Dive Light Recommendations - For Tropical Waters

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.
