Personnally I'd keep both. I'd use the HID on most dives. The tristar LED would always be there as a back up.

I don't know whether you do any holiday diving. I've heard that HID is overkill for blue water diving so LED might be more appropriate for that?

I'm planning to get a tristar head as a back up for my HID head (although I plan to get a dual umbilical to use both at the same time)

  • Buy the HID, keep the Tristar, and use the HID head for the darker dives, and the Tristar for the rest of the time?
  • Sell the Tristar and just use the HID?
  • Not bother with the HID and stick with the Tristar?
Any suggestions gratefully received

I would say retain both heads. The LED is superb for night diving, the HID for big dark wrecks. This is what I do.
