Awesome dive lite at a great price!
By scubakramersVerified Purchaser from Southeast Wisconsin on 8/28/2007
Pros:
Compact, High Intensity, Long Bulb Life, Reliable
Best Uses:
Close-Up Viewing, Recreational, video lite setup
Describe Yourself:
Advanced Diver
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Aqua Brightstar Darkbuster HID Dive Light:

I have yet to have anything negative to say about this lite. I mainly use them in tandem with flex arms for my underwater video setup and have obtained very good results with them. The burn time is excellent and recharge time is minimal with either the wall charger or car charger. They could use a wider video flood pattern and that would make them near perfect.

Comments about Aqua Brightstar Darkbuster HID Dive Light:

Unbelievable primary light for night diving. LOVE the rechargeable battery complete with home and car charger. Extremely bright light....almost too bright. Can be seen clearly ON THE BOTTOM from the boat in 90 feet of water in NORTHEAST dive conditions..... simply amazing. Make sure you secure the lantern or pistol grip well. Would prefer a different color canister (only comes in Black).
