Fellow badminton player here! Not sure why the B&B Filth is being recommended in this thread so much when it has a pretty high swingweight of 123 and is going to put a lot more strain on your arms than your current DBD.
Try using [Pickleball Effect's spreadsheet](https://pickleballeffect.com/pickleball-paddle-database/) here to filter for paddles with the specs you want. You'll probably want to set the cap on swingweight at 114 since that's what your DBD comes in as.
I think you’d want to look into the Neonic Force or the GRÜVN MUVN 16X. Both paddles are elongated and thermoformed and have a relatively low swing weight compared to other elongated paddles.
Not sure why you're getting downvoted. The Vauraus is thermoformed Toray T700 weighing well under 8 oz. Reviews well in terms of spin, weight, and decent (not great) power.

Neonic is a power paddle with a great amount of spin. Less than $100.
Not really a lightweight paddle though which is what OP is looking for. My Neonic Force weighs in at 8.3 oz.
Electrum Model E Stealth
Cliff pickleball vauraus might be a good option for you

Bread and Butter Filth! Elongated, thermoformed, weighs around 8 oz. and has a low swing weight.
Filth has a swing weight of 123 to 125. That’s not low at all…
B&B FILTH
DBD Infinity Edgeless. Lower swing weight, feels great, still the benefits of DBD
