I really love this light!

I have been diving since 1995 and I can honestly say I love the OrcaTorch D550 dive light! I have used and it is by far my favorite. It's durable, lightweight, unobtrusive (although not too small in the hand), very bright and very easy to use with a magnetic tail switch that's activated by pressing even when wearing gloves. .Advantages: + The anodized aluminum torch body is well finished and looks very high quality. + There is nothing mechanical inside the burner to fail as it is controlled by a semiconductor board mounted on the back of the unit. and is controlled by a magnetic push button switch that does not penetrate the dual O-ring compartment. + Powered by 1 x 18650 battery 2 batteries and charger included. + Long battery life - I have done multiple dives in one day/evening with this light, each lasting more than 1 hour without loss of brightness (even in temperatures as low as 40ยฐF / 5ยฐC). I have never turned off the light during a dive. + A powerful jet that cuts through dark and muddy water - we dive a lot in lakes and quarries where visibility is often very poor. This light cuts through the silt, greatly aiding underwater navigation. + Comes with a pair of extra O-rings. + Comes with a soft mount on the glove grip. + OrcaTorch even added a small latch to attach to the tail of the flashlight. ! - I can't think of anything I don't like about this light. The glove holder is easy to put on and take off. Although I was concerned that the torch might slip out, it didn't. But to mitigate this problem/possibility, I slipped a split stainless steel ring (key ring) over the small loop/tab of the glove mount and clipped the included latch (attached to the end of the lantern) to the ring. Works great, no worries about light fall off/loss and looks like it came from the factory. I love this light so much I bought a second one for myself and another for my wife. Recommend the OrcaTorch D550 to anyone considering buying a dive light. Excellent quality product at a good price compared to similar lights sold in dive shops.
