The pictures were taken with a simple point-and-shoot camera and are thus not well focused but very nicely show the superb beam quality and illumination power of the Warp-10.

The bottom line is that I am extremely satisfied with my new light. The peace of mind of having a bright, reliable light for many hours is very comforting especially on solo dives. Despite its high price tag, I assume that the lithium iron phosphate battery will outlast equivalent nickel metal hydride batteries by a factor of three to four in terms of charging cycles (as described on the Tillytec website), without significant decrease in performance. Time will tell. This brings me to the last point – the 10-year warranty. I am confident that the light will live up to the expectations that such an extended warranty promises. If it does, it is well worth the few hundred dollars extra when compared to competitors’ lights.
