<< If you want to look at High Intensity Discharge Arc Lamps (HID), the
folks
at
Sartek Industries were showing a whole series of them at DEMA. Looked awfully
impressive - very bright white light, long burn times, etc. These are "real"
and
ready to ship. They will also convert your existing cannister lights to use
the
HID heads
It it, however, not cheap. Their web site is www.sarind.com

I wish I didn't miss dema. would like to see this thing
Some people out there are probobly tired of the light issue, but, if you
are the one getting ready to fork out another six hundred/or more, you just
don't want to buy something that isn't going to get used because it's the
wrong $$$$$ing thing.
This is my last post on this subject.
--I just looked at www.sarind.com, great prices on gear, Thanks for the
address.
Price is one of the major considerations here. With dive gear costs close
to what, four thousand? five thousand for what I'm wearing when I'm diving, a
new light at $1100.00 is considerable; however, I will probably get the
explorer pro 14 as the burn time, price, and reliability are what I need. The
main reason for getting an AUL light is I can save a good amount of money,
which I can use for the trip to use the new light. The main reason for
getting a pro 14 is where it comes from, the reputation is the best
everywhere.
The additional cost of a HID from sarind isn't justifiable (for me) even if
it is reliable.
What I need is to see dive-rites HID in action, and hear about the
reliability, bulb life, durability, bouyancy, availability and price of parts,
ect. If this thing cost three hundred, I'll probably buy one; And, buy a pro
14 too.
thanks,
Randy
