I have one and works ok, but if the day is too bright, it won't do much to see well, you have to get really close to the rocks and by then, the fish saw me and hid. If the day is starting to get dark then it works amazingly well. I can't remember for the life of my how many LMs it is.. Maybe 300?

Orca small 300lm attaches to mask strap for re-rigging at night really helps a lot

They're really well priced! For that power I was expecting more expensive, thanks!
 
l love my big blue dive lights. I use a wide-angle and a narrow-angle on my left hand when I dive at night and it's amazing. I bring the narrow one during the day sometimes for wrecks or caves. I highly recommend their 1200 series.

I use Yupard diving torch maybe a 3000 lumens and it is so bright and good.
A little heavy in water but a very bright especially for night dive
