An interesting reply. Clearly you weren't responding to me since I didn't
mention low-vis except to indicate that it might be effective there. What I
did indicate was that I have never seen a light that can penetrate a total
siltout of the kind described.

Are you also saying that this light can penetrate, to a useful degree, total
silt-out conditions such as one might find in a low-flow cave zapped with
deep silt/clay and/or narrow crawl-throughs, same conditions, low-flow, deep
silt/clay?

Tighter, more effective, sure, I agree, incredibly so. If you can afford it,
dive with it. Rely on it for what it is and what it can do.

Please clarify.

Later,
