Cool!  Is it waterproof?  Is the LED made by CREE?  Cree's been a hit on
wallstreet....good fundamentals.

Oops.  It SAYS it's waterproof.  To what depth, it doesn't say.

It does look like an interesting light.  The fact that it stays bright
for 50 hours is terrific.  It is hard to tell from the photo but it
looks like the light is more than just a straight-ahead flashlight and
is also somewhat bright from the sides of the lens.  If so, it would
make a good night light for visibility probably better than the C light
from ACR, but I don't know that.

I've been doing some research on LEDs and will try to convert a clight to a
bright LED. I'm also going to make an LED "bulb" that I can drop into my
headlamp. I'll let you know if it's successful. The white LED is the coming
replacement for flashlights.

Actually, I carry a couple of lights with me.  One in the deck bag, another
in my PFD... and when I'm scuba diving, they serve as my night lights.
However, if ever I pitchpol again, I hope it's in deep water... that stuff
where the bow digs into the sand is SCARY!
