Wurkkos DL30 3600lm Scuba Dive Light, IPX8, Magnetic Switch

The Wurkkos DL30 Diving Torch is a fantastic product that exceeded all my expectations. I recently used this when I was out hiking and was blown away by its performance. The 3600 lumens of bright light provided excellent visibility, and the neutral white light color was perfect for viewing the woodland that I was exploring.The build quality of this torch is impressive, and the IPX8 waterproof rating meant that it was completely unaffected by any rain. The included 21700 battery and charger made it easy to recharge the torch for my next outdoor adventure, and the battery life was exceptional, lasting for several hours on a single charge.The torch is also easy to operate, with a simple rotating switch that allows you to adjust the brightness and switch between different modes. The compact size of the torch makes it easy to handle and maneuver when multi-tasking, and the wrist strap ensures that you won't lose it.Overall, I can confidently recommend the Wurkkos DL30 Diving Torch to anyone looking for a high-quality and reliable torch. It's a product that delivers on its promises and will undoubtedly enhance your hiking experience. If you're looking for a powerful, durable, and easy-to-use dive torch, then the Wurkkos DL30 is the perfect choice for you. I have attached photos of the torch being used in my back garden for you to see how bright it is.

Very bright and well manufactured torch. Been using Wurkkos for 3 years now diving in cold UK waters at depths of 30+ m. Thus far had no issues. Brought the DL40 as my first Wurkkos torch and have since used the DL70 and DL30. 40 and 70 are similar with both boasting extremely bright top settings. Battery life lasts two 1 hour dives if not using top brightness. Beam rivals and often far supercede more expensive dive torches used in my club, with a clear bright white light. The DL30 is very compact and perfect as a back up light (I prefer the twist switch on it as it does not turn on accidentally), whilst still packing a punch. Highly reccomend Wurkkos to everyone looking for a first diving torch.

I purchased two dive lights for a diving trip to Greece recently. A Sofirn SD05 and this Wurrkos DL30. My dive buddy was borrowing my Sofirn SD05 which has a supplied 4000mah battery and produces a claimed 3000 lumens. My Wurkkos DL30 has a supplied 5000mah battery and claims 3600 limens with a higher CRI rating and a warmer tint.Thoughts on the Wurrkos DL30:While I believe the claimed lumens when compared to other lights of a similar output rating, this compact powerhouse really is a compromise between flood and throw. With the three emitters it's fantastic for lighting up a larger area up close in clear water, but the light doesn't penetrate very far into the pitch black of a night dive.In the first pic you can see a screen capture from my Go Pro showing the high intensity hotspot of the Sofirn vs the Wurrkos (same factory by the way). The deep reflector and single emitter of the Sofirn really penetrates through the water while the Wurrkos struggles past 10-15 feet in clear water (both used at full power the entire dive)In the second pic I uploaded with this review you can see my dive buddy illuminated by the Wurrkos, but not by much. She's about 10 feet from me with a black wetsuit on and about 2 feet from the white sand below her.Issues: The claimed runtime on full power for the Wurrkos DL30 is around one and a half hours. After going through the recording on my Go Pro, there was a blink and a significant step down in power around the 40 minute mark which was not ideal (likely the battery going rather than overheating as it's water cooled at this point!). The dive lasted 52 minutes and the Sofirn SD05 was still going strong at full power even with 1000mah less in the tank. Full charge was confirmed on both batteries twice by two different chargers prior to the dive.Another issue was the 'OK' signal underwater between divers. You simply use your torch to make a circle on the floor, rock or around the diver to ask if they are OK then wait for a response. Not once did anyone respond to my OK request due to the lack of a hotspot most likely. However I responded every time to the request of the diver using the Sofirn SD05. Diver awareness could have also been a contributing factor.Both lights survived 103 feet below the surface with no issues of leakage or moisture entering inside. The Wurrkos DL30 rotating switch started out feeling quite gritty compared to the smoothly rotating switch on the Sofirn SD05. This has improved a little with use and didn't interfere with functioning underwater.Conclusion: Get the Sofirn SD05, it's a more practical light even though the colours don't pop as much compared to the Wurrkos DL30. I'll now be using the DL30 as a backup.

Excellent torch, very bright,I have used on loads of dives in UK and abroad no problem

Great little torchPurchased one to have a look at the quality, was surprised so bought another one, just back from a weeks Diving and they performed perfectly, depth used was around 30m and the 3 different power levels worked well.On a low viz dive it was great to be able to power down the torch to see better due to a storm the night before.Good piece of kit.

Torch not working. Batteries charged until green ligh lit on charger. Inserted correct way in to torch, sitcker on batteries removed. Bottom screwed back on. Pressing on switch nothing happens.

Good quality bright light

It was my first ever purchase of a dive torch, and so did't want to spend too much money, but looking back it was a mistake.It's a powerfull underwater light, but because of that it's also very heavy and perhaps not the thing to take on holiday. It's also too powerful for diving in good visibilty on reefs etc, where a smaller torch would be better for looking into nooks and crannies.The magnetic switch doesn't have a "lock-out" function. You can switch between power settings by short pressing the button, and on a long press for switching off. Short press will turn the torch on again, and start at the previous setting of brightness... and there's the problem. It's far too easy to accidently switch on the torch. So you can't just throw it into you dive bag or the dive box on a boat as it can randomly switch on whilst out of the water draining the battery and potentially overheating. So the only solution is to twist the bottom of the torch to remove contact with the battery...then you jump in the water and realsie that the rear of the torch isn't fully screwed tight 😱It is of good quality machined aluminium, but I question the need to have the battery compartment threaded at both ends, adding to potential failure points.I kept the torch as a back-up, but In the end, after not that much use the magnetic switch popped out and got lost. It was out of warrantee, and Wurkkos wanted too much money for a replacement switch.... so now I have a very expensive paperweight.Pros: Cheap and powerfullCons: Weight, Size, and button operation, overall quality.

Parfait , robuste avec un rapport qualité prix imbattable

Cercavo una torcia subacquea di piccole dimensioni ma molto potente per sostituire quella che mi è "morta" da poco (il brutto dei led che, senza preavviso, non si accendono più da un giorno all'altro...) e che illuminava a giorno l'antro più buio.Ho pensato a questa, che dalla descrizione sembrava piccola e potente, ovviamente col beneficio del dubbio (se non vedo non credo).La prima sorpresa è nelle dimensioni: è piccolissima, sembra quasi un giocattolo! In compenso il lacciolo per tenerla al polso è talmente grande che è più pratico metterlo al collo e manovrare la torcia come fosse un "pendente". Pratico l'interruttore magnetico ad anello rotante, che evita accensioni involontarie (come coi consueti pulsanti).Ma la seconda sorpresa è stata la potenza! Portata in acqua fino a oltre 40 m in notturna, al minimo fornisce una bella luce diffusa e gradevole, ma portando i 3 led a piena potenza ha illuminato a giorno fino alla superficie, con un ampio fascio quasi uniforme con solo una leggera prevalenza centrale, ottimo anche per fare riprese senza "bruciare" la zona del soggetto! Veramente ideale per ammirare il fondale, che copre ampiamente, a differenza delle torce più dedicate che offrono un campo molto ristretto per superare la presenza di sedimento. Ma la potenza è tale che mi ha permesso di trovare due compagni che erano avvolti in una "nuvola" di sospensione, davvero impressionante. L'unico dubbio sta nella necessità di ricaricare la batteria (compresa nell'acquisto, ottimo) all'esterno della torcia, che deve quindi essere aperta abbastanza spesso visto che l'autonomia dichiarata non consente di fare più di una giornata di immersioni. Fortunatamente sono compresi anche due o-ring di ricambio. Nella confezione sono presenti, oltre alla torcia, la batteria tipo 21650, il caricabatteria e un cilindro di plastica che permette di alloggiare una pila più piccola tipo 18650 (quelle delle sigarette elettroniche); come già detto vi sono gli o-ring di riserva e il lacciolo.Insomma, sono rimasto più che soddisfatto dell'acquisto e consiglio questo bell'oggetto senza remore, peccato solo che il prezzo di recente è aumentato.

mon épouse était enchantée de la maniabilité et surtout de la puissance d'éclairage dans les grottes des Cénottes en République Dominicaine. Très bonne autonomie et éclairage et faisceau parfaits pour le prix demandé, ça le vaut

Pour le prix, elle en vaut vraiment la peine! Eclairage puissant. Testé jusqu'à 20m en carrière. Parfaite comme première lampe sans se ruiner ou comme lampe de secours. 45min d'utilisation à pleine puissance sans faiblir.

Im September 2021 habe ich mir diese Taschenlampe gekauft, weil ich für unseren Geocaching-Urlaub in Kroatien eine lichtstarke, wasserdichte Leuchte für einige Schwimmcaches in Höhlen, aber auch für solche in unterirdischen Locations an Land benötigte. Hier schien das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis zu passen.Die Lampe kam in einer unspektakulären Verpackung, also ohne viel Verpackungsmüll bei mir an, was ich schon als sehr positiv bewerten möchte.Kaum ausgepackt, musste auch schon das Wohnzimmer als Testraum herhalten. Meine Güte, die Leuchtstärke war immens, ich weiß gar nicht mehr, wie lange meine Augen benötigten, um wieder richtig sehen zu können.Also erst mal raus, auf den Schulhof nebenan, Freilufttest im Dunkeln. Auch hier das gleiche Bild, volle Ausleuchtung auf der höchsten Beleuchtungsstufe - beeindruckend.Gut fand ich von Anfang an, dass die Lampe sich durch den Drehring sehr einfach einhändig bedienen lässt, auch die große Halteschlaufe empfand ich als positiv. Zu meiner Zeit als Freizeittaucher hätte ich mir ein solch handliches Teil statt meiner klobigen Taucherlampe gewünscht.Apropos Tauchen, man merkt der Lampe schon ihren Einsatzzweck an, an Land stellte sich recht schnell heraus, dass bei der höchsten Beleuchtungsstufe der Lampenkörper sehr schnell ziemlich warm, um nicht zu sagen heiß wird. Hier heißt es dann einen guten Mittelweg zwischen Beleuchtungsstärke und Erwärmung zu finden. Aber man muss ja auch nicht unbedingt mit einer Flutlichtanlage nachts im Wald oder in verlassenen Gebäuden rumrennen, manchmal ist weniger auch mehr.Was mir ein wenig gefehlt hat war, dass sich der Fokus der Lampe nicht verändern lässt, da hätte ich mir manchmal einen größeren Abstrahlwinkel gewünscht, aber das ist Jammern auf hohem Niveau.Jedenfalls hat die Wurkkos DL30 mir bisher gute Dienste geleistet - bis zu dem Tag, als sie nicht mehr anging. Ich hab' dann ziemlich alles probiert, was man probieren kann, nichts hat geholfen, die Lampe blieb dunkel. Akku war getestet, voll geladen, richtig rum eingebaut, nichts.Was nun? Abschreiben? Ich hab' mich dann doch für Anschreiben entschieden und mir die Emailadresse von Wurkkos rausgesucht, meine Lampe und mein Problem beschrieben, in Deutsch und (mit Deepl übersetzt) Englisch und das Ganze nach China geschickt.Kurze Zeit später dann die Antwort in Englisch, mehrere Lösungsvorschläge und darunter auch der eine, zielführende!Die Lampe scheint sehr empfindlich zu reagieren, wenn sie nicht richtig fest - also wirklich richtig fest - wieder zusammengeschraubt wird. Kein Kontakt, kein Licht. Bei mir war's weniger als ein halber Millimeter, der beim Zudrehen gefehlt hat. Also ganz wichtig, richtig feste zusammenknallen, dann geht's.Was dann auch fünf Sternchen für den Support bringt, schnell reagiert und die richtige Lösung unter den gemachten Vorschlägen. Ich bin vollauf zufrieden.HdE
