Do yourself a favor John, Don't even look at it!!!! The light head is crap - it's hard to adjust the beam and the bulb is difficult to replace. The twist switch is crap, basically solder points instead of good quality silver contacts. Crap for cord - 18 ga. This cord has 5 conductors and only 4 are used. Presumably some idiot thought the number of conductors would lend itself to a nice round cross section. Even the bulkhead glands are crap. Crap, Crap, Crap! And then we come back to the square versus round canister issue - need more be said? But you can add a second light head! the convoluted design of this light makes a MLS look like art. Ask me how I know.

What's wrong with it? The pictures looked interesting (except for the tank mount ) but couldnt tell much from them, really. Is the lighthead-switch of the same principle as the dive-rite? Here's the site if you want a look.. http://www.ikelite.com/web_pages/spdlite.html John Dunk o Lake City,Fl o screwloose@el*.co* ____o_____ -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
