Archon WH36 Canister light

[Benoit]

Hi,

I saw a Archon WH36 canister light on Alibaba, im wondering how much they sell these. Im sure the price is way overprice, but still. It could be a easy way out, for some that don't want to DIY.

Ever herd of it ?

Thx

They may not be too expensive as they are the typical Chinese copy cat light.

Have these appeared at any retail site yet (or any other canister light BTW)?

The ratings are fiction.

30W for 210 min is 105 Watt-Hours. A 26650 is about 15 W-H, and there are three, for a total of 45 W-H. So either the LEDs are driven only to 40% of the claimed 30W, or you'll get more like 90 min than 210.

You've got to wonder where else the truth is stretched thin...

but still, this could be a great light 1.5 hours is plenty of time underwater (i personaly only have a 80cf cylinder)
Not to say that im not lighting my lamp all the time on High.

I received a e-mail from them:

Haha, i don't feel like beta testing, i will wait to see if we heard more of it in near future.
I was close of pulling the thriger on the TR DF 003, and im so glad i didn't people only report problem with it.
So i learn to make a good research before paying
Plus im already building my own.

Holy crap that's big!!! I'm still trying to figure out whether that's really a hand???? lol

[rodex99]

saw this thread and googled Archon.....and they kinda' remind me of.........http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...uot-Dive-light ?

[350xfire]

That's funny cause that's exactly what I thought!!! BTW, those lights are being sold at DX, I think... They are about $30.

[Codiak]

the goodman handle and canister might make $30 a good investment

On another board, I did call some one out on the similarities between Archon lights and Triton lights. They never replied:

I wonder who they copied the DH30 from this time?
