Do any of you experienced wet suiters recommend any water proof lights???:confused:

The best thing I've found is small dive light. Other than that I just wear a normal headlight since your head should be out of water most of the time.

Princeton tech makes a water proof light. mine is a 3 led with a flashing type strobe ( which is good to signal friends with) i swim with mine almost every night and it works great.

Check out some of the sites that sell dive gear, and read the reviews for the different lights. Pelican and Princeton Tec both make pretty good models that will not set you back too much.

Pelican.
I've had a bunch. Usually get a few seasons out of them, and they are pretty cheap.
their cust. service is great as well.

Princeton Tec's do the job, but I've been looking for a better one lately. My light just burnt out the other night after 3 years. It didn't owe me anything. I'll have to check out these Pelican lights.

Larry, another vote for PT here :btu:

Although I don't wetsuit it I swear by the Princeton Tec 40's, and carry two - great lights. The 40's are like $20 or so and worth every penny.

I even rigged one on my mountain bike to use for my headlight at night, 4 AA's last a reasonable amount of time given the amount of light they put out when needed.

Petzl makes great lights. Some are specifically made for diving or combinations of spelunking and diving. Some Petzl models are not for diving etc so be careful which one you choose. I havethe samllest of the spelunking lights. Its a great light. Totally waterproof when submerged. The batteries last a whole season. Its more expensive upfront but it will last a decade or more. I got mine at EMS. I don't know if they are still in business as the one near me closed but somebody must still be selling Petzls in this ara. I paid about 79 dollars for mine in 1997. Not cheap but I still have it and it still works great.

Underwater Kinetics Mini Q40 eLED Plus or Mini Q40 Xenon. Very powerful which is what I would want when I'm far from shore.

I have a UK headlight.Not sure if it's waterproof but it has a red setting for night vision and the white light is more than enough for the walk down.I got it at REI.The Petzl lights get good reviews but they only had a redlight lense one when I was in the shop.Swapping a lense to me means another thing to lose.
