Hi

I've been looking at the Salvo hand-held light. I wonder if it might not be a perfectly good alternative to a can-light for my style of diving. I don't cave, and I don't dive for much more than an hour.

Seems like the handheld can give me the burn-time and light output I need (10 wat hid, 135 minutes burn). It can be mounted on a goodman handle, and clipped in the same place as a standard head (is it much bigger than a 21watt head with ballast?).

Also seems like not having the can and umbilical removes some hassle and some nominal failure points.

So is there a reason why this light would not be DIR for these kind of dives?
