the uk tribal pak

[yellowperil]

i'm looking to buy the underwater kinetics tribal pak and i've been to the ldss in the area(monterey, ca) and the all wat around 380 for it but i'm seen it online for as low as 200. now beyond waiting for the lights what are the pros and cons of buying online. i assume that warranties and such will probably come into play.

I bought the said tribal pak online from a lighting supplier who have nothing to do with diving. They are an authorised dealer for UK products, and it's covered by warranty. Ask Underwater Kinetics their policy.

I got the Tribal Pak from Scuba Toys for $218. Three days to my door.

i was thinking about it doing that but i sent a message to the guy who post on here from scuba toys and asked him about the warranty and he never replied so i just went out and bought the light cannon locally... everyone i asked about warranties who sold the tribal pak online never replied

How about the rubber strap for the knife?

Please let me have the inforamtion if you have this set.

Thanks in advance,
hoosier

yes, the knife DOES include rubber straps.

other than that, your list appears complete, Hoosier.

(the wide angle filter is merely a piece of plastic that adheres to the INside of the lens and diffuses the beam a little... I'd rather see an EXternal diffuser that could be removed "on the fly")

Otherwise, I've had no problems with the light cannon ... I discovered that you get very little warning when the batteries die though... it goes from very bright (normal) to off in a minute or two. On the up-side, one set of batteries is good for about 6 hours of run time... pretty good considering the amount of light it puts out!
