!!!Light to attach My Scuba Mask!!!

I'm not a cave diver so the bigger light like BarboU-15 that attach to helmet, is out of the question. T_T

I'm looking at UK2AAA and UK2AAA eled. I counfuse me that the led one is more expensive and the out put are only 2 Lumens. While the Xenon one is 12 lumens and cheaper.

What do i missing here?

Oh and nice to meet you all. It's my first time here.
I wish there a way to put 1,2,3,4.5w luxenon in it, Because I dont really care about the burn time. My night dive is usually less than 1 hour anyway.

Welcome E-boat!

The LED version is more expensive because of the extra electronic components needed to run a LED off 2AA/AAA batteries.

Have you looked at the UK mini-Q40? It uses 4AA, but it's fairly small as well, and it attaches to a dive mask.

Thank for the quick reply greenLed. So the led one can use AA batteries also WoW !!!

Yup, I just bought one for my brother a couple of months ago. Not the brightest light ever created, but it has loooooong runtime and it's UK-quality.

Hello E-Boat

Welcome at CPF

I'm not a diver but what I've heard from friends (divers), you will need a really dive-light for diving at night, no clear water or in the depht. This little UK's perhaps are good in the bathroom.

If you will take a little one, take a look to the barbo U-04:

Believe me, the UK's you have postet are only for playing, but not underwater.

2 Problems:
1 The circuit board in the 2AAA eLED does not have the power to drive a Luxeon. As the Luxeons are less efficient than 5mm LEDs you will probably get a dimmer light.
2 There is not enough space to mount a Luxeon on the eLED circuit board.

There are reported sucess in replacing the stock 5mm LED with a 5mm MJLED. You can also try the SMJLED or Nichia CS.
