Subject: HID Lights
Dear List,

I am considering upgrading one of my two Dive Rite MLS lights to the new 
Dive Rite HID light. Let me say first that I KNOW that an EE light is 
preferable (and I plan to get one at some point in the future), but I am 
seduced by the idea of using a light that is as small as the one I have 
now, but has a longer burn time with a brighter bulb. Let me also say that 
I don't know much at all (that would be, I really know nothing) about this 
technology, which is why I'm posting this question. (So please be gentle!)

What I am wondering is
(1) are HID lights really all they are cracked up to be? and
(2) Is there something about them that makes them *NOT* DIR, and if so, 
what is it and why?

Thanks in advance.
