Greg,
A common practice when diving with a HID is to carry a backup in
your pocket. The backup is your typical 50W halogen bulb, socket, test
tube with an e/o pig tail.
If you are diving in the optimal dive team you should have two other
buddys lights brightly glowing while you make a fairly fast switch if
such an event should acure. Beside your two buddies light you should
also have at least two back up lights,to possibly signal those buddies.
This dive team should have a minimum of 9 lights.
Until something better comes along this looks as though it will be
the norm. You may want to check with the light manufacturer as far as
warrenty goes but good luck on the HID units. These seem to be for the
big boys with big bucks doing big dives.
