is wow!
