Hi Jon,
The 501 B has a 4.2 volt battery wich
I couldn't get in NZ, so had to order the batteries & charger with
it.
I haven't oil filled & dived with my modified
flash light (on psubs). Swam through a cave with the unmodified
version & it took in water despite having O
rings everywhere, this didn't leave me with a lot of confidence that
it
would hold in oil.
Initially I thought I could run 3 of these lights
in series off 12 volts but because of the 3 mode circuitry it
won't function properly.
20 days ago I ordered 3 x 900 lumen dive lights
that run off 12v, but they haven't been dispatched yet.
In a live chat with a Chinese customer support
person, I asked her if she could kick someone in
the bum really hard.
I like Deal Extreme, they have customer comments
& videos so you know what you're in for. They have some good
deals but they've stuffed things up a few
times.
Latest order below. There is a video of a tech
diving team using them on a 70 meter dive, so won't have to oil fill
these.
Alan
