Ikelite selected the highest quality white LED's for maximum brightness and durability. A specially designed lens disperses the cool, bright light for an exceptionally even beam pattern completely free of hot spots. Many divers prefer the more natural looking light of white LED's over the yellowish cast of standard incandescent bulbs.
Highly efficient drivers yield an LED lifespan of 50 - 100 times the life of standard incandescent lamps, making replacement bulbs virtually obsolete. These LED's maintain their maximum brightness level much longer and without the low-battery "dimming" effects oftraditional lights.
When the batteries are nearly drained, the LED lights continue to emit a lower intensity output for hours or even days--long after incandescent lights have quit. This extended illumination period can make all the difference in an emergency situation.
The LED PC-series feature The unique snap-ring design for quick battery replacement and fool-proof seal. PC, PCa, and PCm LED's run cool and can be used for extended periods of time above water--making them the perfect choice for any adventure.

Comments about Ikelite Ikelite PC-M LED Light:
I have been using these Ikelite PCm lights for a while, both the halogen and now the LED versions.
We have never had a flood. Burn time is very long. Beam pattern is just right for night diving or peeking in dark holes.
This light runs well on 4 NiMH rechargeables, the ideal battery setup in my opinion. You can run Alkalines too for maximum flexibility.
Loading the batteries is just a little tricky. You have to assemble them into a loose pack then slide them up into the light. This is a compromise that yields the smallest possible size so I consider it worthwhile but practice a couple of times at home before you have to do it at the dive site. :-)
The switch does not have a safety to prevent unintentional activation so put a rubber band around it or something for travel.

Comments about Ikelite Ikelite PC-M LED Light:
Very good (if pricey) product. The only bad thing about this light is the switch, which is not so immediate to use. I personally prefer lights with a sliding switch.

Comments about Ikelite Ikelite PC-M LED Light:
I'm really happy I bought this dive light! I was looking for the lightest weight smallest dive light that would work OK for peering into dark places. Just got back from Cozumel and had this little champion down over 100 feet many times... (Devil's Throat etc.) and it worked just great as a primary dive light. Small, very compact, very light, yet surprisingly bright. I would use it as a primary on a night dive. I like it so much, I'm planning on buying a 2nd one just like it!

Comments about Ikelite Ikelite PC-M LED Light:
This is a great compact light. It rivals much larger traditional dive lights. It's only a matter of time before these LED lights are the only thing used. This light is small enough to keep in your BC pocket but really can serve as a primary if needed.
