The Pro wasn't introduced until Gen 2. I'd have to look it up, but the Pro of any generation adds more LED's to the mix. I'll see if I can scrounge up the links I saw with a solid explanation in the morning.

There's a link to the difference

To sum it up: more LEDs, and much much stronger.

I actually ran a Pro for 5 years and was very successful (used the wide angle lenses). I felt like it was a great light.

Thank you! I am getting ready to buy a used pair of pros and wanted to be sure what I was getting.

Thanks, Aaron
