[FONT=&quot]Hi,I live in Greece and I tried night spearfishing last week I have to say it is nothing compared to day spearfishing I mean you are the hunter so you set the rules.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]So a friend of mine dived with me and he had the vega 2 light which is 10+years old and wasn't powerful enough so I am searching for a very powerful light with the widest beam angle posible,that's the most important part.Because you may miss a lot of fishes that are close to you.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]So far I liked a few lights which are:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]1)Bigblue VL3500P which has a 120degree beam angle[/FONT]

[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]2)Underwater kinetics Rechargeable Light Cannon L1 eLED Light which seams very powerful to me but I know nothing about it's beam angle[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]For secondary light I already bought a small light if I run out of battery and I have a head light for thing like charging the gun etc..[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]It would be very helpful if someone could list me something like top 5 light no matter the price I'm determined to pay.[/FONT]

Hi Mikol99 - I started a thread recently asking about a similar torch : http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb...g-torch-longer-runtime-brighter-output-needed

I would say from my experience that a wide beam is good in very clear waters but as soon as you have any particles in the water then a wide beam just gives you backscatter. i,e. all you do is light up the particles and form a sort of 'light fog'.
I've found it better to have a torch with a central beam and additionally a nice gradual corona.

I'm currently looking for a high-ish output with a long-ish runtime (3hrs / 1500+ lumens).

Must be nice fishing in Greece! Warm waters and interesting fish.

PS - check your local laws.... are you allowed to spearfish at night in Greece?
