A small hobby of mine is to experiment with my BOB to see how much stuff I can fit in there. The LED flashlight I have in there now, while it's really nice, is just too thick and heavy. So I'm looking for a nice LED flashlight that's small/slim (takes just 2 AAA's at the most), waterproof to a reasonable depth (so that I could for example go snorkeling at night with it), and ideally glow-in-the-dark. And of course good battery efficiency and long-life and yadayada, though I know this will be offset by the small size.

I've spent untold hours searching the internet and this forum, but I can't find *just* what I need, only things really close...any suggestions? Thanks!
 
There's a Princeton Tec dive light that takes 2 AAAs and uses a LED, but it doesn't glow in the dark. You could paint it with glow paint.... Princeton Tec and Underwater Kinetics are about your only options if you insist on being able to snorkel with it.
 
The Arc AAA+ uses one AAA battery and is bombproof. I had a hard time paying the price for the first one that I got, but it put out a very useful amount of light in such a small durable package that I now have several. The latest incarnation of the premium was just released using a DS led.

I have one attached to the outside of my B.O.B. using one of the CountyComm titanium clips
 
hmm i've never seen the arc before, but that looks like a cool little package...i have a princeton tec, but i've never seen their diving line before...didn't even know they had one...i'll have to look into that too...thanks much for your input
 
Underwater Kinetics makes some great 2AAA dive lights. You should checkout anything on their line, you will not be disappointed!
