Review on πŸ”¦ Odepro WD43 PRO Diving Flashlight: Powerful 1050 Lumens, Waterproof up to 200M with Magnetic Switch - Perfect Scuba Diving Torch in Four Modes and Underwater Underlight - Includes Durable Tool Box Package by Will Powers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A real watertight flashlight up to a depth of 200m is the predicate of my Submariner watches. Additional battery too.

This is an impressive flashlight in a very compact, travel-friendly design. I was a diver many years ago and was impressed with the attention to detail they put into keeping it watertight. The first feature is a separate charger, this is a dual function. First, it eliminates the need to connect the charging port to the flashlight itself. Many do this by using a rubber stopper to keep moisture out. Suitable for rain, but may leak or accidentally detach in deep water. The second feature is that since the kit includes two batteries and an external charger, you can charge one and use the other effectively, allowing you to use the flashlight more often. Next into the magnetic switch, since water cannot penetrate the magnetic coupling as it would with a mechanical switch. Finally, where it screws in to change the battery, there's an O-ring that screws in tight when screwed back in. The kit also includes some extras in case you lose or wear it out. Sturdy metal body and beautifully bright LED bulb that lasts for a ridiculous number of hours of use. Operation toggles between three intensity levels and then turns off. When it is on, holding it for 2-3 seconds will trigger alarm or warning strobe mode. Other accessories include a strap and some sort of device that can be attached to the hand and otherwise held freely. The charging station also has several features. It can be used with a round power input, but the micro USB input is used on the side. It only includes the micro cable that is most commonly used. The battery holder is spring-loaded, and even before you plug in the charging cable, you can check the charge level by pressing the button on the side and seeing how many green LEDs light up. highlighted.
