DiveRite 24 Watt HID

[gathan]

Has anyone had a chance to see the DR 24 watt HID can light in action? The light is here:

The light head is incredibly small for a 24Watt unit.

I just purchased the DR 10 watt C-H10 Head w/Slimline Can, today. I was toying with the idea of buying the Halcyon, I already dive with their BC and back up lights and I think there great, but I just couldn't get my mind around the $900.+ price tag. I also spent time reading posts here regarding canister lights and DR seems to be well built, they have a very good reputation and great customer service. Incidentally, when I ordered the light I paid for expedited shipping, I live in Florida and DR Exp. is in Florida, they E mailed me explaining that it was unnecessary to pay the higher shipping rate as it would get to me just as fast if it was shipped ground and they deducted the additional shipping cost I paid. Nice. So I'm looking forward to getting it wet this weekend.

Nuff Said.

The DR Express web site is featuring a flashlight style 10 wt HID. I don't think I'm hijacking the thread by asking if anyone has an opinion about this second new DR HID.

Is this a serious alternative to a canister? It has an advertised burn time of up to 2 or 3 hours with the right choice of batteries. 500 lumens or so they say.

I ordered this light and should have it by Friday. I will post my thoughts once I dive with it.

I was looking at this also, and would be interested in comments/opinions from anyone that's used it. Does not seem like a bad HID deal for less than $400.

i am very interested in this dive light.

it produces more lumens than the UK Kinetics.

It produces less lumens than a Salvo 21w though...

Looks fine. The reflector design doesn't look quite as good as, say, a Salvo. I'd be interested to see them side by side underwater.

Anyone with the Salvo want to go to Dutch Springs and take a look at the difference?
