I think this light is good and reliable as I speculate. I guess someone here on the board can give a review for this new light. Anyway, I intend to acquire one very soon.

I have been using a UK SL4 for 15+ years great light and great support from UK. It is every good as some of the bigger lights and it is compact.

So I just bought the Princeton tec shockwave LED in a black, and I can't wait to get it. I've been looking over about 10-12 lights; some that I've found and all the one's you guys have suggested. In the end I went with the princeton tec one, it just seemed like its what I was looking for. But, after looking at the UK SL4, I think I'll get that one for a later purchase as a back up light to put in my bcd pocket, or clipped to my bcd. Thanks for all your help!!!

Thanks for your review.
I was thinking lately if this UK SL4 would really last, without flooding. 15+:shocked2: years of usage, wow! To consider it's made of plastic, that's very long enough before I should change to a new one. I guess, I'll purchase this diving light soon.

Go for the Salvo/Light Monkey 50W HID. There is a guy on here selling a used one for dirt cheap. It's 5,000 lumens and one of the best lights money can buy.

For $100, I will go with Hollis LED5. For $70, I will go for Intova Ultra.

But that hollis only has 260 lumens. I want as bright as I can. And I'm looking for something that's a primary light, not just a little pocket light.

I like my Hollis LED5 (3 x C). I use it as my primary for night diving and for daytime use. I haven't bought into a canister light just yet. I used to have a UK Sunlight C8 (8 x C) which I have sold a long time ago.

I have just mod a torch that can use safely less than 500 metres and will never sink, so how much will you guys play for it?
