Bigblue TL15000P: 750$
Bigblue TL15000P: 1300$
Both are -2lb. No idea how much of that is the canister alone in case of TL15000PC.

Same spec except TL15000PC is a canister light.

I don't know about the canister light but the handheld is miserably negative. You have to add buoyancy to it to make it bearable to dive with. Now the light from it is unreal. It lights up a dark cave like nothing I have ever seen.
 
Thanks for the reply.

Agreed. I don't know how to do that though. it is already a bulky device.

A buddy cut up an old wersuit and put neoprene around the body of the light. In the old days before the WKPP was using helium and still diving air they would wrap bicycle innertubes around their stage bottles when they were full. I have thought about this.

Good idea! I have a coupe of items I can try this on.
Thanks!
