I to have a tikka, but will be looking for a Black Diamond soon. The tikkas are great and I think maybe a hair better on the light output then the Black Diamonds, but if your hands are wet at all when turning the tikka on and off, the switch will carrode fairly quickly, especially around saltwater. The switch for the tikkas is on top and the water runs right down you fingers to the switch, the Black Diamond is on the bottom.
Either way I will never buy a incandesent flash light agin.
