Cant go wrong with the dgx lights

We like our Kraken lights. My partner uses the NR-1500Z (now replaced by NR-1800Z) and I use a Hydra 1500 WSR as my camera rig aiming light on night dives. If you want more power they also have options at 2500 lumens and greater, but I've found the 1500 is adequate for warm/clear water.

Good quality lights, solid builds, and easy to charge lithium batteries with USBC ports in the batteries.

I have a Diverite CX3 and BX2, and Orcatorch DC710 and D570GL.

The BX2, DC710 and D570 are all similar in brightness and spread (ignoring the DC710's gimmicky turbo mode, that requires a button to be held down). The CX3 is a bit brighter, but not hugely so.

Of these, I would recommend the CX3 for two reasons: Diverite torches are extremely robust, and it has external, waterproof charging. I find what kills torches in the long run is having to take the battery out to charge/expose a charging port: one day the O rings will fail to seal when reassembled. I have quite a collection of dead torches.

Cheers

I have a 7000 lumen skywoods with external magnetic charging, can I seal it with silicon sealant instead of silicone grease?
