Good for you. Night dives can be brilliant, and because it's dark you don't actually need much light. I've put in a link (ruclips.net/video/X_tm2dkc-As/видео.html) to a dive back in October where the torch was on only 300 lumens the whole time. Nobody gets blinded, the camera doesn't get washed out and everything is so atmospheric. I'm sure you'll love it!
I have a high lumen torch for primary and a half of that for secondary. Ended up using the secondary more in my dives, smaller and less brightness is more practical and easier on my eyes for night dives.
I'm literally doing my AOW night dive on Saturday! Your timing is insane :D

Good luck!!! 🐋
All great points; great Simply Scuba Mk1 torch you had there.
I have a Sherwood Torch. Has a High, Low and an Strobe function. Used it making deliveries at Christmas time.

I was hoping to see information on those 1950s-1960s-era underwater magnesium torches. Information on them is notoriously difficult to find.
"You don't need 2,000 lumens to see around...."
*Pushes 4,000 lumen primary, and 15,000 lumen video lights behind the couch*
I'm going on my first-night dive tomorrow and I'm so nervous 😣🥲
How did it go?
