Review on ๐Ÿ”ฆ ORCATORCH D550 Scuba Dive Light, 1000 Lumens Waterproof Diving Flashlight, IPX-8 Night Dive Torch 150 Meters Submersible Light with 2Pcs 18650 Battery and Charger by Dave Albright

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Focused beam, full accessory kit, high performance technical/recreational backup main light.

Full accessory kit included - carry case (ideal for travel), charger, wrist strap, small buckle, 3 spare O-rings, 2 rechargeable 18650 rechargeable batteries, as well as a soft grip to hold keep the flashlight in the holster and still be able to use your hand. The lantern itself is of good design, double o-ring for watertight seal, brass battery compartment inner wall for better current conduction, plus well-made handle. The beam is very focused and easily cuts through the silt at my local quarry. The switch works very easily and I like the magnetic switch better than the titanium switch on the D530 which requires more pressure to actuate. Burn time is around an hour on maximum settings, although I haven't tested how long it lasts on low settings, it will certainly be longer. If I have to be fussy, I would replace the small bolt latch with a larger one if wet/dry gloves are required for diving. The small clasp is difficult to open and close when wearing gloves. If a hand grip is used, pressing the on/off button may cause the flashlight to slide forward through the mount, potentially resulting in loss of the flashlight. This can easily be secured with a zip tie attaching the end of the flashlight to the loop on the handle (as shown in the picture). All in all a great dive light with all accessories. The light output is excellent for such a small package. Highly recommended!

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Only available in black
