Now change that 50W light for an 18W EE HID one, and get 2.5x the burn time,
the brightness equivalent of a 90W light, daylight color temp, etcetera.
Plus, it won't turn itself on and motor away from you if you take it deep.

Tried mine on a night dive off the Vision last month and it made everyone
else's light look like their batteries were dying.  And scared the
natives...
