A few of the benefits are: The light head portion of the canister light is much lighter than a traditional hand held light, resulting in less arm fatigue. As well, a canister light equipped with a Goodman handle can be operated while still permitting the unrestricted use of both hands (the single most important reason). For close-up work, it can be hung around the neck to illuminate whatever you are doing. The light head is focuseable, which helps to be able to see down long cave tunnels or wreck passages, and which is mandatory for effective signalling using the light. Typically, canister lights burn both longer and brighter than hand helds. The light head is easily clipped off when you don't need it. When properly mounted, the canister light actually presents less drag than a hand held light when swimming. -Sean -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
