The light is great for a bcd. It is rugged and reliable.

Light did not have the brightness I was looking for. Construction is good.

Good substantial construction. I think it will be a good choice for another Princeton Tech flashlight I had.

The light lasted only one dive. In the second dive the light bulb was burned. Waste of money. The replacement bulb costs 50% of the initial value.

I didn't really like this flashlight. It smells nice for some reason, probably the only thing good about it, funny how I should be rating its value as a flashlight, not as potpourri. The light is yellow, not white, it's really not bright at all, and is a really mediocre backup light. This should not be used as primary, you won't be able to see much at all. To get the most use out of this, when your primary light fails, use this light to get oriented and find your equipment, such as the power-inflator, and then safely ascend. That's all this light is good for- finding your own equipment and ascending. I would not recommend continuing the dive, or using the light to find your way back before ascending, no, just ascend and end the dive. You need something better, a backup light that can help you find your way back underwater. I would not recommend this, you really get what you pay for and in my opinion, just pay more and get something actually reliable and useful.

I bought this light to take with me to Palau and not only was it not bright at all (honestly, when I turned it on I could never tell when it was on), but the flashlight flooded with water after about 3 dives and I could no longer use it. So now I have a broken flashlight. I do not recommend purchasing this light.

Decent little halogen light, but it flooded and got ruined during first week of fairly simple dives in Coz. Glad others have liked it, but I can't recommend it.

Used on about a dozen dives. Compact and rugged. Beam is too weak for serious use but adequate as backup.

Great brightness and focused beam Hard to figure out what replacement bulb to buy. Bulb not referenced in specs.

It's an excellent flashlight once you upgrade the bulb to LED from [@]. Excellent service from sunnysports.

Because it turns on and off by twisting the lens, it's bound to eventually leak when you twist it to far to turn it off. If you don't twist it far enough, the pressure from a deep dive will push against the lens will turn on the light, so you loosen it a bit more to shut it off. When you then surface, it takes on water. If it had a switch rather than a twist lens, it would be great. I threw both away after 1 dive trip to Socorro Island due to water damage.

Great little light for a back up

This flashlight worked well but has a weak light. Didn't know what to expect but it worked the whole night (3 dives) and then some. The electricity went out in the hotel we were staying at and it worked for that as well. I would recommend for a back up but I plan to ge a brighter light.

I bought this light to replace a Techna 4 light and it is no where close to providing useful light. I bought one for all 4 members of my family that dives and none of us will probably use it to dive. I use it during day dives to illuminate holes and see actual colors. I needed to be about 6 inches away for any light effect. Very disappointed, but it will be a good light around the house.

I LOVE this powerful little light! My son (who dives) gave me my first light and it throws a beam like nothing else on the market, when I needed to buy a new bulb I found LeisurePro and got an extra one for our sail boat.

I Love this little light! You really should get this one!!! My son (who dives) gave me my 1st one and it throws a beam like nothing else! The bulb lasted almost 3 years, even though I use it a couple of times a week, when it was time to order one I also bought another light for our sailboat.

because of the twist on and off switch, light may come on when diving deep due to pressure on the lens.

Purchased as a back-up for my rescue gear, not a great beam. Will only utilize for recreational diving.

This is a replacement for my old Tec-40 which i used for 5 years under extreme salt water and dirty conditions before finally losing it - it appears to be just a good as the original although maybe a little harder to clean - great focused beam for seeing lines at night

This light is bright because it has a halogen blub I was never a big fan of small flashlights until this one. I find myself looking for this flashlight when I have others to use. thanks
