    Do you have any photos? I would love to see some of the unit and of the light it produces.

    By the way, I just flooded one of my old lights....well flooded isn't exactly correct, the plastic disintegrated on a dive. The clear plastic bezel/lens cracked while on the dive, but the light kept working just getting dimmer as the dive progressed. I touched the bezel to make sure it was tight and it fell apart in my hands. Fortunately I was able to hold onto all of the broken pieces, so they made it to the trash.

    I have 2 and I am thinking of another pair with obscure covers for video lighting, especially as they have 3 different power settings. For the size & price they are very good. I have now done about 40 dives with the 2 down to a max of 40m so far.

    I was looking for his photos.

    Anyway, knowing that you have made 40 dives with this light is a real positive. I have had more then one dive light fail, and even a new one on the first dive.

    That, or even shining on the sand underwater or whatever. I just wanted to see what the color of the light and brightness looked like underwater.
