Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've been diving since '93 and have had a fair number of lights over the years.I still love my big old UK1200 but it's a monster with 8 D Cells and I wanted a really good small backup light that could be kept with me all the time.
So I bought one of these and was astonished at how good it is.And so immediately bought a 2nd.We just got back from 8 days in Bonaire and I kept one with me during day dives, where it came in very handy for looking under ledges below about 40-50'.And I used both of them, one in each hand, for night dives.
Other lights have a "hot spot", and then a "halo" around that.This Intova Wide Angle has a single very wide hot spot.There is no discernible difference between the center and edges - it is simply one BIG hot spot.Quite bright and clear.If you have 2 of them, then you can pan them back and forth and bathe a very impressive swath of reef.If you want "more light" then simply overlap the two beams and VOILA - you get nearly double the output.So for $110 - get two of these and you will be very happy indeed.
The batteries last a good long time.Intova claims something like 8 hours or more.I'd say from my experience that you can get a good 5-6 hours, and they get dimmer after that.
Replacement batteries do not need to be all that expensive - just do a search on any major engine for CR-123 or CR-123a and you'll find these for about $1 per battery (2 needed) - so get a bunch and you're set - they are lithium and should really last.
Everything that you want to see from 1-15 feet - these are ideal.They do NOT have the penetrating power of a "true primary light" but that's ok by me since I'm highly focused on everything within 15', and usually 10' or less, at night.
I would say that these are the BEST 2ndary light ever, hands-down.But, I made very good use of them as a pair for my primary, and let one of our group borrow my monster UK1200.
I had considered getting Intova's high-end 3 LED primary but for $250, it didn't make sense, especially when I can just hold these 2 together and double-up my output whenever I like.
Bottom line - GET one, or better yet get two.
