I am a realy big OMS fan and today I was looking at the site and seen this
http://www.omsdive.com/lights.html

Its a 3W Led head light, goodman handle, Helmet light.

Im ordering my very soon. Ive been waiting for this.

If you think about it. Its great if you primary light fails you can still control your reel because your back up is on a goodman handle.

Just wondering if anyone else feels the way you do about this light. We thought about stocking it, but not sure how much demand there will be for it.

I just ordered mine. should be in within 3 days. I want to get some time with it before a wreck dive. I can not wait. I do not see the problem with a headlight when operating a reel + your primary

I use the OMS Vega which I assume is the same light head as a back up to my 10W Green Force primary. I quite pleased with the vega and think it's a great back up light. The Goodman handle in the catalogue looks similar to the Green Force "Low Profile" handle. As far as Goodman handles are concerned. I think there are better ones around.

My buddy has one. Its a great light but the harness keeps slipping off his hood. I told him to put it under the hood next time.

I got the light is yesterday, WOW is this bright and the LED is a spot focused not like my others that are semi focused. I do agree that the goodman handle is a little diffrent but not bad. I was testing the light out last night and I could shin it over a 150ft and it was still bright I have a 4d maglight and this is twice as bright. I compared it to a Sartec 10wHID and its close but no HID

that's my concern as well. I wondered if you could wear it under your hood without interupting things much.
I've been looking for a hands-free light, and I'm also a HUGE OMS fan so this light really intrigued me. I poured over the net looking for honest reviews, but to no avail. should've known to look here first!
