    Favorite Handheld Light Under ~$600

    Did you notice a big difference in light output between the DGX 800 and your LX20+?

    Favorite Handheld Light Under ~$600

    Thank you for all the information, that is really useful, and the progression you did from the LX20+ to a cannister light makes a lot of sense. I am just a baby Full Cave Diver, so I think a cannister light is a little way down the list for me after a new dry suit, gas analyzer, stage regs...

    Favorite Handheld Light Under ~$600

    This is my DGX 800 mounted in a hard Goodman handle setup. I used the clip from DGX and a generic handle. I just had to buy different screws with a flatter head. The two issues were it getting knocked out of the clip when I hit it against the rocks (happened once on each dive). The other...

    Favorite Handheld Light Under ~$600

    It's funny you say this, because I have thought the same thing since I first bought a DGX 800. I know they are looked at more as a backup, but to me they seem super bright, and I am very happy with how much they light up the cave. A couple of problems I have had are the length makes it a little...

    Favorite Handheld Light Under ~$600

    Agreed on needing punch. I did my first post Full Cave dives the other day, using a DGX 800 as my primary, and it was just lost inside the beam of my buddy's Big Blue 3800. Multiple times he couldn't see me signalling because mine wasn't strong enough. It was plenty bright enough for me to see...

    Thanks for that comparison, that was super helpful. My instructor made fun of me during training, but like I said I have happily used a DGX 600 for the last year (Intro dives & Full Cave class). It seemed super bright to me (except against my buddies lights!) It is interesting how we get used...

    @boriss thanks for the link to the other thread with the pictures. I wonder if the LX20+ will fit in the DGX soft hand mount like the CX2 does? I used a DGX 600 in their soft hand mount and loved it. I tried a DGX 800 in the same setup but it was too long and kept hitting my wrist when I flexed...

    Favorite Handheld Light Under ~$600

    Thanks for the feedback and review. I must have read a dozen threads on the light and they all seem to be solid. I think my only concern was how it felt on the hand as I have not used a light that big before in a hand mount. I remember you said you had the DGX 800 light. Do you notice a...

    Favorite Handheld Light Under ~$600

    Did you ever take pictures of your LX20+ against your DGX 800s? I am in the same position you were trying to decide on my first serious primary light, having used DGX 600 and 800s up to this point. They did me well for my Cave training but I am very aware I now need something brighter for a...

    Signature 2nd Stage whistling sound

    What on the first stage would cause the 2nd stage to whistle? I have used a different second stage on the first stage without the same issue.

    Signature 2nd Stage whistling sound

    I tried calling and through their website message page but haven't heard anything back yet. I just thought I would ask on here. I agree their customer service is great! (Before I bought the regs Landon spoke to me on the phone for almost an hour telling me about the regs and their company. He...

    Signature 2nd Stage whistling sound

    I recently bought two D6 Signature second stages to go with two D6 first stages I already had. They work great and breath amazing, but one of them is making a metallic whistling sound when inhaling underwater (not on land). I played with the adjustment and the pre-dive switch while breathing...
