Having embarked on countless nocturnal excursions under the sea, I've developed an appreciation for gear that enhances my underwater experiences. The Sola NightSea light by Light & Motion is certainly a piece of gear that fits the bill, standing as an invaluable companion in the dark depths of the ocean. The Sola NightSea is an exemplar of underwater illumination technology. The blue LEDs emit the perfect wavelength for revealing vibrant underwater fluorescence, turning every dive into a surreal journey of discovery and wonder. From the radiant patterns of corals to the glowing outlines of marine creatures, the NightSea offers an experience that can't be replicated??. The device boasts a phosphor flip-cap, an ingenious feature that enables effortless switching between immersive blue NightSea light and practical white navigation light. This kind of adaptability in a diving light is invaluable, providing flexibility to adapt to varying underwater conditions and needs. The high-level LEDs ensure optimum performance, delivering 435 lumens of white light in flood mode and 290 lumens in spot mode. This guarantees clarity and depth in the darkness of the underwater world, providing a reliable visual aid for navigation and exploration?. The NightSea's SOLA dashboard is a feature that I've come to appreciate greatly. It displays power output, battery status, and charge status, leaving no room for guesswork. The regulated output ensures the light does not dim throughout the dive, maintaining consistent brightness that's crucial in deep waters??. I must commend the NightSea's sturdy and durable design, waterproof up to 330 feet (100 meters). This robustness is essential for any serious diver, providing peace of mind that the device won't succumb to pressure at depth. Furthermore, the light is built to last, with a glass-filled nylon body and tempered glass lens, ensuring longevity and performance even in the toughest conditions??. Recharging is quick and dependable thanks to the external wet charge interface, and the kit comes with useful accessories such as a NightSea mask filter, phosphor cover, and a 2-amp charger. These additions significantly enhance the usability and functionality of the product, making it a comprehensive solution for underwater lighting needs??. However, I would have appreciated a slightly longer burn time in high-mode. At 70 minutes, it may prove to be somewhat limiting for longer dives. This is a minor drawback, however, and doesn't take away from the overall excellent performance and value that the Sola NightSea provides??. All things considered, the Sola NightSea is a solid 4.5 out of 5 stars. Its innovative design, flexibility, and robustness make it an excellent choice for divers seeking to illuminate their underwater experiences. Whether you're a seasoned night diver or looking to add a new dimension to your dives, the Sola NightSea is a bright choice indeed.

I bought this light to watch the florescence creatures and corals underwater. Clever design with phosphorus filter so that it can be used as regular dive light. Like the sealed design as I have had two other lights (other brands) leak. Only dove to about 70 feet so far, want to test it to 130 next set of dives. Also has "electronic" lock as well as manual lock to prevent it from turning on accidentally. Due to the batteries I travelled with this in my carry on. Great Light - want to try out one of Light and Motions white lights.
