Rating: Excellent Light
Reviewer: Michael Tuvim, Friday, July 31, 2009
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., Monday, June 08, 2009 - 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: Bright light
Reviewer: brad smith, Tuesday, June 02, 2009
Tested it out on a night dive last week and it worked great. It was far brighter than any other lights on the dive. LED technology is the way to go, no more worry about replacing bulbs and battery life is so much better. The light was so bright that it will wash out photos at night if pointed directly on the subject.
Hint: save and reuse the cardboard between the batteries and the bulb. It should help preserve your batteries during storage.

Rating: Great light
Reviewer: Bob Ottiano, Friday, May 22, 2009 - View all my reviews
This was the 3rd. light I bought, and is The best! I could have saved a ton of money if I just went with this light. As soon as you pick it up you can tell its just the right one. The way it feels in your hand, it fits like it was made just for you. If your looking for a good light go with this one.Dont do what I did and try something else,save your money and go with the Princeton Tec and you wont be sorry.

Rating: Lumens for price amazing!
Reviewer: Raymond Y., Sunday, May 24, 2009
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.

Rating: Great Light at a Great Price

The Princeton Tec Shockwave LED light is a great light and a great bargain at Scuba.com. Very bright even light. Long battery life with LED technology. I have owned and given (I would give them to Scouts and leaders) a number of small backpacking lights and headlights made by Princeton Tec. Of the few that had problems, Princeton Tec replace them free of charge. Great company to deal with.

Rating:  Light switch
Reviewer: Mark R., Friday, November 21, 2008 - View all my reviews
Light is super bright, nice compact, handles well underwater. Light switch design I feel not the best. If you wear gloves for cold water diving, turning light on an off takes a little effort. Even with out gloves switch could have been a better design.

Rating: Princeton Tec Shockwave L.E.D. Light
Reviewer: David M., Tuesday, October 28, 2008
great piece of dive equipment. worked very well and the battery life was much longer that non LED lights. this is not one of those large heavy lights, however it gives just as much light. i used this for the lobster opener and a few nights after that without any issues. the only ones who do not like this light are the lobsters..:) for both price and performance, i would highly recommend this light to anyone.

Rating: Princeton Tec C8 Shockwave L.E.D. Light
Reviewer: Stuart Farish, Thursday, October 09, 2008
I picked up one of these lights as a replacement for a different brand C8 that failed. Its a very simple design, fewer places to fail than my other light. The switch is easy to use with either hand. The switch safety is large and not a problem even with gloves on. I found the light to be bright & even. Battery life seems to be good. After a few day time dives where I used it a lot to look in holes and a night dive Im still on the orginal batteries that came in the light.
Its not a canister light, but for what it is, a C8 hand held, I like it enough that I bought a 2nd one for my wife to use.

Rating: very good light
Reviewer: jamie ray, Tuesday, August 19, 2008 - View all my reviews
On my first night dive, I was off the coast of Bonaire. My light shown quite well compared too the rest in the group. At one point, I was seeing all the way to the floor which was a good twenty feet down.
