Expectations were too high

By Scuba Steve

from Champaign, IL on 10/25/2006

Pros:

Compact, Long Bulb Life, White light

Cons:

Breaks Easily, Weak Beam

Best Uses:

Close-Up Viewing, Recreational

On my second dive of a week long liveaboard, the switch broke internally, beyond repair. I think that there is a design flaw in the trigger mechanism. Nice, clean white light, however, High Intensity was not a term that came to mind while using this light. I felt it was underpowered. I believe in the technology of the LED, no filiment to jar loose and long life.

Cutting Through Briny New England Waters

By RIR from Narragannsett Bay RI on 10/24/2006

Pros:

Battery long life, Easy grip handle, Excellent coverage area, Form fitting handle, High power low power, High visibitiy colr selec, Lightweight, White light in foggy wate

Cons:

Expensive, Lens prone to cracking, Lens prone to leaking, Over priced

Best Uses:

Night Diving New England

Ironically my Shockwave (original - non LED - 1.5 seasons) flooded as a result of the lens/crystal cracking and flooding! Obviously not enough plastic or not enough rubberized foam cushion. My dive buddy was using the Shockwave LED and I could clearly see underwater that it was a superior lamp with excellent bright coverage. It was an easy decision to buy the LED model despite the lens and crystal being suspect. (Same Lens Crystal as the original)
