*The Aggressor Fleet* has selected NiteRider as a corporate partner for fleet activities. After many successful years of using NiteRider Dive Lights as their primary dive and video lights, Aggressor has decided to use NiteRider exclusively on all their liveaboards. Aggressor President Wayne Hasson says “Working up close and personal with marine life requires dependable video lighting. Imagine being surprised by a Sea Snake who wrapped itself around my Pro 40 HID lights. No question the NiteRider Video lights keep on working and have become the choice for lighting needs of the Aggressor Fleet** worldwide. We use NiteRider primarily because of their dependability and for the wonderful light they put out on video subjects.” You can see more of Wayne Hasson at: www.aggressor.com.

	Sport Diver Magazine "In short, it's probably the most advanced underwater lighting system now on the market." "How do you improve a dive light? Make it smaller - or brighter - or both. This is exactly what NiteRider has done with the HID Dive Light, which, thanks to a pair of new technologies, produces more light and burns longer than conventional systems twice its size. The first key to this light's performance is the use of a high-intensity discharge (HID) bulb, which produces a brilliant blue-white light while using far less battery power than a conventional bulb of the same brightness. The NiteRider HID uses a 10-watt, 13.2-volt system that produces the equivalent light of a conventional 50-watt incandescent bulb. In addition, the HID burns hotter, producing a full-spectrum 6,000-degree color temperature that is close to sunlight. The other technology that NiteRider has brought to underwater dive lights is the use of latest-generation nickel-metal hydride batteries, which pack far more power on a per-ounce basis than conventional alkaline or NiCad cells. Compared to an equivalent NiCad pack, NiteRider's nickel-metal hydride system delivers a third longer burn time (four hours), weighs 30 percent less and has a shorter recharge time. Like other NiteRider lights, the HID is housed in a compact, impact-resistant casing, with the battery attached by way of a flexible cable. A variety of attachment systems allow the light to be handheld, worn as a headlamp or mounted on a diving helmet, safety reel or even a DPV. As you might guess from these mounting options, the NiteRider system is popular with technical and commercial divers. I tested the HID on a series of dives in a local lake, with the objective of locating and raising a metal pipeline. The compact battery pack mounted easily on my BC cummerbund and was just slightly negative in fresh water. During the search phase, I wore the light on a hand mount, then switched to the head mount when it was time to deploy the lift bags. The HID was considerably brighter than my dive buddy's conventional handheld light, and its blue-white beam seemed to carry farther than the yellowish glow his produced. Technical divers, commercial divers and wanna-be salvors such as myself will embrace the NiteRider HID with enthusiasm, but it would also make a heck of a primary light for night diving and for video work. In short, it's probably the most advanced underwater lighting system now on the market. - Pierce Hoover Summary New battery and bulb technologies allow the HID to burn brighter and last longer than conventional dive lights. If you need a compact, high-performance underwater lighting system for work, exploration or just for fun, this is it." 2002 World Publications, LLC Other NiteRider Dive News: History of NiteRider Dive Lights In the summer of 1989, Tom Carroll, a Del Mar California surfer/diver found that working full time took a serious chunk out of his water time. To rectify this problem, he set out to extend his day by way of a 150 watt helmet-mounted halogen light with a NiCad battery pack attached to his waist belt. He called it his "NiteRider" and used it for late night surfing sessions and spearfishing forays. Tom took this concept a step further by starting a successful business around the idea of a "hands-free" underwater lighting system. Among Tom's first clients were the Cousteau Dive Team. Which included Jean-Michel Cousteau who, after ten years, still use these lighting systems for their expeditions. No matter what the situation calls for, NiteRider delivers the clearest, brightest light available right where you need it. Why? As with all of our systems, NiteRider innovations start with the headlamp. This high-tech light head is compact, lightweight, and completely waterproof. Made of a rugged fiberglass-nylon composite, the shell can be fitted with a light output range from 5w to 70w.The 4-position headlamp mounted switch on the Dual-Beam system allows you to move easily from one lamp to the other or use them together. To power up these incredibly bright light systems, we offer the long-lasting, high-quality Nickel-Cadmium or a new Nickel Metal Hydride battery pack. These super-tough power packs provide high power and reliability for the toughest applications and the harshest conditions.
