New Tektite torch
Well my Princeton Tec surge broke and flooded last week and I need a torch suitable for a weeks diving in Egypt in a couple of weeks. I want something robust, not too big, and bright enough for Red Sea night dives, plus useable for UK sea diving until I can afford an umbilical at which time I will keep it for backup. I'm thinking this should do...

Tektite - LED Flashlights, LED Replacement Bulbs, Dive Lights, IR, Strobes, Marker Lights, UV, CSI, LZ kits, & Tekna Knives and lites

Not available in the UK but I can order direct. Opinions please...

No, the torch is not shown on the UK site so I emailed Tektite in USA. They told me it won't be available here for several weeks

If the claimed output is true, it must be one awesome torch!

Looks like a nice piece of kit. Does anyone know how these ones switch on and off?

Having just lost my beloved Peli LED "Lightsabre" to flooding I'm a bit down on the "twist the lens" idea although to be honest it was probably my own fault for being lazy with the O ring maintenance

EDIT I've just answered my own question, it IS a twist on job! Hmm, what to do?

it's on eBay from a UK company. i've used them before and they are very good.

Find Worlds Most Rugged Flash Light - Tektite Excursion LS4 on eBay within, Dive Lights Torches, SCUBA Snorkelling, Sporting Goods (end time 21-Nov-07 22:15:00 GMT)

i'm awful tempted by this torch. it's that or save the pennies and go for the handheld 10w salvo. it'll be my primary. don't think the sort of diving i do requires a 700 quid torch.

decisions... decisions...
