Rating: Mini U-beam 5 LED Light
Reviewer: Russell Faraldi, Friday, June 26, 2009 - View all my reviews
An excellent backup for your main light. And its small enough to fit in any BCD pocket! Hard plastic resists breaks or cracks from abuse. And the twist tight on bezel is great to prevent accidental flooding.

Rating: Good backup
Reviewer: Christopher Bonhoff, Friday, June 19, 2009 
The light came free when I bought my primary light. Its a little small and not too powerful and I wouldnt make it my main light source. But what it does do, it does well. Good for a backup or to bring down to see the true color of the coral.

Rating: Surprisingly good backup light
Reviewer: Priyanta D., Saturday, June 13, 2009 - View all my reviews
I needed a small backup light that I could attach via a bolt clip to my harness. This light is perfectly sized to do this. It is an excellent small light to compliment the 32W canister light which is my primary.

Rating: Great companion light
Reviewer: Phil T., Saturday, December 06, 2008 
This mini-light is really useful. It can fit into a pocket or hang almost anywhere. The mini-light emits sufficient light to check an object or the area without handling the larger light and using up its valuable battery life. The mini-light accomplishes its purpose. Using the lanyard assures that the small light doesnt go tumbling into the depths. A great item to have.

Rating: well built
Reviewer: ELMER OCAMPO, Friday, November 21, 2008 - View all my reviews
This light is a well built flashlight. It is very durable and bright. But the twist on switch is a bit tight even after I applied some silicone grease. If you are lokking for a reliable back up light you better get the UK mini Q40 eled.

Rating: Mini U-Beam 5 L.E.D. Light - PASS
Reviewer: Bill Barnes, Saturday, November 08, 2008
I bought five of these lights with the "$7.00 off Mini U Beam offer" from scuba.com thinking I had a bargain. That made the price $5.99. I feel I was kind of ripped off. I tried unsuccessfully to give away two of them, but no one wound take them.
They do work. Instead of tightening the bezel to make the come on, you keep the bezel tightened down and loosen the bezel to make the light come on. Yes the light came on. It did put out light. It did not seem too bad. It just had a really cheap feeling to it. The light is only rated for 100 feet though.
They would be fine as a safety light in your car or truck.
They would work as a back up light, but it would not be your first choice.
I would pass.

Rating: Great Mighty-Mite
Reviewer: Darrell C or Judith A L., Sunday, November 09, 2008 - View all my reviews
This is a great little 4 1/2 inch LED flashlight that runs ons four alkaline triple AAA batteries. It will fit in even the smallest of hands and can be used both above and below the water up to 30 meters. It makes a great backup light for night diving and is easy to carry on day trips for peeking into those dark recesses in coral,

Rating: Nice little light, excellent value
Reviewer: Richard Sinclair II, Sunday, November 16, 2008
I havent used this diving yet, but it a nice sized little light, and will not be cumbersome when attached to a BCD. The five LEDs provide a good level of brightness. The Scuba.com sale price made this a value to good to pass up!

Rating: Suprema Mini U-Beam 5 L.E.D. Light
Reviewer: James T., Thursday, October 16, 2008 - View all my reviews
Great light. Very bright for area illumination (i.e., its a flood light, versus a spot light). The twist to turn on switch means it take two hands to turn on or off. A one-hand button would make it even better, but it is well worth the scuba.com price.

Rating: modest light
Reviewer: James M., Wednesday, October 01, 2008
Not a bad light and certainly ok for the price but I tried it on a recent dive and at 100 feet during a daytime dive in San Diego it didnt provide much light. Ive had numerous small lights that provide more illumination. Certainly ok as a backup nite light and small enough for anywhere non diving use. I have one in my car.
