Dive Light manufacturers send me the best dive lights for review regularly. However, most of them are not really suitable for GUE-style diving. Even bigger brands like Orcatorch produce dive lights with knobs and switches, which I don't like for cave diving or technical diving. Now, I got my hands on a scuba dive light from Securitying. I had never heard of them before, but the dive light convinced me with its brilliant simplicity. You could use it as a backup dive light for cave diving, technical diving, or even as a primary light for easy recreational diving. In my opinion, this is one of THE dive lights 2022!

I bet all other backup lights (maybe except Heser) come from the same Chinese manufacturer 😄

Great review. I bought two as BORUiT XM-L2 LED for 39€ and use them as backups for about a year in cave dives. I like the robustness and simplicity. No knobs etc as you said.

Yes, knobs are just annoying 😄😄

I think I’m using the same backup light since 2018. I think it sold with a lot different of names. I bought one in 2018 (30 euro AliExpress) and I did >100 tech dives and also cave dives. I did also use it at a 3 hours dive at felicitas when my primary light had a failure. I did like this light more then the heser. Burn time is shorter then my heser, but much more light with 26650 batteries. Brenda de Vries is also using one and I think she did use one at 100 meter or even deeper.

Personally I like the attachment with a line more then directly attached to the bolt snap with some kind of ring or something, because in case of a emergency the line can easily get cut through.

Yes I do the same. Metal-to-Metal-connections are not recommendable

HI Doktor Ben, I went out and got one. Very similar except it didn't come with the tube for 18650 batteries, so I have to use size C battery (3 pcs). Very very bright for the price that is under $50.
@DoktorBEN
@DoktorBEN Год назад
You might even make a tube yourself! Doesn’t seem too complicated
@meandtina
@meandtina Год назад
@@DoktorBEN Update on the light, the batteries are 26650, not 18650. 2 pcs. of 26650 batteries for the handheld backup light, and 3 pcs. for canister light. Pretty decent performance.

Does the attach point for the rope has a smooth surface? It looks like it has sharp angles, that could damage the boltsnap attachment.

You talk about 18650 LiFePO4 battery which gives both nominal 6,4 V but you have in hand LiOn baterry which gives 7,4V . because of different chemistry. If I chose I would take orcatorch orcad 520D it cost little more than 50$ but still in range. These backups made front heavy . IMO mixing LED as light and alkalines is equal as using electric car with Pb bateries ..it works but it is pointless . More important is battery self - discharging time

This is GUE standard of using alkaline batteries coming from early 2000's when rechargeable batteries were Ni-Mn and had poor reliability and charge holding time. GUE did not update this standard with advantages of technology making it cult-like item, same for any "H" branded items. Here DrBen would be better source of information. I like the versatility of this light accepting variety of cells and voltages (similar to Shearwater computers).
@DoktorBEN
@DoktorBEN Год назад
GUE keeps the standard for very good reasons, despite batteries have largely improved. Still, I like that this light is flexible!
