Subject: Re: Dive Lights: Square -vs- Round
Uh, excuse me.  Is there such a thing as a good, cheap light because I 
heard there were a few cheap, good lights out there.  I personally prefer 
a good, expensive light although there are some good, cheap lights 
being built.    If you're personal standards are lower than mine 
perhaps a bad, cheap light might suit your needs, but I bet you'll be 
able to find a deal on a bad, expensive, square light just as easily as a 
bad, expensive, round light.  Then again, with all the bad, expensive, 
square lights flooding the market you should be able to get a great deal 
instead of spending the time to find a good, reliable, round light.  Are 
you fucking kidding me???  You're right on one thing, a rocket scientist 
you are not. " A cave diver must put aside ego, impatience, and excuses, 
and settle for nothing less than perfection. Those who do so will 
discover on their own the value of such effort.  Those who don't ( Such 
as yourself) will never quite understand what the others are talking 
about."  - CMcKinlay
