I have a ray-o-vac....I am using one now because my other lights are dead. it is ok but it is not an LED and has no red light or other modes...it is featureless, on and off is all you get. The push button is good and it seems pretty water resistant. (I have some peeling of the mirror layer on mine)

I still don't see a light I really like. I had a princeton tec arora but it could not take the salt water and has a dinking switch I could never find.

Here are the elements of my "prefect light"

0) Must be LED light (the battery life is amazing)

1) 100% waterproof and not effected by salt water. (you should be able to submerege this light and it still works.)

2) white light modes:
- low wide beam
- high wide beam
- high narrow beam
- rapid flashing bright beam
3) red light modes (no sliding filters)
- low level (wider beam)
-med level (wider beam)

4) separate EASY TO FIND BUTTON switches for red and white light.

5) no strap on battery packs must be self contained

6) neck and head wearable

7) 100% factory lifetime replacement warrenty against failure

8) 3 AAA battery design and must use standard batteries.

cost under $100, that is right, I would spend 100 on a light but it has to have those spec's.
