> Thank you for the link to MEC i followed it on to the manufacture site: http://intelightsport.com/ew.asp > good and interesting information... check out the Intelight Visibility Tests which also compares the IS to the ARC firefly... Good thing Intelight is LED. But it has one wrong feature - water activated switch. In a kayak, you often get a lot of water all over your PFD even before going overboard. It is also not clear how long is the battery life in steady diffused light (flood and low flood), which is prefered option for swimmer in waves, as it's been established - but I am sure it's longer than those with crypton bulbs. Prices in MEC are normally higher than in the US-based online stores (not to mention horrible canadian sales tax for local customers - but this is another story). *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
