I've decided that a canister light would suit my needs best and have narrowed it down to Underwater Light Dude's LD-15 and LD-26. I've done a fair bit of research (including Light Monkey, Halcyon, Hollis, Dusty's, etc), and while the UWLD lights are nothing less than a substantial investment and well exceed my current recreational diving requirements, they seem like the most thoughtfully designed and supported lights out there.
My questions are: for the specific conditions that we have in Puget Sound, how appreciable do you all think the difference in light (at max 2600 lumens with ~8° beam vs 1500 lumens with 6° beam) will be? Given the choice between the two ,ignoring price, which would you choose to dive here and why?
Thanks for any advice or information y'all have to share
