That was a pretty good light from our tests last year in NY harbor which you can find at http://home.earthlink.net/~taterka/HPBG.html That eco flare has gotten better now that they have put LEDs in them. One problem with the Princeton Tec lights...they have no flanges or slots for putting a webbing strap through to attach to your PFD or elsewhere. They have the slots on their strobe and on one other light in diving, the flashing light. I had to get that flashlight and use just the body and swapping in non-flashing bulb (or now the LED aftermarket they just introduced). ralph diaz *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
