In the video I demonstrate the Barry light by bouncing it off the floor. I mention that this is to accomodate the wreck divers and those walking over limestone in places like the Yucatan. I also show the other versions. I have two Gavin's, two Arnie's, and two Barry's. All are clear except one . I don't drop my light, and I don't dive off of boats if it is too rough to dive safely. I also have two Verouxis video lights, two HID cave lights ( one Dive Rite and one of my own making). I have one Guppy wreck light also with nicads, and two nicad cave lights, one Arnie, one Barry. I have about fifteen backup lihgts - some Barry, some Varousxis, some Oceanic. Take your pick - they all work.
