Questions & Answers

KENNETH M : How is this improved from the $39.95 model?KEVIN F : The older model is 125 lumens. The current model is 425 lumens.
Chad B : Specs state this flashlight weighs 13.3 ounces. Is this with, or without the batteries?Rick Y : Yes, this light weighs 13.3 oonces with batteries. I bought this light, which came with batteries, and added a snap bolt to ring. My light weighs just under 15 ounces. I've had one dive with it so far and it worked great. For maintenance, just keep o-rings lubed with silicone lube.ANTHONY T : With batteriesFERNANDO C : With the lanyard and batteries mine weights exactly 14 ounces.
Chad B : Would you consider the UK Sunlight SL3 a wide, or narrow focus light beam?SCOTT A : What I've seen above water is a narrow focus beam. But I actually haven't had a chance to dove with it yet. So, I may not be a good resource just yet. I apologize.WESLEY W : On a dve trip in roatan as I type. I would consider this narrow, but extremely bright. It's the only thing I'm using at night. Very nice light! You won't be disappointedTodd D : It has an adjustable beam, the more you turn it, the more focused it becomes. But it is definitely not a FLOOD light. It's a relatively narrow beam.BARBARA S : I'd say it's a narrow focus beam but it does give some viewing range To the sides of your target focal point. It's a useful overall light.Joseph v : Narrow, some splash outside buts it's a pretty good little circle.Antonio M : I would say it is not either. It provides a normal angle. There are other types of flash lights that you can change from a narrow angle to a much wider angle. Try the tovatec 1000. Strong light in narrow view and you can adjust by twisting the front to a wide view with high power.MANUEL G : Wide light beanJoseph M : It is in between both. This is a very bright dive light that would make an excellent primary or secondary. I took it to Cozumel this year and it would light up around a 10-15 yard area at 20-40 yards. Very good light.FERNANDO C : I will consider it a narrow beam.
ALAN C : Does the SL3 use the same LED light and lense cover as the SL4 ? Note SL3 = 3 C cells verses SL4 with 4 C cell batteries.KEVIN F : No, it is not the same assembly.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?LOUIS G : I have had UK lights for 40+ years. Reliable and used to be economical. Only problem is when you loose one in cold dark California waters, they are really hard to find. When you loose two (cause I was too lazy to replace weak bungee) You go to Scuba and buy another.WILLIAM N : Used this light for 3 years, very bright, lost it on recent dive trip, buying this to replace the one I lost.CHARLES G : Great lightMAX K : As a backup lightCHRISTOPHER C : Ratings and reviews on different sitesLARON C : Needed a dive lightMICHAEL M : I wanted a back up dive light.Stacey L : good light with long battery life and brightARNEL G : I picked it because of simple design and very good review. Value for money.MARIAMA W : Online review said it was a good product for the price and it was on sale.PAUL K : Higher light outputArthur T : I wanted a new light after having bought and used a 4 cell Toshiba for close to 25 yrs. This one is about the same price as the ones I bought yrs ago but brighter.GENE H : C cell batteries provide current to drive the lamp brighter and longer than AA batteries, and the tube lights of ABS plastic do not corrode or easily crush.DAWN H : Great light for the price but, I've decided I don't care for the twist on option. I'll keep this light to use as a backup but, will be purchasing a primary light once I find what I'm looking for.

Bright, white light that works well.

Love this light! They are very common, so be sure to label with your name. This is my second one because I didnt label it and dive charter claimed it as their own. I'd consider it a spot light rather then wide flood light. Highly recommend. Leisure pro shipping A+

Great multi use flashlight.

Many night dives with this flashlight as well as using it to peer into dark places during day dives. A great size for keeping in a BCD pocket. My husband and I each have one.

Great general purpose light - I measured the beam angles

This is an excellent value, American made, won't overheat in water or on land, lasts at least as long as advertised, and has a simple-stupid design. I own two, often using one as a primary. It's easy to grease the 2 o-rings. To turn on, it takes firm but limited twisting. You don't have to twist far in either direction when near to the "on" position. Unscrew it a little, and it turns off. Since no one seems to know the beam angles, I decided to measure them. Yes, I used geometry, tape measure, yard stick, and a dark shop wall. The light emits 3 distinct brightness areas: central beam and two bands. The central beam is more like a pencil beam with soft edges. Central beam blinds you in day and night if pointed at you. The 1st band is moderately bright, annoying at night if this band shines your way but not a problem during day. The 2nd band is extremely wide but dim, not blinding at all during night or day. My measurements: 12 degrees central beam, 38 degrees 1st band, 112 degrees 2nd band. As a comparison, I used a Bigblue 1200 lumen flood light on a night dive a couple weeks ago. The water was slightly churned up. I ended up pulling out this SL3 because it penetrated the dark so much better, which was a feel-good in Pacific waters. The Bigblue is awesome, but it wasn't as good under these conditions. Basically, in my opinion, this light is more of a pencil beam light with a little bit of a small-to-medium diameter flood at the same time. It won't replace a dedicated flood beam if that is what is needed, but it is a great all-around tool. I really like it for wreck dives and when water is silty or has debris. One tip if you are a novice at photos and videography with cheap action cameras at night (me!): shine pencil beam to the side of the critters, because the pencil beam is too bright. Lastly, I included some photos, which include both 6 ft and 12 ft distances from the wall.

Great light and size

I bought this because I lost mine, which was the newer model of this one. I use this light as my primary. Don’t do night diving really but it worked just fine the one night dive I did do. It is a great size with a lot of light. I clip it onto my BC. Love the green/yellow color as well.

Good dive light

I use this as a backup light to a much more expensive light monkey light. I turn it on before I get in the water to not stress the O-rings at depth. Where/when I dive there is normally very little, if any ambient light and this light is bright enough to be used as a primary dive light if needed.

Good values on a dive light.

It does exactly what I needed for night dives. I used it as a primary light as it was bright enough for me to see in a rock quarry after dusk. Battery life is still a question as for now I am pleased.

It broke

The light looked and worked really well However, when I was looking at it when I first got it, the end piece broke and I had to send it back. Never even got in the water with it.

Good balance, SUPER bright!

Well made light. Balanced with a good weight. Very bright, great for cracks and crevices during day dives. While I havenâ??t used it in a night dive, Iâ??d have zero concern making this my primary light.

Be like Nike just do it.

This light is pretty good at cutting through dense green algae. The kind where if your 15 feet from your partner they are totally gone. This helps find them if you both have one. For the price L.P. had them, there is no question. Just buy it. 4 stars cause my big Blue light, way more costly, was it's direct competitor.

Serviceable general utility dive light at the right price.

This is a good primary light for recreational diving. Turn on off mechanism seems to operate smoothly and easily. Beam is quite strong and provides a nice wide radius of illumination. Batteries easy to swap out. I've had several dive lights and this is a nice overall piece of equipment fairly priced.

Like the light a lot. Is a little bigger than I thought. Streamlining for spearfishing is hard given the size. I use as as my primary. Def. recommend.

Best bang for buck dive light!

I ordered the yellow version of this light. Quality is great and I'm very impressed with how bright and clean this flashlight LED is. Haven't dove with it yet so I can't say if I'd recommend this light as a primary but my expectation is that it would be a solid primary performer along with being a great backup. Highly recommend!
