Wide Angle 200-300 Lumen Tropical Torch

[DiverEngineer]

Hi Everyone,

I am looking around for a good budget primary dive light for under or around $100.

I'll be using this dive light in clear tropical water and would prefer a wide or adjustable beam angle in the 200-300 lumen range so that I don't scare all the creatures away during my night dives.

I am leaning towards one of the following:

1. Big Blue CF250M 250 Lumens LED Light

2. Tovatec by Intova IFL WA ZOOM 300 Lumens Video Light/Flashlight

I am open to other brands but generally found good reviews on both of these.

Do you guys and gals have any suggestions?

take that light MBSUB X-1 VB with 3xC battery pack mb-sub.com: X1 - VB LED-flashlight

then mode it with CREE XP-G S2 auf Star-Platine by LED-TECH.de

or better Noctigon XP20 MCPCB & CREE XP-G2 R4 5A2 LED [Noctigon XP20 XP-G2 R4 5A2 LED] - $5.98 : Led Flashlight-International Outdoor Store ( 16 mm MCPCB star version is stil aveable but holes wouldnot fit )


test (without mod which is much much brighter )MB Sub X1-VB (3C) back up torch on test

Thanks for the suggestion Lucca, I do not want to spend more than $100 though. Sometimes perfect is the enemy of good enough.
