Review on ๐Ÿ”ฆ ORCATORCH D550 Dive Light: 1000 Lumens Scuba Dive Torch with 3400mAh Battery and Accessories by Kristopher Tight

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money

My impression so far has been an excellent light. It arrived in a nice little storage box with a glove, strap, charger and two batteries. I couldn't dive right away so I decided to turn it up and throw it in a bucket of water; It took about 2.5 hours for the lights to go out. I've been diving with it ever since and it works flawlessly. I have an 800 lumen dive light that costs about three times as much as this one and the D550 is much brighter. The beam is fairly narrow, which is fine with me, but if you try to use it for a photo or video you might find that it's actually too bright for that purpose. I really like that it has a button on the end instead of having a spin function; I need my hands free to operate the camera and pull the diver flag, so having a glove mount and being able to operate the light with one hand is important. When you put the flashlight into the glove mount on land it seems like a tight fit, but of course you should use common sense and use the strap to attach the flashlight to the glove. I like to use a cord with a snap on the end so I can easily remove the flashlight from my glove.

Pros
  • Easy to install
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
