Question looking for a compact 800+ lumen dive light.

The turbo doesn’t do much for sure, it does seem the increase battery drain but I never use any light on the highest setting, usually jump straight to medium, I guess if I suddenly need more light the nice thing about the 710 is holding down the button will give me that momentary burst.

I have the D710, the turbo mode is virtually useless and is nowhere close to 3000 lumens. The battery lasts about a minute in turbo mode so no point staying on the button more than a few seconds.

So i have a primary dive light the bigblue VTL5000P looking to invest in a secondary dive light, and one that i could use for daytime (looking inside wrecks, under rocks) but i don't want to carry my primary as it's big and heavy.

I'm looking for something that has at least 800 lumens, spot beam, and has a compact form, budget 250$.
I've been looking at the orcatorch d520, bigblue AL1300NP, and the divepro s10.

Dive gears express sells house brand dive lights on the cheap. With 250 to spend you can buy 3 or 4. I have two of their lights and they work just fine.

Aloha,

The Tillytec with the 1400-3000-5 LED is a nice light. It's not 1400 lumens, I've been told more like 800-900 lumens.

I use their mini with the 2000-30000-10 LED module, super robust and very bright.

Ability to swap out LED modules is awesome.
