Next on my list of equipment to buy is a dive light. With LED lights available, is there any benefit to the older (halogen, I believe) technology? I see they are still being sold, so it makes me wonder.
Also, I want to keep the bulk of the flashlight to a minimum. Of course, that means I have to balance light output with bulk. What lumen output do most divers find minimally acceptable for simple OW daytime diving versus night diving?
I am doing basic OW diving now, and I hope to do some night diving and spearfishing next spring.
Thanks for your input.
BTW, ScubaBoard is great!
