   Recently one of the usual suspects decided to recommend another piece of 
useless gear  - the twist on light head. The problems are:

0) The obvious - one more failure point

1) The handle is the anode -great idea for salt water

2) When it gets a little dirty - it might still work, or it might not

3) When it floods , it shorts out in salt water.

4) It is not focusable

5) You can not signal with it - extremely dangerous

6) It puts out a blob of light rather than a beam

7) It is very heavy

8) It requires a separate convolution to make it a goodman handle

9) Changing the bulb is a nightmare - four screws, a gasket , etc

10) The lens and o-ring are one more failure point

11) It uses the useless type of light bulb

12) Ony a blithering idiot would own something like this, and having one is
like 
    wearing a t-shirt that says, "I have no clue".
