WHats a good flashlight for hole hunting?

can someone offer any advice on a good small flashlight for hole hunting? my C4 just isnt working well, much too bulky and heavy for diving with.

thanks!

I asked Fuzz the same question a while back and this is what he recommended to me.  http://www.uwkinetics.com/products/sl4-eled-l1
I bought it from Leisure Pro when it was on sale for much cheaper than the link I provided you, so be sure to shop around. It's a badass flashlight, I definitely recommend it.

Hey John,
Do you want a handheld or one that you can mount to your gun?
Intova makes good lights, high lumens, and can mount to your gun if needed.

Make your own.

Just exactly what I've been looking to buy and wa la
Thanks Tote

The regular sl4 eled is what I use.  The new L1 version Shellback linked to is awesome... but I already have 3 of the base eled ones (& one modified one).   

On sale, the regular ones are ~$50.

Somewhat pricey, but bombproof, good battery life, & a nice clean bright white light.

I was browsing Austin kayak's and saw this.  I don't know if this is good product.  Hope this helps.

thanks for all the good info guys, i have been out of the dive gear scene for a while and just bee4n using old stuff i have had for 10+ years.

my stuff is all falling apart. i just tore an omer footpocket behind the heel and fixed it with a hypalon patch and inflatable boat adhesive : )

my work ordered up some intova lights which area great but i never thought of using them for the ocean. i may have to do so. they got them because they are bright and we use them for testing in which we need to see lots of defects on a really shiny surface. i think the ones we use at work are are the dual cr123 battery wide beam torches.

i used to have a light mounted on one of my guns but it just was not working well, line getting caught up in it and it changes how the gun feels. i only use old euroguns which i have tinkered a lot with and anything other than a round barrel all by itself up at the front of the gun feels awkward and unbalanced to me. the gopro i use is at the back so its by the hand and does not seem too weird.

i'll let you know how it goes and what i choose, definitely the c4 has to go! that damn thing is too heavy and bulky!

 

I had an intova, lost it, bought a new one. Joe found the one I lost and he now has it mounted on his pneumatic!

I bought a princeton Tec torrent for when my brother in law was visiting. Lent him the intova and he lost it and then I bought the sl4 eled.

The intova is bright but the beam was super narrow.

After one dive with the sl4 I like it a lot!
 


Sincerely,

Jim
