Neck lights

I use the smaller (4 aaa cell) PT attitude LED light. It has proven durable (I had one fail I think from a bulb issue..they replaced it).
Cheap enough to buy several to keep on hand and light enough to cary a spare in your bag. Seems very waterproof.
It is a pain having to twist on and off when your hands are full.
Great battery life. Once on it is easy to hold in your teeth for long periods (like when walking in).
Very bright. Get a red one to save your eyes from shine back through the plastic. Otherwise tape the area behind the lens cap.

I think the light I had was an older attitude. Decent light, but I wasn't a fan of the twist-on feature to activate the light. The Torrent has a toggle switch instead. Not worried about a red lense as this will just be a safety/spotting light.

Toby,
Check out the Nebo line. SWE has a few models in stock and can get other models. Haven't used it but the Nebo Quarrow Vista 3 looks nice, is water proof, and won't break the bank. Just google it. I've used a few other Nebos but they are only listed as water resistant.

Fenix makes a nice 100 lumen Cree LED , single AA neck light thats submersible ( IPX-8 ) for about $ 25, at REI. Very bright, 2 settings, low and high, ( by twisting the front ),push button tailcap for on and off.

Actually, I did not mean the lens (for the sake of others), I was talking about the color of the plastic body. There is light leakage backwards through the body. When I got a blue light it wrecked my night vision every time I turned it on. Fixed it with tape, but the red body was better. I agree that a switch would be ideal, the twist on function is difficult when trying to light up a fish.

Hey Toby,
I picked up a UK Mini Q40 eLED Plus in early October. It is a dive light supposedly waterproof to 500 Feet. I really haven't had a chance to put it through it's paces yet to see how waterproof and dependable it is, but it's taken some splashes and seems to be ok so far. It is very bright. The drawback is the twist on/off function, I would love a push button. I have a feeling UK may make a push button on/off as well. I zip tied a diving regulator mouthpiece onto it so I can bite down on the light and turn on/off and keep my hands relatively free.

Here is a pic w/ a bottle darter for size reference.

Kev, that regulator mouth piece idea is mint. I have to try that.
