"The higher milliamp draw coupled with the driver renders the same burn time and color temperature as a 10W HID light." So about 4 hours.

The quote is from the blog (end of the 3rd paragraph), and the specs are also in the "tech specs" on the 700 lumen's page.
SCUBA Diving Equipment for Technical, Wreck and Cave Diving: Dive Rite, Inc - Product Catalog - LED 700 Canister Light
The pricing seems pretty favorable (IMO) considering you don't have bulbs to replace or worry about failing... $649 at Dive Rite Express.
I also noticed Dive Rite Express no longer carries a 10w HID... does the LED solution actually REPLACE the 10w HID line of lights?

Sorry, I assumed the author was comparing times on the same size batt pack as the slimline 10w, which is 4 hours.

You can find all the specs about the LED 700 here
SCUBA Diving Equipment for Technical, Wreck and Cave Diving: Dive Rite, Inc - Product Catalog - LED 700 Canister Light
The burn time on the light is indeed 4 hours. It has been launched in a Slimline pack, but will come with a larger battery canister in the future. The LED 700 has indeed replaced the 10W HID in our line of lights.
If you have any other questions don't hesitate to ask.

The 700 Lumen LED seems to have a light head that approximates that of the MR-11 Sunspot. Would it be possible to "upgrade" the Sunspot's light source to that of the 700 Lumen LED?
If Dive Rite won't be offering the upgrade option, will the light source assembly be made available to those of us who are willing to risk doing the retrofit ourselves?

Hi CaliJoe,
Upgrades will be possible. I will post the information about costs and how to go about getting an upgrade shortly.
