Hi. I am looking for two new dive torches.
I travel a lot with my equipment so weight is a consideration.
1. A dive torch to use for night/ wreck diving
2. a UV dive torch :)
Any advice on brand or specific torches you have used and like would be appreciated.
I live in South Africa, so things are fairly pricey here but I can perhaps get one in Malaysia in a couple of months time.
Thanks in advance
 
The Xtar D26 is my current favorite dive light. Push button on/off. Very bright. Multiple brightness levels. LED battery status indicator. Use 1 battery, so not too long or too fat. Uses a 26650 or 18650 battery. With a good 26650, easily lasts 2 whole dives on High. Tripod thread screw hole on the bottom for mounting options. I use mine with a GoPro tripod adapter, mounted on the back of my hand using a glove that is made to hold a GoPro on the back of your hand.

They're USD$63 on eBay.

I have no experience with UV lights.
