UK HID bulbs- how much?!?
Hi All,

I am shopping around at the mo for my first primary torch and i fancy getting myself a UK Cannon100 Scuba Diving Torch. I have heard about the great reviews it gets which all sounds good. But the main thing that puts me off is the cost of the replacement bulbs. My LDS prices them at around £70!!!

Does anyone buy them for cheaper elsewhere?

I just dont fancy forking out half of the torches' original price on a replacement bulb!!

Just to muddy the waters a bit, and off topic slightly, but have you considered buying a Darkbuster instead? It is by far a much brighter torch. It uses the Brightstar HID bulb which seems to be far tougher than the Welch Allen ones. I think but may be wrong here that the Light Cannon uses the Welch Allen bulb. Was diving with 3 lads on Snday who had them, talk about torch envy, will need to upgrade the Greenforce to the big HID light head I think.

It uses the same lamp as the Salvo so £75

Salvo spares items at divingniknaks
