Hi

Is anyone using the F3 Umbilical Torch with 250watt HID ? thinking of buying
this torch but would like any views first.  Is it an over kill maybe, what
weight is it when using the goodmans handle?  Is there a cheaper just as
good alternative.  I do not use video, sometimes use a scooter so like the
idea of a free hand.  Just like to hear views

Thanks

  Its not a 250W HID, its a 250 equivalent-Watt HID (i.e. comparable to
250W halogen).  At best, it probably means 50W HID bulb.  It might be a
good choice, or might be an overkill.  Depending on 1) where you dive,
2) what lights do your buddies use.  Where I live, umbilical HIDs tend
to tbe 21-24W range.  35W are now making their way into mainstream.
Very few people have 50W HID.
