Hi, I am interested in this dive light but can't find any reviews at all. Main reasons why I like it are: Plastic body, so no "metal dive light syndrome" (corrosion, shorts, etc), long run time hopefully (3 x 18650), and reasonable price ($90 USD). If anyone has this light, please let us know how it performs.
POP Lite F8 Cree XM-L T6 600LM (3 x 18650) from DX anybody?

I'd be hesitant to spend that much on a DX light that might well come with crap o-rings, poorly designed o-ring glands, and poorly molded plastic too. At the very least you'd want to inspect everything carefully and upgrade the o-rings before diving with it, if you can find the right rings.
I didn't get the f8 yet, but I already have the pop lite f2 for a couple of years now, and find it's build quality to be fine. There's a few Chinese knockoffs of the Chinese pop lite f2 on dx, of inferior quality. But it seems that the f8 has no sales or reviews yet, and the price is still quite high. I think I'll wait hoping for a price drop sometime.
