  Hybrid functional calculations are presented for defects in LiGaO$_2$ with
the fraction of non-local exchange adjusted to reproduce the recently reported
exciton gap of 6.0 eV. We study how the defect transition levels of the main
native defects change with respect to the band edges compared to earlier
calculations which assumed a smaller band gap near 5.1 eV. In addition, we
consider defect complexes formed by combining the main native donor
Ga$_\mathrm{Li}$ with the main acceptors, $V_\mathrm{Li}$ and Li$_\mathrm{Ga}$
antisites as function of their relative position. These results are used to
tentatively identify the photoluminescence bands previous assigned to
donor-acceptor-pair recombination.
