Nice little torch, just don't over tighten the head as the plastic thread with crack. I tighten enough just to turn it off and then on just enough to errr yeah. Oh and some fluorosilicone grease on the thread helps to smooth the action.

Is that the little diddy teeny one, or the slightly larger one?

I have one and it tucks nicely into my harness puch.

It's the larger one. I took it to the Philippines earlier this year and was fine in the dark recesses of the wrecks I dived when there.

Frogman lenser has a crap shiny head cover that comes loose so you can't switch it on or off. Also has an entertaining tendency to switch itself on as you go deeper.

Trek 4 is made for the job. Just as bright, will turn on and off at any depth you choose. Batteries last for ever and you can cable tie one to a Goodman handle.

The only crap thing with the Tektite torches is that silly rubber glare cover they put on the end. Either superglue it on so it can't fall off or do what I do and chuck it in the bin and wind some black gaffer tape round it. I've used an Expedition Star on a night dive and it's been perfect. In fact the Expedition Stars are the torch of choice for our club- about 10 people have them now and they're all happy with them even at 35m in Scapa. And, as an aside, if it floats your boat they are DIR compliant.
