And go !!

I get about an hour out of my DGX 600 and 800. That's with the batteries they came with. I understand there are better batteries out there that give significantly longer burn times. At your budget, you could get 2 or 3. I'm not crazy about the twist on and off and only one setting. The lights are very well built and double or triple o ring sealed. Definately quality built.

On my last night dive, I easily had two of the better lights on the boat.

Good luck, safe travels.

the DGX lights are probably the 'best" in terms if bang for buck, but I'm not a fan of twist ons that only have one light setting. There are electronics in all LED's so you can't get away from them and if you can't get away from them, you may as well have one that has multiple light settings so you can increase the burn time if you have to, reduce silt, strobe for an emergency, etc.

I'm very happy with these *no battery or charger btw* and the push button on the back is super nice.

I've just bought a pair of these as well for strap mounting and am quite happy with them.

For that price point I prefer the Big Blue. Reliable, Bright and rechargeable batteries.

Got some lights from Aliexpress. All metal and the exactly same as Tecline and other brands for half the price.

I have two of these for tech diving. Very nice products and not too expensive. Just attach a bolt snap and carry on the webbing strap.

Very good quality.

I liked their DGXMAX because of the mag switch ring and use mine as a primary but it has been discontinued. I had one and saw several others have problems with the switch so I suspect that is why it was discontinued. I inquired with DGX about them and was informed that they are testing a replacement with a more robust push button switch and hope to have it available in several months. I plan on putting one on my Xmas list.

I've been a pretty big fan of the DRIS 3C cell 1000 lumen backup and own 3 of them. It's bright enough to use as a primary (I have) and is reliable. The only minor complaints I've had is they are a bit on the long side of what else is out there. A 2 C cell size would be ideal for me.
