A question for Europeans about EU light brands

[sinidive]

Hi, just some of my notes. Was looking at various options available easily in EU with a narrow beam, modern led and a classic canister design (things starting with a plus are promising, minus not so promising for my arbitrary requirements). Might contain errors.

-Anchror Divelights - DOOLIN+ missing specs...
-Ammonite LED Nautilus 9-45°
+Ammonite Solaris NextGEN 6º 50W ~500
+Ammonite LED SPELEO MARK II 6º 32W ~350
-Artek® Megalodon Mk2 old tech
-BigBlue+ (only 10° beam)
-DiveTime 9° old battery tech
+Gralmarine LED 18W 6° ~330eur
+Gralmarine 3XML-2 55W 6° ~400eur
-Gralmarine GL 7 LED+ 16°
-Gralmarine LED 14 DUO
-Greenforce+ Old tech
-Halcyon Focus 2.0 (adjustable)
-Halcyon Flare 10W ?º old tech, expensive
-Kowalski - nothing interesting
-NaNight Tech Head 10°
+NaNight C3 5°
+Orcatorch D630 v2 7° 4000lm
+ Some halo/spillage from the beam :(
-Orcatorch D620 v2 14° 2700lm
-Scaleo+ (only combi lights with video stuff)
-Scuba Force Bright Light 8º
+Scubamafia XM3 E/O 7° 35W
+Scubamafia G3 E/0 6° 18W
-Scubamafia EP12 E/O video
-Scurion+ weird design...
-SeeYa LED 70W SPOT 10º
+SeeYa LED 30W NARROW 6º 30W
-SeeYa LED 32W ZOOM
-SeeYa LED 19W ZOOM
+Shark Artemis 5º 32W(?)
-Thor Tauri 7º 23W
-Thor Tauri Pro 7º 23W
Pro: piezo button for brightness on the lighthead
-Thor Vario
-Thor Tyra ProX+ (cordless)
+Thor Tyra 5º 23W ~500eur
+Thor Tyra Pro 5º 23W ~580eur
Pro: piezo button for brightness on the lighthead
-Yellow Diving (all >=10°)

-NaNight C3 10°

correction: Nanight claims 5° spot for the C3. The light head is bigger than on the other ones. Their Tech and Sport lights have 10° according to specs.

Greenforce seems to be gone, piranha was selling off some parts recently.
I just sent a bunch of their stuff to the landfill.

With good quality lights from Orca and Nitescuba available for such low prices I don’t see the point of overpaying for lights.

Thank you, updated my own notes about NaNight C3, 5-degrees is the right thing, that makes it quite interesting! Just a tiny bit more expensive than Orca 630 inside EU.

Looking at specs it has a Cree XHP70.2 LED which means roughly 28W and 4000lumens.

Comparing to Orcatorch 630 - Orca's numbers are weird.
5x CREE leds (which?), "89Wh battery", "5 hours long runtime at brightest mode", so perhaps 18W? But still claiming 4000lm?

Had Nanight Tech 2, really liked it. External charging port is great.
Now use Gralmarine 3XML-2, built quality is really good, spot is tighter than on Tech 2.
There is also another Swedish company that makes these: Shark Artemis Primary Light

From digging around, I am getting an impression that gralmarine is one of the better brands

What kind of a light technical or recreative ?

Nanight is IMO central column to wide , mostly used on 25-50% , modified on top

I just bought ( just because I get it really cheap ) Oceanex and i really like test tube style lamps . It is quality work .

IMO more than 2500lm if you not an photograph or illuminating wide caves you do not need .

Add Diving Torches (italian company) to the list.
