Does anyone know what LED they're using? I treat my gear like my food; I want to know what's in it.
I put a "safety laynard" on mine. I had it knocked off in the cave when putting on the oxygen bottle on the way out. Since it was a cave and the light was on, it was easy to find. In the ocean.....that could be a problem. Anyway, as with so many things regarding Mr. Murphy (murphy's law) it has not happened since. However, I do recommend having a laynard attached to the light.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I. I just placed an order for a second one. Now I have two for cave diving

Are you okay with the light sock type hand mount? The only time I've tried one of those, the light was too wobbly to suit me.
Where did you attach the lanyard? There doesn't seem to be a good spot around the light itself, short of maybe butted up against the switch. Any chance for a picture? Thanks!!
Sure no problem - give me until tomorrow
Thanks, but actually, I figured it out. The rubber battery cover (the "butt" end of the light) ingeniously has a set of small holes, probably 1/8" diameter, for running some cave line or shock cord though to then attach a bolt snap or other clip. Simple as that. Amazing what you learn when you actually look at the item you're discussing.
LOL! Isn't that true
I have a bolt snap in the middle hole attached for easy clip off. I attached the Laynard to one of the side holes on the battery cap. But any version of this will do.
Enjoy your lite. Did you dive it, yet?
I've got that soft handmount with quick release from diverite. It's also sold separately from the lx20. Mine is used with the edge morph 1000 core primary or the diverite backup lights.
This particular hand mount is much stiffer than the cheap soft hand mounts you usually see as gimmies with dive lights. The material is very stiff and mine doesn't wobble around at all. I think I paid around $100 for the thing, but the quick disconnect is a nice feature. That said, I have managed to bump the light head off of the QD when negotiating the catacombs at Ginnie during a lights out drill. Good thing I was using a can light or it would have been sitting at the bottom of the cave.
