Unhappy Imported post

<font color='#736AFF'>I have been using a Green Force F2 battery, umbilical and Tristrar (LED) head for a couple of months. The LED is great in murky conditions, penetrating a long way into the gloom, but it is not a big bright light.

I want to add a HID head, and will probably swop the umbilical cable for a twin cable. so that both heads can be used on the same dive.

I am forever sticking my head into holes looking for wildlife, with a modest bit of wreck pentration, and some night diving. Depths usually around 30m, all in the UK.

What experience have people had with the various 50w and 100w HID heads from Green Force?
I believe that Green force are bring aout a 3 watt 3 bulb LED head quite soon, but don't know the merits of waiting for this to come out.

<font color='#8D38C9'>50w and 100w is a red herring

really 10w HID and 18w HID (afaikr)

why do you need both heads on one dive?

once you turn a HID on you leave it on till you've really finished with it
