THOMAS S : can i get a new light bulb for my sl4 flashlight ?JOHN W : Yes you can buy one at most dive shops?WAYNE K : Yes, I replaced mine a couple of dive seasons back.YAN G : Yes, here it is: <a href="http://www.leisurepro.com/p-uktrbsl4/underwater-kinetics-55-watt-bulb-and-reflector-assembly-for-sl4" target="_blank">http://www.leisurepro.com/p-uktrbsl4/underwater-kinetics-55-watt-bulb-and-reflector-assembly-for-sl4.</a>
Shrew J : Is this LED or Xenon lights?Steve S : This is a 5.5 Watt Xenon bulb.DELBERT M : The SL4 is a xenon bulb. The good one is the SL4eLed or something like that--at about $75-90.WAYNE K : Probably xenon. It is not LED for sure. It is bright and works well. Carry it in a BC pocket as a general purpose/backup light.DIMITRIOS M : It's Xenon. Look for SL4 eLED L1 for the LED. I recommend the LEDs if you can afford it, batteries last forever.
Shopper : What is the light range on it?ENRIQUE Z : I could not say for sure the light range ... but I can say that this is one of the best back up lights you could ever carry ,,, and you can use it for a primary as well ... it is so much better than the 79 dollar princeton lights it is not even funny ... this is one of the best underwater lights available for the price ... I have three ...KRISTINA J : Very powerful for a small light, just guessing.... approximately 50'. Although, this is in a cavern. Have not used it on a night dive.FAREED H : Dont remember the details but should be 8-10 ft easilyBARTON Z : Shopper The light does very well as a spot light. It has a rather narrow beam and suits my purposes well. How ever ,the clearity of the water plays a large part in the depth of penetration of the beam. It does very well for me.CHRISTOPHER F : Not great, if you can afford an LED, it is worth the extra money.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?Blaine P : Use this light as primary and backup, ordered another for a friend.BILL H B : Heard it was a good lightENRIQUE Z : Best small light on the market ...TERRY H : This is the brightest small light I have used. It fits easily into my vest pocket but provides an excellent strong beam of light for looking in crevices and holes. Good night dive back-up light.HARRY C : good price/qualityCHARLES H : Small, good enoght light for looking in holes and small overheads. I use if for spearfishing.FAREED H : Cost. Needed a backup light.ALLEN S : This is an awful lot of illumination in a small package. It fits nicely into a pouch on the waist belt or a thigh pocket.WILLIAM S : Use it regularly. Dependable and not too bulky.DAMON H : This was a good price for a back-up light.JENNIFER S : Best long lastingback-up flashlight. I had/used my old one for about 20 years

Bright, compact, reliable

Perfect for slipping in the BC pocket for daytime dives where a light might allow a look into a deep recess. I use this for both primary and backup lights at night, since the bright beam really improves focusing attention on what is hiding on and under the coral or in the wreck.

UK SL4 Junk

Upon arriving in Indonesia, dive light was snapped in half between the 2 molded parts, poor resin in construction. Was very disappointed, considering the dive light never made a single dive. Luckily, had a back-up. Used my dive partners light, was the exact same light, & it too was erratic, sometimes it worked & other times it just went out during the night dives, really pissing me off, (while diving with a 40 megapixel camera). What more can be said.......junk.... I'm sending it back ASAP!

I would buy this again

Got this for my 11 year old son. It has a bright and narrow beam and penetrates good. We used it night diving in the pool and in the lake with low vis and have not had any problems with it. Good light for the money. also would make a good spare for night diving.

Does not honor warranty

The company refuses to allow you to use your warranty if the reflector comes off. The light, overall, is poorly made. Even the seals won't stay in place. A $5 flashlight would be more reliable then this flashlight. I recommend to use another brand because. Their warranty is only as good as their word.

Good Bright Light, great price

Good for use in daytime also, looking in nooks for sea life, a must have, I carry it with me on all dive. Good back-up for a night dive but would not use as a main light.

Great compact light and fits into BC

This is a very compact light. I use it both for dives and outside as well. The light is intense and battery life is very long. It easily fits into the BC pocket. I have another one with LEDs but I prefer the SL4 because it is brighter.

Good light

This is a nice compact light. The flat shape fits easily into your BCD pocket. The beam is tighter than my Princeton Tec 400 and it is maybe just a bit brighter. It is easier to get in and out of my BCD pocket than the Princeton. My wife really likes the size and weight too. The slightly lighter weight makes it a good choice for traveling. The batteries are a little tricky getting in, but no worse than my NiteRider dive light. I would prefer that it had a magnetic switch, although the mechanical switch seems rugged enough. The switch placement on the front of the light make it a little awkward to use at first until you get used to it. It is bright enough to be used as a primary dive light in clear water or as a good backup in lower vis diving. It would probably be adequate as a third or forth backup light for overhead environment diving too. It's size also makes it a great light for using on daytime dives when you want to look under a dark ledge to see who's hiding or those late afternoon dives that almost turn into night dives. If you are traveling, I would recommend buying a spare bulb to take with you. This light gets pretty warm out of the water. If you travel with it, pack the batteries separately so it will not turn on accidentally in your dive bag and cause a problem. You can also find a good LED replacement bulb on one of those famous (infamous?) online auction sites that is a lot brighter than the OEM bulb. Typical rugged and reliable UK quality. This light offers a very good value.[...].

UK - Quality made in the USA

Having owned and/or used several dive lights during my 23 years of diving I can attest to the superiority of the Underwater Kinetics products. They are very durable and well built having experienced only one malfunction (wouldn't shut off) with one product EVER. Even though I had owned this SL4 unit for nine years, UK made things right with NO hassle. They really stand behind their products... you can't ask for anything better than that kind of customer service. I will NEVER buy anything other than UK products.

Great dive light

I had one of these since 1996 and took it on 100+ dives. I finally dropped something heavy on it and broke it. Luckily they still make it.

Great Light

Great focused beam to look under ledges and in small crevices. Awesome light. Last one I had did begin to leak but it must have been something I did as my buddy has had his almost 10 years now with no issues. He is more careful with his gear than I am . Have used light to 150 feet.

Good light

Great small light. Easily fits in your BC pocket or if you attach a clip, you can clip it on a D-ring on your BC. Either way, it is compact and gives good light. I have a SL6 as well but it is awkward to put in the BC pockets and is cumbersom clipped on the outside of the BC. Overall I far prefer the SL4 for its smaller, more compact size.

Perfect main dive light - for me

If this one is like my UK Mini Q40, I'm going to love it. I didn't mark any of the pros besides size as I've only put it to use 3x. It is heavy and large for what I'm accustomed to (the Q40 is rather tiny), but it is much smaller and lighter than the average person's main dive light. Using it on a night dive in Monterey as my main dive light, it was perfect! And I always remove the batteries after using it, to prolong the life of the batteries.

Great backup and even good primary!

I have used this light for night dives and cavern dives. The beam of light it produces is very intense, but it may be too narrow for some purposes. Overall is works great. It fits in my BC pockets and it is easy to handle. Battery life is great as well.

Bright and compact

Bright, compact, reliable

By Blaine P.

Perfect for slipping in the BC pocket for daytime dives where a light might allow a look into a deep recess. I use this for both primary and backup lights at night, since the bright beam really improves focusing attention on what is hiding on and under the coral or in the wreck.

The SL4 has to be the smallest and brightest 4 "C" cell dive light ever made! It emits a narrow and penetrating beam, which allows you to seek out unique marine life found under ledges. It also works well when attached to protective head gear in technical diving applications. The SL4 is great as a photo spotting light or to illuminate gauges and dive tables. Light fits neatly in a BCD pocket so it's always ready for use with its 5.5 watt high pressure xenon filled lamp. Tough, non-conductive ABS and polycarbonate plastic construction will not corrode, dent or freeze to skin in cold weather, and it comes with an adjustable rubber sleeved lanyard.

The SL4's Xenon lamp produces 113 lumens of brightness with a precision machined aluminum reflector that gives a tight 8° degree beam angle. The light has an 804' (425 meter) beam distance on land. To reduce glare and protect the light, the SL4 comes with a molded rubber bezel cover. The rotary switch is easily activated with the thumb and index finger for single hand operation. The Light is powered by 4 x C"-cell alkaline batteries (included) with a burn time of 4 to 5 hours. The light measures 6.3" x 1.8" x 2.5" (16 x 4.57 x 6.35 cm), weighs 15 oz (425.24 g) and is depth rated to 500' (152.4 meters). The SL4 is available in multiple colors, includes an owner's manual, is proudly made in the USA and is covered by a limited lifetime warranty.
