Beware of any lighting system which requires attachment to the tank. For one it is a snag magnet back there and the power cord is way too long and gets tangled. This is a classic stroke light right up there with the neutraleak and other fiascos. Even Tom Mount has given up on this flawed configuration. An advantage of a big battery is that you don't have to disassemble it after every dive to recharge and fight all the photo people for a plug (assuming your diveboat even has 110 available.).
