From the link in this other post, 9 is an odd number you must need at 1 or 3 moreLex,
Where did you order it from? I can only find DL08 on Amazon. I don’t know if I want to order one after my prior negative experience with the brand but it is temptingBecause 9 lights is just not enough…
Mine has arrived, no armed tariff cops. It included a “key chain” light as a gift, also rechargeable with a magnet on the back and a kick stand, it will come in handy in a power failure I think.
Now the dive light
Common stuff, lanyard, charging cable, spare o rings
Unscrew the tail to remove the battery or in the middle to access the charging port to charge the battery in place.
It’s a nice compact size and there are times where the pointer light can be handy, like moving it around in your buddy’s field of view
Once it’s fully charged I’ll do a sink burn test to get a run time guesstimate.

Did some sink testing, on hi it turned itself off between 30 and 45 minutes I recharged it and ran it on medium and it went 3 hours before the indicator showed red, light brightness didn’t seem diminished and I ended the test.
It look like, so far, it will serve as a nice every dive light, the laser could be handy pointing things out and the regular beam is well defined with a good center spot and decent spill
This is it, on top with the DGX 8°
The Orca D710
The DR CX3
And side by side size comparison
Seems to be a decent compact light, ocean testing in a few weeks, at present I got it for just under $55 and no tariff added.

Yep, we didn't know scubaboard community until March. We are not good at promotion like other brands, which leads to a lot of negative experience from people. But we are always trying to improve always.I don’t know if I want to order one after my prior negative experience with the brand but it is tempting

What do you mean by negative experience? Bit wondering about this comment... Marketing should people get to buy your product. Without it, they cannot make any experience.
So you have customers who are not satisfied? What does that have to do with marketing?
Likely something lost in translation

In my opinion. Buy product only means sell. The marketing should also include conversation, after sale service, customer survey, advice feedback, product upgrade. Just like me right now.
I received mine as well and wanted to share a few beamshot comparisons. I stood approximately 5 meters away from the wall and used manual mode on the camera to ensure consistent brightness across all shots.
The first picture shows a TillyTec MaxiUni with a 5° module as a reference:
Next up is the DL03 in Low → Mid → High → Turbo:
As you can see, the DL03 has noticeably more spill compared to my TillyTec, which could result in backscatter in poor visibility, especially in Turbo mode. However, it's a significant improvement over my Wurkkos DL40, which is practically unusable in murky water. I will show you some pictures in the next post.
I also took the DL03 on its first dive (unfortunately I wasn’t able to take any pictures underwater yet — but I’ll capture some on my next dive). The torch performed quite well. Visibility was poor, but I only went down to 12 meters, so there was still plenty of ambient daylight and the backscatter was not really noticeable. Handling with dry gloves was decent, though not perfect — the rotary switch isn’t ideal for use with thick gloves, but I was still able to operate it.
In the next few days, I’ll measure the lux output.
