To a certain extent, a 10w HID is a 10w HID. The only difference is in focus and the reflector used. The Brightstar HID lights are brighter, in that they sell a 21w version. But honestly, I'd much rather have a canister light at that point. Much more convenient, longer lasting batteries, far less bulk to deal with on the dive, and less in your hands (with a goodman handle). Check out the Salvo's for the best lights for the money. For the lowest price, the Sea Elite is an OEM'd Salvo with some slightly lower quality parts and less warranty, but the cheapest way to get into a canister light (aside from used).

canister lights can be used by rec divers.

You can get 10 watt, 18 watt, 21 watt, 24 watt, 35 watt and 50 watt.

Of course, at some point, you are wielding more power than Luke Skywalker....but it is kind of fun

A canister light is definitely on my list! Thanks for your suggestions.
