Hi,

I have been recommending divers to use the 30 Watts UK800 bulb in the
lesser rated UK1200 divelights if they already have the UK1200 (along
with rechargeables) and a want for twice as much light.  This worked
well in the past.

I have no apriori reason to believe however that the
reflector materials in the two lights are the same.
My own almost 7 years old UK1200 show a slight discoloration of the
reflector right next to the bulb.  This is the same as what I have seen
and gotten one report about in UK800s. New evidence on another UK1200
suggest that the reflector suffered a tad more damage as in actually
deforming a bit if I understood the e-mail correctly. The correspondent
said however that the damage was of an irrelevant nature. But I do
wonder what changes/damage can be found in *newer* UK800s and UK1200s
when using the 30 Watt halogen bulb ?


thanks
john
