Grant If you are looking for Pelican lights, stay away from dive shops. Head for Mountain Equipment Coop. They sell the Sabrelight for about $CDN35. I use them myself as backups, but they have some flaws. The cord attaches on the side instead of the end, and the clip is bogus. Remove the clip, and tie on a bolt-snap. Not perfect, but functional, cheap, and available. ttfn David Pearson Nortel, Public Carrier Networks Ottawa, Ontario, Canada dpearson@no*.ca* In message "backup lights", you write: > Following the thread on backup lights, I checked out my local dealer. > > He has two lights by Pelican that may work out.
