Neck lights

[GattaFish]

I have the Torrent LED. Stayed away from the Xenon because of the battery life. Its a big light. ok for spotting rocks but would be better if it had a focusable beam.

I have gone through at least 6 lights this year... ALL CLAIMED TO BE WATER PROOF...

I burned out a UK Vizion on second one now,.... 3 stream lights.. and 2 princeton tech 3.5 amps.

I have a little light like the rage I use as a back up...

I like the stream lights because of the push buttons. The old one I had lasted years... new ones stink.... then the vizion. not much keeping the water out.... The 3.5 amp push button was terrible.. lasted maybe a couple weeks.

I am not a big fan of anything in my mouth when I swim. not to mention if I want to tie a knot I cant see because my light is down,,,

Some great responses, thanks!

Tom, I am leaning towards the Torrent still. Maybe seeing yours was where I remembered it from. Funny you mention issues with the Vizion headlamp, one of mine crapped out this year. Got back from a night in the suit and the light was full of water. I didn't realize it and puit it away for my next trip. Well, 5 days of salt water soaking into the electronics didn't help the light in any way. Went to my backup the next trip and the case started popping open. It actually fell right off my head on the walk out to the Hill one night. Time to contact the company to see what kind of warrantee they have.
