Excellent Primary Dive Light

I purchased the NOVA 850R to replace an older led dive light. After several dives I can say that I'm quite pleased with my purchase. The light is very bright, even on the half power setting, and provides a wide angle of illumination. The size is perfect for a primary light, however I would say its probably a little too large to be used as a backup light. The electronic switch is a nice feature preventing accidental activation of the light. Battery life seems to be quite good when using quality name brand batteries. I was originally using a protected flat top cell, however the light can accommodate up to a 70mm button top cell. A 3500mAh battery gave excellent run times. Overall this seems to be a quality built dive light that will last. My only recommendation is to purchase quality batteries to power this light. A little bit of research regarding manufacturer, capacity, and CDR is invaluable and will keep your light going during your dives.
