De Marchi Contour Light Shorts

Advantages: Very, very bright; Build quality
Disadvantages: Large; Ugly

...'d suggest going with one of the first two options. With all of the LEDs on permanently this light is so bright that it's not just a light to be seen by, but also to see by if you have to venture outwith streetlit areas. And even in this setting the four AA batteries will give you 110 hours of runtime (apparently 300 hours in flashing mode).

I can't talk up this light enough, but if you really want to see how bright it is in motion visit www.citycycling.co.uk and look at the ccMovies page - until 7th December there will be a video on there of the light in action (and the accompanying rear light which will be reviewed shortly), and after this date it will always be available on the citycycling...

All you have to do is to unpack everything from box, stretch a clamp... Read review

...as well go and sit in once of those sensory depravation chambers. Given that a torch relies on a number of not very sturdy components that are prone to breaking having a back up torch is essential. In over 100 dives I have had need to use my backup torch on three dives, once because I had the battery around the wrong way in my main torch (for which I was fined a round of beers by my fellow club members), once because the charge ran out while on a night dive in the Red Sea, and the third time was when the torch flooded and the bulbs went pop. Underwater Kinetics Sunlight UKD8 Dive Light This is my main torch and has been with me since I started diving in the UK. This is a sturdy dive light with a pistol grip. The main body of the torch is made from tough, non-corroding ABS and polycarbonate plastic construction. The lens is surrounded... Read review
