twist, button or hand held for DGX 600

So the twist version doesn’t offer the low or strobe setting. Just constant 1000lums?

The DGX 600 claims 600 lumens, not 1000. But lumen claims by manufacturers are all over the place. It's very bright.

The body button version has high/low/strobe. I bought them for my family. I have the old narrow beam tail button version, only on/off

Now I see that, I didn't look closely enough when ordering. I did put mine in a bucket of water the other day and got almost 2 hours of what I would call useful light. For the dives I'm doing now that's sufficient, especially considering my other back up light has a longer burn time.

I think that is another example of DGX being conservative/honest. The light is quite bright.

From the DGX website:
Offering 600 lumens and depth rated below 600 feet, the DGX 600 Handheld Light features a true out-the-front 600 system lumens (1100+ raw LED lumens) of cool white 6500°K light in a tight 8° beam

† Burn times with the supplied battery are a conservative estimate for technical diving use. Burn times can vary widely because we observe that most brands of lithium-ion 18650 batteries grossly over state their power rating claims.
