Review on Ikelite Gamma Mark II LED Underwater Dive Light by Terry Moore

Terrible light. I have an Ikelite Gamma which I bought as a gift last year but used for the first time on this trip in Cozumel (used twice on two night dives). It has been used so sparingly that I still have the original Panasonic batteries that came with it and it is stored in a Pelican case with the batteries removed. keep shaking it or tapping it in your palm until it turns on, or it turns on again but is weak (it was like half power). I had to stay close to my dive buddy as it was very dark. The second time I installed new batteries and encountered the same problem. We had to abort this dive. I think it's definitely a manufacturing defect related to the spring in the end cap not connecting properly. Sometimes it continues, fades out, half fades out or flickers. If I shake him, he may or may not come back. Using this flashlight does not inspire confidence in me! I sent the flashlight back to Ikelite who sent it back saying it was fixed. I just went to Cozumel on my annual vacation and the lights stopped working again. I am very very dissatisfied and unhappy that I paid over $100 for this horrible flashlight.
