Affordable LED dive light

[scrane]

I like the Big Blue 450 lumens lights for daytime shadow areas. No hotspot in both the wide and narrow fixed models. Both run on 3x AAA.

they added an extra 0 to their lumen output, though if it burns for 5 hours on c cells it's only averaging about 500 lumen give or take

Yep, but it is bright.

The 9000 lumen light is fairly large (3C) and using older tech. Personally I think the DGX 600 Handheld Light Kit is one of the better buys around, much smaller making it easier to handle, likely just as bright as it uses the same LED bulb, has a great track record with divers, AND will be backed up by DGX.

I use a U.K. C8 and find it to be an awesome light. However I'm only using it for catching bugs. If you're looking to do more penetration dives or cave dives it's probably not the light for you.

A buddy was unsatisfied with the UK C8 and he got the DGX 600 with soft Goodman. He likes it a LOT better, plus he no longer has to throw away hoards of C cells.

I have a couple of Tovatec Fusion 530's and I'm very happy with them. They make a smaller and larger version as well.
They are compact, have adjustable beam angles, 3 intensity settings, strobe, a rechargeable battery, can use 3 AAA batteries.

I have been very happy with DGX's house brand of hand held lights.

I was so happy with this one that I bought two more: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Sup...-26650-Torch-Underwater-100M/32808024523.html

I think the 5000 lumens is BS but it's very bright and rugged. Comes with Li-ion battery and charger (may have to get plug adapter).

the XHP70 is capable of 4000 lumen. If it's pulling 32w, you should get about half an hour burn time on a 26650

FWIW. Looks like it uses 2 26650's.
