The problem is, dive lights are behind by about 2yrs in the technology. Gotta sell the old stock before the new comes out I guess. For most of the high powered LED's they put out 80 lumens per watt. I just read a newsbit about a new lighting technolgy that puts out 120 lumens per watt using plasma technology. This is all I know about it right now, but I plan on looking into it soon. Having wallet pains dealing with taxes.

Here's a link for the techies on the plasma lighting:
It'll be interesting to see how fast this catches on. Not sure if this will work in diving applications, might be delicate like HID's.

I received some additional info on the plasma lights. They run on 28V and draw 9.5A. They would require some serious battery power. Not cheap either, the bulbs are $250. I inquired about a 12V version if in the works, Stay tuned...
