UK Light Cannon 100 HID
I got one of these recently and also some Ni-MH batteries for it. I think it is great for the money, alot cheaper than many other HID lanterns.

Question UK100 HID torch
What rechargable batteries did you buy incidently, Someone said you have to be careful of the nipples on the batteries and not making a good connection.

I've just bought a 2nd-hand one and am after some rechargables.

If anyone is in the market for a not-stupid-price HID torch then you could do a lot worse then the on Missus Janos has. It's f'in fantastic. .

Missus Janos is on the left and it's a Kowalski on the right. It's a 21W Brightstar bulb (same as the Salvo) and a 4.5 NiMh battery. Which is the same as my Salvo so I had a bulb upgrade.

I didn't get mine from Woz but I know he was talking about doing an import deal if enough people were interested. I think it would have worked out at around the £220 mark.

Try
NiMH C Rechargeable Batteries Up To 4500mAh

I bought the 4500 Ansmann ones and they last for hours - more than you'll need all day. I also bought the Energy 8 charger - it can do 4 C cells at once and is pretty quick. Also, because they are NiMH you can re-charge them every night without worrying about 'memory effect'.

PS I haven't had any nipple problems with these batteries.

A great HID torch
I must vote for the UK light cannon, had it now for 4 years had it to 82m use it for opening clams to feed Ballin wrass and it still works. Its the best torch I've had in 21 years of diving....

HI there Janos,
Sorry for being a pleb but is the torch on the left a HID darkbuster ,a HID light cannon or are they both the same ? if so i might just indulge in one as it seems to be doing the buisness. If not what type of torch is Mrs janos using in the vid ?
Any help greatfully accepted.

Cheers Wooflad

As Woz says, it's the Dark Buster. Same 21W Brightstar bulb as my Salvo. Same size battery (4.5Ah).

Just not with fancy Delrin and it's not umbilical so it's £200 to £250 instead of £700 - £800.

You pay a lot for your fancy umbilicalness.
