Each diver should have a primary light. Do they need to be equal strength? Probably not, but they should each should be bright enough to be considered a primary.

That said, during lobster season, we mainly used what most people would consider back up lights because we wanted our hands free. It worked for us, but I wouldn't recommend it for others.

Really, in a recreational OW environment, it comes down to comfort level. If you're comfortable with seeing less around you, then maybe a primary and a secondary light is good enough for a buddy team. In an overhead environment, definately not.
