Rating: Shockwave LED, great light.
Reviewer: Steve B.,  - View all my reviews
I purchased this light knowing full well the spotty reviews it has received on the switch. I thought I would take a chance on it as the price was right. Upon receiving the light I was impressed with the quality. The first dive with the light was in very poor visibility (5-10 at times) and depth of 80. This light worked like a charm. To be honest, I dont know what the fuss is about the switch. Once I became familiar with its operation, there were no issues. It works great. I have about six dives with the light now (including a night dive) and no issues. I recommend this light.

Rating: Genuine Fish Burner !
Reviewer: Robert M D.,
Out of the box, 2 night dives in Roatan, Honduras. Mainly used the low light setting which was plenty of night light and gives you extended battery life. Only minor complaint is on/off/lowbeam/hi-beam switch worked hard and required two hands adjustment. I couldnt just click between the beams with one hand on the light. Ditched a 4-D cell light in favor of this one with 4 C cells and LED light. Clearly an improvement in weight, ease of handling, and underwater light. She wants to replace her old style 4 D cell primary diving light as well, and were going to order another one of these for her. Good piece of equipment !

Rating: Performed well
Reviewer: David S.,  - View all my reviews
Took it out for a try after receiving it. Worked well,light was bright,not as heavy as I expected it to be.Would have liked the switch to be a little easier to use but not a big issue. Seems to be a good product for the price.

Rating: Princeton Tec Shockwave LED Dive Light
Reviewer: Barbara T.,
Although expensive it is really well made and the color makes it easy to see even in poor visibility waters. Wrist strap is good size - not too big and not too small. Light has good power and it is not too heavy or bulky. Good purchase.

Rating: Turn " Night to Light"
Reviewer: william hanson,
I am very satisfied with this light. Why did I get it? My light was an oceanic ocean pro. 25 years old, 6 volt battery, and just wore out. I was optimistic that such a compact light could deliver so many lumens, be so compact and work as described in the literature, delivered to my door in less than a week, with batteries included, free shipping. AND IT WORKED AT A 115 FOOT depth on two boat dives on the same day........... Love it, Bill

Rating: bright for less
Reviewer: john u.,
Princeton Tec Shockwave is a bright though somewhat heavy (with 8 C cells) light that really lights up overhangs and reef walls. I would recommend it for anyone not concerned about the extra bulk and weight

Rating: Excellent Light
Reviewer: Michael Tuvim,
Excellent strong and pure white (!) light. The beam is broad. One could possibly call it not tightly focused. Personally, I consider it a plus for a night dive: it allows you to see more in a broader field of view rather then focus on an illuminated point in the sea of blackness.

Rating: Lots of light
Reviewer: JOE E.,  - View all my reviews
The Princeton Tec Shockwave LED light is by far the best underwater light I have ever owned. Its penetration on a night dive is far superior to ordinary lights. A bit heavy with the 8 batteries but the hand hold is sufficient to balance the light. Great light!!!

Rating: Lumens for price amazing!
Reviewer: Raymond Y.,
Some divers go crazy for the most expensive products out there assuming they must be the best. This light is a rare exception that you get what you pay for. For the money, this light blows away HID and canister lights 3 to 4 times its cost. Princeton is also amazing to work with on warranty claims, had another light earlier from them that leaked, sent it in and they sent me a brand new one, no questions asked! This new 400 lumen model is outstanding for $100.
