D520 Scuba Dive Light 1000 Lumens Compact Diving Flashlight IP68 Waterproof Night Dive Torch Submarine Diving Lights with Rotary Switch for Underwater 150 Meters Deep Sea Diving (Black)

As an instructor I feel a good dive light is, perhaps, one of the most vital and underrated pieces of equipment that a diver can carry with them, even on daytime dives. That said, most of the time size and weight are a primary concern. I've been diving with this light for about two weeks so far and I am extremely impressed! Bottom line, this little light is absolutely worth the price as it's construction and performance are better than every other light in this price range I've had experience with. This light comes with a charger, TWO 18650 batteries, a spare set of o-rings, and the light itself. The light is extremely slim and light, but that is no indication of the light level that this thing produces. It is very bright! I compared it to a 600 lumen light I usually dive with and it is noticeably brighter than that, so I believe the 1000 lumen claim. The specs say that the light color is supposed to be 5000K, I find that it is a bit cooler - maybe 3500-4000K, yet I find that more beneficial in water that has some particulate (less backscatter and better penetration). Battery life is fine, we typically do one hour dives from the boat, and the battery lasts at least that long. It's my standard procedure to change the battery in my lights during surface interval, so I haven't tried to push the battery life to it's limits. In truth, the battery is mostly responsible for battery life, and the power drain from the LED allows for at least a full hour of "on" time. The construction of this light is very solid. Water tightness is secured by a triple o-ring system (they did not arrive with any silicone grease on them - put some on before you dive with it) that works very well. The body of the light is metal and solid, this is NOT a cheap plastic product. The light is turned on by a twist, and is a very solid switching system. This light does not flicker, it's definitely on or off. I was taking pictures of it's performance underwater, for this review in particular because I've been so impressed with it. Unfortunately my camera flooded (it wasn't as water tight as this light), so I will update this review with pictures at a later time. I am so impressed with this light that I am purchasing a second one and will also look to purchase the push button light from the same company. I highly recommend this light for any diver looking for a good quality light at a fair price.

If you like twist on lights that are compact and bright, then you can't go wrong with this light. In includes a rechargeable battery and feels well made. It has multiple o-rings to prevent leaking. In the photo, from left to right is the following Orcatorch models: D520 (1000 lumens), D530 (1300 lumens), D550 (1000 lumens), and the TD01 (1200 lumens). All 4 models use the same battery size. The D520 is a twist on. The D530 has a power button on top. The D550 has a power button on the back, and the TD01 has a twist control power. All 4 lights work great. The D520 comes in different colors. I picked red, but it looks little towards pink. See my video, it's pretty bright.

Just tried out my new Orcatorch. First let me say I am pretty much a flashlight freak and own many good ones. This one blows them all away. Best construction I have seen in a light this size or any size for that matter. I have a large 1000 lumen light that requires 4-D cell batteries. This one is much smaller and just as bright. Batteries, charger and light all show quality in there construction. I am taking it on a week long dive trip to Cozumel soon and will use it on a night dive with a large group. I am already convinced that I will have the best light on the dive. Has plenty of flood type beam with a nicely focused center to boot. Very, very impressed! Highest recommendation I could possibly give an online purchase. I'm a believer! Update: used both of them that we purchased on our night dive and on a dive we did on a rainy, overcast day. Both performed flawlessly and we recieved many compliments on their performance. They were as good or better than all of the more expensive lights that the other divers were using. We were able to get good GoPro footage with them also.

This is a nice small simple light. I bought myself and my wife each one as backup lights. It ended up becoming my primary on my last trip after an Energizer c-cell battery leaked and scrapped my primary light while I was in Mexico. (To be perfectly honest air wasn’t entirely upset that old nasty UK SL3 flashlight but the dust. I replaced it with a D710.) It’s bright enough to looking holes during the daylight if you’re close to them, but would be perfect for night. One thing you’ll have to figure out for yourself, and the main reason I took off a star is that it’s hard to figure out how FSR to unscrew the light so it doesn’t come on when you descend. There’s enough water pressure it compressed and came on several times during the different dives when I was still using it as a backup. It was generally when we were deeper than 45 feet. Now, the good news is that you do have three o-rings backing you up, so there shouldn’t be any real problems if you maintain the o-rings properly. I’d buy another.

I purchased this torch for my wife. She wanted something that she could use that was unnecessarily complicated and easy to use so I purchased this torch for her. There are no push buttons on this torch with a quick twist. It allows a bright and strong beam able to lighten the darkest cenote or cave. For the recreational Diver, this is excellent because of the simplistic way that the unit works. The cons are it will not tell you the battery Status with an indicator but the unit does come with two batteries and also a dual charger that allows you to never get in the water unprepared. This is an excellent purchase and had a good value and also the unit is very robust and solid in the hand Made from solid aluminum. This is definitely one to strongly consider.

Nice bright torch. Haven't used it in water yet

You will not receive an orca torch. You will get a cheap no brand torch.
