I'm doing pure rec dives in saltwater with no intention of going tec
Both lights are priced around the same range and I can see great reviews for both especially the Intova so what do you guys suggest?
Appreciate the comments! ]]> Lights scubachris http://forum.scubatoys.com/lights/28012-uk-sl4-eled-vs-intova-4-7w-compact-torch.html http://forum.scubatoys.com/lights/27920-how-do-routing-cable-can-light.html Tue, 10 Nov 2009 15:50:48 GMT Looks like I going to be a proud owner of new Hollis can light and my wife is going to be owner of new front washer and dryer. I use a Hollis back plate and from what I can gather you remove your d-ring on the right side and slide the battery onto the belt and hold in place using an extra buckle. Seems there is a lot of disagreement how the cable is routed, so my question is how do you route the cable from the battery to the light head?

Want to get two and possibly tank light. Looking to spend about $100. I only dive around 60' and these will be used maybe five times before I replace them once I'm working again. Any ideas? Looking for 'Definately buy this' to 'I'd smack ya for havin' one o' those'.

Image: http://www1.dealextreme.com/productimages/sku_29069_11.jpg ]]> I recently ordered a Magicshine 900L light for biking from geomangear.com. Apparently, there is now a dive light available from the same manufacturer, though I don't see it yet on geoman's site. DX has it, though.

I'm in the market for a good light for recreational (daytime and warm-water night dives) use and this one looks intriguing. There has been a lot of discussion at mtbr.com about the quality/durability of the Magicshine bike lights, and such issues would obviously be even more critical for a dive light.

900 lumens, rechargeable Li Ion batteries and charger, $81 shipped.
