 Dive light

Has anyone used any of the Archon dive lights. They look good on paper, but the price is so much less than say, a Dive Rite, that I hesitate to buy one. My experience has always been if it sounds to good to be true, it usually is. I thought I would ask though.

Are you looking for video compatibility?

No just wanted a dive light for wreck diving, and cave diving.

OK I am thinking of buying a used Dive Rite canister light, but I am concerned about getting bulbs, and replacement parts. I don’t seem to be able to zero in on a parts list or source. Are they dealer serviced only like regulators, and such?

Light Monkey’s lights are bullet proof. I beat the heck out of mine. The 21 watt HID’s penetrate very well. Light Monkey’s repair costs are reasonable & customer service is top notch.
