I have used one of these as my primary dive light about ten years and it was great. However, I lost that one on the last dive trip to California's Channel Islands, I think the lanyard broke. The one I just purchased to rplace it was sitting on a counter when it got bumped and it fell 3 feet onto the carpet and now it won't work. I changed the bulb but it seems to be the switch which broke. I'll have to send it back to Princton to get it fixed. It doesn't seem to be as rugged as the first one I had but I'll stick with Princton anyhow.

turning on was tricky. The switch would not always turn on the light. At times the switch had to be in just the right location before the light would operate. It was not as easy as on off. And at times it would not turn on right away.

    Comments about Princeton Tec, Tec 400:

    My dive buddy and I both got these to use for wreck diving mostly and to try to use during night dives. I used it once and it broke and flooded. My buddy's broke when we went to 90ft. during a wreck dive. We had to throw them away. Really disappointed.

      Comments about Princeton Tec, Tec 400:

      Took the light on 4 dives to Florida. Upon returning and pulling batteries for storage the light was found to be flooded. Leisure Pro replaced it for me. Good customer support by Leisure Pro will keep me coming back to look at products because I know they will stand behind what they sell.
