I just saw this post over in the manufacturers section. The video is from Dan Wright diving the Tilley Foster mine.
In part of the video, he has the D630 on one hand and a UWLD 35 on the other hand and shines the beams side by side onto a surface. His buddy has a Halcyon Focus 2.0 and they compare that to the D630 as well.
Then he dives the D630 to 322' in the mine.
I was skeptical of this light. In particular, skeptical that it would be as bright as they claim and especially skeptical that the beam would really be tight. The Halcyon was focused as tight as it would go and it was definitely tighter than the other 2. But, it was not NEARLY as bright. The other 2 both seemed to pretty well overwhelm the Focus beam.
In the video, the D630 looks to me to be brighter and have a tighter beam than the UWLD. And Dan's burn test (in the Comments of the FB vid), he says his UWLD with Tall can burns 4 hours on High. The D630 went 6 hours, only dimming at the 3.5 hour mark.
The D630 looks like it might be a serious contender!
Thoughts or comments? @tbone1004?
