Subject: Too Lite a Butt
What we need is this HD arc light that runs on a lithium ion battery for
two days, giving 250W, burns at 5400K and weighs 3lbs. Allowing that's 5
years away, it's supremely disappointing to fuck your gear before it's
wet. Painful too. However, it's even worse to have it fail for the first
time, when you need it. Oh, the *pain* of learning when you're old. You're
still learning, George Quatre, right, or are you too young? ;-)

What about the fibreglass stuff that DiveRite uses for its light packages,
or is that Too Lite a Butt?

Still in the dark.
