To determine your handmount size, measure your hand as shown in the image. If you usually are wearing gloves while diving, then you should measure while wearing gloves as well. If the measurement is { 4.5 in | 11.4 cm } or less, the SM/MD size is the best fit for average sized hands or hands with light gloves. If the measurement is greater than { 4.5 in | 11.4 cm } the LG/XL size is the best fit for very large hands or hands with heavy glove.

Today, the main operational difference between a modern handheld backup and primary canister light is the burn time. With advancements in LED and battery technologies, divers are beginning to forego the traditional rechargeable battery canister with corded light head primary plus alkaline battery handheld backups in favor of three modern handhelds that can each serve as primary. The multiple handheld primary approach is much lower cost with better reliability and redundancy.
Dive Gear Express has created a bundle of our best selling five-star DGX series handheld lights plus accessories that can replace your old canister light for a fraction of the price, yet offer more burn time, more lumens and more flexibility than previous generation can lights.
- The DGX 600 Handheld Light features a true out-the-front 600 system lumens (1100+ raw LED lumens) with 60 minute burn time using a rechargeable 18650 battery.
- The DGX 800 Handheld Light features a true out-the-front 800 system lumens (1100+ raw LED lumens) with 90 minute burn time using two rechargeable 18650 batteries.
- The DGX 800 with a longer body incorporating two batteries means the increased power of the DGX 800 is 30% brighter with 50% longer burn time.
- The DGX 800, DGX 600 Twist and Button lights feature a tight 8° beam preferred by technical divers.
- The DGX 600 Video light features a no-hot-spot 120° beam in cool white 6500°K light perfect for use with underwater video.
According to CREE, these lights have one of the highest performing single-die LEDs that is commercially available, the XLamp XM-L2 U2 LED. Incorporating an optical quality glass lens with a triple o-ring seal between the head and body, the lights are IP68 rated to { 328 ft | 100 m }. The tail has a sturdy rear tie-point for a bolt snap or use the included lanyard. The light has an electronic circuit to maintain constant light output as long as possible and provides reverse polarity & over temperature protection; meaning the light can also be used as a dry flashlight on the surface. We are not exaggerating when we say these handheld lights throw more punch than many of the previous generation of canister primary lights in the water today. Considering the Dive Gear Express price, durability and light output the package represents an excellent value.
The DGX800 light head has a driver working voltage from 3.0V to 13.0V, and thus is suitable for use with its two battery body. Our DGX600 series light heads have a working voltage on the LED driver of 3.0V to 4.2V, suitable for their one battery body. Although they look similar and will fit together mechanically, the DGX600 light head must NOT swapped on to a two battery body. If you mount a DGX600 light head on a two battery body, the electronics in the DGX600 head may burn out and then light will no longer come on.
