Which Intovas?
Perhaps those divers were just as careless as the divers with a twist on BU who didn't press down on the bezel.
Why is carelessness the fault of the diver in one instance, and not the other?
Sounds like the problem was fixed with a design change... but wasn't that stated earlier on in this thread?
Ya know, Halcyon had alot of issues with their early 10w HIDs too. They fixed them and everythings good now. I wonder if you would be singing the same song back then as you are now?... or just continue drinking the koolaid
I dropped mine in the sand while gearing up and ruined my switch (popped out when I went to turn it on). Upsetting, but confirmed what I knew in that Intova's are great lights on the surface, but not something I'd bring in the water.Which Intovas?

Personally I wouldn't buy a Welch Allyn based HID. I might enjoy a bit of koolaid, but I won't pay extra for a more fragile bulb. I think Halcyon has recently changed over however, but I still don't have a local dealer I trust to take stuff to for service. Maybe you can send it directly to Halcyon? Duno, I guess if I have issues with any Halcyon gear I might look into it... With how easy it is to get service from Light Monkey I don't see myself drinking that flavor cool aideYa know, Halcyon had alot of issues with their early 10w HIDs too.

The design of the switches has been changed *shrugs*
Gah! ...and its KoolAid!
i think the issue being people had so many problems with the things they're just not willing to give them a second (or third or fourth) chance
backup lights are a simple thing and I think people try and reinvent the wheel a little too much.
although take that for what it's worth. from a kool aid drinker
