Looking for small light to keep in BC pocket

[BRsnow]

Hi, I am looking for suggestions for a small light to keep in my BC pocket on all dives. These will be warm waters ocean dives. I had a diver kick up a bunch of silt on a swim through last trip and realized have a light at all times is a good idea. I have a UK mini Q40 eLED light that is just a touch too long to fit in the pocket. I would something with similar brightness though. Thanks for any help....BR

A couple that shold fit the bill:

PCA Light reviews and discounts, Ikelite

and

Princeton Tec Amp 1.0 Dive Light reviews and discounts, Princeton Tec

The PCA should definitely fit the bill, but no matter which you choose, be sue to put a snap on it that you can secure it inside your pocket. Sucks to lose them!

I second the Ikelite endorsement. It's perfect for peering under ledges and other dark crannies during the day. I like mine so much I often times use it as my primary on a night dive.

You could just clip the Q40 to your bc, but f you really want to fit a light in your pocket you could get this light. The hotspot looks really bright for daylight diving and there's a nice halo for night diving and the price is great.

Agreed. Pretty perfect... but fairly unavailable at the moment.

I was just at my LDS and they are having their annual sale and drawing giveaway. I wanted to win a trip but instead won an Ikelite PCm LED lite. Smaller then the PCa and it seems like a nice light especially when free. :-)

OMS K2 Vega I have one of the K2's and one of the older K1's. I carry the K2 on all my dives now. It's a backup when I got my canister light on otherwise I use it as a primary.

Brightest light for it's size. Brighter then many primary lights. Uses CR123 batteries which can be expensive if bought at local stores. Buy them online for a quarter of the cost in stores. I have some other lights that uses these batteries so it not a problem for me.

Should have jumped on it right away my friend Amazing how quickly the sold out! I hope they don't realize how cheaply priced it is and bump it up $$$
