I know it's pushing your buget a bit but you can't go far wrong with a Salvo from NikNaks...start at £45.

Out of fashon these days but the Q40 is a great little torch. I use the MiniQ and it puts a lot of more expensive torches to shame.

Look on the recent back up lights thread there is some good info on there.

£30 for a backup light is limiting your options somewhat... Mini Q40 LED comes in at under 40 quid + p&p and the Frogman is around that money as well.

Personally I wouldn't want to compromise on a backup light on the basis that when you need it you need it for a reason. If you knew you would never need it you wouldn't have bought it in the 1st place. The main Heser, Photon and Salvo back/up lights come in at around £70 - £110 these are the ones that I trust will work when the poo hits the twirly thing.

If you are going to the dive show, you should be able to pick up a Tektite Expedition Star for not much more than your budget.

Cracking torches.
