I do not have any more square lights becaust I updated then to modular 
lights. As I did post months ago I have and so have numerous other 
folks dived them to 400 + with no problems. howevewr as pointed out 
this does exceed their intended design depth. At least DR did 
acknowledge that. I still have had no problems with that light. It is 
updated as there is an improved light out, that will take 500+ feet 
without a battery in it.

Second ything is there are tens of thousands of diving hours on the 
neutralight with happy and satisfied divers. I do not think any 
studenty of mine who purchases a DR neutralight has had objections to 
the sevice and it's performance. I never did.

I also buy new regulators, new tanks new dery suits etc when a design 
is improved I think that is rather normal behaviour for someone in 
volved in the sport or profession.
