Offering 600 lumens and depth rated below { 328 ft | 100 m }, the DGX 600 Button VIDEO Handheld Light features a true out-the-front 600 system lumens (1100+ raw LED lumens) of cool white 6500°K light in a no-hot-spot 120° beam perfect for use with underwater video.
This version is multi-function and offers a HIGH and LOW power and a safety STROBE setting. Push the button on the light head portion for HIGH - LOW output activation. Push and HOLD down the button for a full second when in either light mode for the STROBE activation. Once the strobe is activated then another push will revert back to normal light function. The area around the button feature is illuminated and will give an approximate battery life remaining notification with color changes (Green is charged while or Red means battery life is nearly exhausted). Using the supplied lithium-ion 18650 rechargeable battery, this compact light has a burn time of about 60 minutes †. According to CREE, the DGX 600 has one of the highest performing single-die LEDs that is commercially available, the XLamp XM-L2 U2 LED. Considering the Dive Gear Express price, durability and light output the DGX 600 represents an excellent value!
Incorporating an optical quality glass diffusing lens with a triple o-ring seal between the head and body, the light is IP68 rated to { 328 ft | 100 m }. The switch design is push button ON/OFF at the head; unscrew the head completely from the body to load the battery. We designed this light with very tight tolerances to ensure the extreme depth rating so you will notice the activation does take effort. 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 DGX 600 can also be used briefly as a dry flashlight on the surface. Use the TTI-1004 Generic Mounting Bracket (Small) for helmet mounting this light. The anodized aircraft aluminum body measures { 5.5 x 1.6 x 1.4 in | 135 x 40 x 35 mm } (length x head diameter x tube diameter) with a dry weight of { 8.8 oz | 249 gm } including the battery.
In The Box -- The DGX 600 VIDEO light head and triple O-ring seal body with three O-rings pre-installed on the body, plus a lanyard and a set of three spare O-rings. The package also includes a lithium-ion 18650 protected 3.7V battery and 110/220V 50/60Hz mains charger with US flat blade on the charger - an EU round mains plug adapter is available separately.
There isn't a manual, however there is not much to know. To load battery, unscrew the head from the body until the two pieces separate and then, while looking away from the light head itself, insert the battery in to the body, negative end first such that the positive end will be pointing toward the light head. While looking away from the light head simply hold the head and screw the body clockwise back together all the way until it stops. With the button style, the light will activate as soon as the head is completely screwed on. This ensures your light is working properly. To turn off (or back on) simply press the button on the head. One press will offer the HIGH power setting, a second press of the button will offer the LOW setting while a press and HOLD in either HIGH or LOW mode will activate the emergency STROBE feature.
Maintain the O-rings - If the O-rings look completely dry, leave them in place but smear a very small amount of silicone lubricant on the part of the O-ring surface you can see. If the O-rings start looking flat from wear, then replace them with the included spares. Do not store the light for extended periods with the battery remaining inside the body.
The DGX light includes a generic battery and charger, but any good quality protected-type 18650 battery and charger is suitable. They all pretty much work the same way and are interchangeable. Some batteries ship with a small adhesive cover on the end, if so remove and discard. Place the battery in the charger, matching the positive and negative indications on the sides of the battery to the same indications on the charger, and then plug in the charger. If the battery is properly positioned in the charger, a red light will illuminate and then some time later change color to green when done. Charging time varies considerably depending on the pre-existing charge level of the battery, typically 2 to 3 hours but can be as long as 4 to 6 hours for a depleted battery, and it's normal for batteries to get warm while charging. Best practice is never leave charging unattended then once the light turns green, unplug the charger and remove the battery.
† Burn times with the supplied battery are a conservative estimate for technical diving use. Burn times can vary widely because we observe that most brands of lithium-ion 18650 batteries grossly over state their power rating claims.

- The DGX 300 Mini Light features a true out-the-front 300 system lumens (600+ raw LED lumens) with 30 minute burn time using a rechargeable 14500 battery. Using a quality AA size disposable alkaline battery you will get about double the burn time with half the lumens.
- 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 600 Button model is also available in a VIDEO version that features a diffused no-hot-spot 120° beam perfect for use with underwater video, but is otherwise identical to the tight 8° beam version.
- 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 has a longer body incorporating two batteries means the increased power of the DGX 800 is 30% brighter with 50% longer burn time.
The DGX 600 is available in your choice of BUTTON or TWIST style activation. The choice between twist-on or button-on styles is mostly a matter of personal preference, although the TWIST version has a ultra deep depth rating. If you are mounting the light, we recommend the BUTTON style. If the light is being carried as a handheld backup to a primary, we recommend the TWIST on style.
Various LED dive light suppliers use different methods of determining light output, plus expressing them in different forms of measurement. What matters is the visible light from the LED that bounces off the reflector and passes through the lens. The quality of the reflector and lens, as well as the actual amount of power delivered by the battery have a major affect on the amount of light that reaches the target. Dive lights would be better described by the system lumens (sometimes called out-the-front or OTF lumens), which is the amount of visible light emitted by the entire system of battery, bulb, reflector and lens. Describing any LED dive light in terms of the radiant lumens specification of the entire light output for a raw LED module (including IR and UV wavelengths we can't see) at maximum power under laboratory conditions can be very misleading. Unfortunately we have to mention the radiant lumens value because most other dive light suppliers use only the bigger number to inflate their descriptions.
The DGX800 light 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.
