What would be a very high value (i.e., cheap....) focus light? The idea would be to mount it on top of a Nauticam housing for the rx100ii.

Look at the FantaSea Nano focus light. About $60.
Try a Laluz 1000 lumen focus light....EBAY.

I used to use the fantasea nano on my old setup. Worked well for me. But then I flooded it.
I seem recall that it didn't have an on/off switch - rather you had to rotate the head. I think I flooded it by doing it carelessly - turned it the wrong way underwater. (I guess I still managed to turn it off by flooding it).
Value wise I think it was great. Just be careful (or don't turn it on/off underwater!)

All focus lights with screw switch eventually flood
Good value I would say bigblue AFO type

I have a BigBlue AFO focus light that I don't use anymore - perfect condition (only about 15 dives on it) - as I upgraded to a Sola Photo 800 (not cheap). I used it with my RX100.
$125 includes shipping, 6 AAA eneloop batteries (light uses 3 at a time), cold-shoe mount, clamp, & focus light. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.
Thx,

I love my sola 800 photo, but the new
Gobe from light and motion is also a contender.
The key to me was having lots and lots of light in a great spill pattern with decent run time and the option to switch from white to red on the fly. Hundreds of dives later Id buy the sola again in a heartbeat

How useful is AFO (or similar) for a focus light?
Very useful when shooting in low visibility with suspended particles. Sometimes even if the light is not strong enough to expose the picture when you blast it at full power you do manage to get backscatter from it so auto off can be useful
