Better ? Hmmm, the light is pure white as you'd expect, the spot is very tight but maybe not quite as tight as the HiD, although I would say underwater you'd be hard pushed to see any difference.

The BIG difference is the size of the light head of course. Personally I think that will be a major benefit for a lot of people with the 12W and 21W.

As usual it all depends on the type of diving you're doing and want to do going forward, do you want an "illuminating" light or a "signalling" light or both ?

Does that help ?

The Rebel LED is every bit as good, so Barry has decided to move with the times.

People were asking for ages for an LED that had a similar performance as HiD, well now you can have it.

The 21W LED really is every bit as good as the 21W HiD IMHO.

There'll be some people who should get theirs wet this weekend (courier willing) so will be interesting to see what "real" people have to say and not the guy who is selling them I may be biased if you hadn't guessed

I can never tie YD names to real names.

I hope you enjoy it. Maybe a little review on here ? It's always good to get unbiased opinions and not just me saying how good they are, I would say that wouldn't I?

Phill,
If you can get a boot-full of torches to Stoney on Sunday we could see about getting some in-water shots if you like? Could be fun to see how many torches we can get into the Stanegarth
