Well the results would be highly variable, if we had a basis in which to start. Maybe, Perhaps, using a triple cree xml rebuild? But in reality, since we all know each other and the supplier, it would be a draw on light output and run time.

How about an IROC sort of thing. Every builder starts with the same components and we go from there?

Can any of you guys recommend a BCD that will match my Yellow split fins?

My dive light IS the brightest.

It does not cook fish when you point it at them.

It will blind my buddies, but with the exception of Dash, I don't point it at them.

It lasts for about 4 hours which is more than enough.

Anyone who does not like how much light it puts out is welcome to not dive with me.

Challenge accepted, I have a shipment of parts coming with a host I measured. Canister will soon to follow. Too bad I don't have a dive rite hid rebuild instead, those make great hosts.
Ummm, what did you measure on the host? Hell, I don't even know what that means and not sure I want to know.

"Canister will soon to follow"??? H20 must have you all tongue tied huh.

Light head aka for you, the thing which makes shine in water when black all around.

I'll translate for you, canister is in the mail behind the parts order.
