OMS Phantomâ„¢ HID Dive Lights are Awesome and ExpensiveStumble This

OMS Phantom Divelight

Most people do not have any practical use for a dive light, but they are so pretty to look at.  There are dive lights and there are dive lights.  If you are getting your PADI Advanced Open Water and are taking a night dive as part of your program, you do not really need one of these.  If, however, you are into wreck diving or oh so exciting and oh so deadly cave diving, you are definitely going to want one of these.

The OMS Phantom HID Divelight offers you 450 Lumens of light, a five-second restart time and 270 minutes of burn time on the standard battery.  You can have 540 minutes if you opt for the 8Ah battery pack.  Batteries are rechargeable lithium ion cells and it will take you 4 hours to charge the 4Ah battery (10 hours for the 10Ah battery).  The 10W bulb pumps out almost twice as much light as a good Maglite, and it can withstand 1700 FSW on the 4Ah or 1000 FSW on the 8Ah.

Price, for one and remember a good tech diver will want two (in case of equipment failure) $864.50
