ARCHON V10S Diving Flashlight Underwater Scuba Dive Light 1200 Lumens Waterproof Torch with Power Indicator and USB Charger, Red Lamp for Underwater Lighting

Easy to operate

If nothing else, this underwater flashlight can be used to get someone’s attention underwater if you hit it against your tank! That’s a joke, but I love both the color and light emission on this scuba diving flashlight. The price is great as well.

For a rechargeable battery, it lasted over 3 dives. It’s brightness really lights up the reef. I highly recommend!

We recently took this small dive light to the Atlantic Coast for some shore and boat diving in Palm County Florida. The three settings are HIGH, LOW and STROBE. We tried all three features and realized that this light is well built, long lasting and compact; in short, it's a perfect light for recreational diving. The battery lasted over the course of one night dive and several day dives where we would use the light to see inside coral formations, under reef ledges and inside various nooks and crannies inside artificial reefs such as intentionally sunk ships.We didn't utilize the strobe feature. However, it is a very useful mode for marking an anchor line up to your dive boat or for marking your exit point on shore while night diving.The lanyard is a bit long, so we put a knot in it to take up some scope. The internal compartment is sealed with not one but two O rings (the standard for good dive lights).There is a spot beam in the center and a wider broad beam to illuminate the area around the spot beam. The price of this product is attractive so having two of these lights in your dive kit (a primary and a backup) is within your grasp.A nice addition for this light would be a case to hold the light, lanyard, charging cable and spare O rings. Other than that, I am impressed with this product.

I got this is a backup for my other dive light and I also use it for daytime diving as well. I have a dive light I use for night diving with a more focused beam. This is not as focused but is very bright in the core. The battery life appears to be good and it charges quite fast. I always have a backup battery available for changes between dives.This light is solidly built and I love that it has a power indicator on it. I also appreciate the inclusion of additional o-rings. Keep them clean and use silicon grease regularly and this will stay leak free. This has all the features of a similar dive light I bought for twice as much. This light should only be used out of the water for a very short period as the body gets quite hot. This is common for many dive lights as they rely on the water to keep them cool.

This light seems to be very well made. It has an all aluminum chassis, with 2 orings to seal the battery compartment and electronics from getting water inside. The battery that comes with it is rechargeable which is a very nice touch. I have a much more expensive weapon light that takes the same kind of battery, and is also rated at 1000 Lumens. I took them both outside after dark and found that they both shine equally bright, so this light truly is 1000 lumens and is a fraction of the cost of name brands and weapon lights. I found that the color is a deep magenta, not quite as "pink" looking as the pictures in the product description. This is a plus for me I don't really care to have a pink flash light. I plan to keep this light near my bed for those times you want to investigate a noise. The power button toggles between modes. It first turns on to the full power 1000 lumen mode, then a 2nd puch turns to a lower power mode, about half as bright I would say. The 3rd push turns on a very slow strobe at full lumens. The stobe is probably good to try to get someones attention if you are lost or in danger, but is not quick enough to stun a possible attacker as the strobe feature is on many weapon lights. I haven't had a chance to test it underwater and probably won't use it much for that purpose but I'm sure with the double orings it would remain functional at any reasonable depth.

Or really, an excellent ANYTHING flashlight! It's nice and bright and easy to operate. There's just the bright light setting, the not so bright setting, and the strobe setting. And that's it. I for one, greatly dislike flashlights and/or other devices that have like ten different functions that are all somehow controlled with one button. The listing is also nicely detailed, and shows how long each mode can run on a full battery charge. 1.5 hours on the bright setting, 4 hours on the not so bright setting, and 2 hours on the strobe setting. However, I was also going to put here, how long it takes to charge the battery, but after 20 minutes of trying to find out, it seems that information isn't listed ANYWHERE... Maybe I missed it somewhere, but seeing as how the runtime of each setting is listed all over the place, it's pretty angry making that how long it takes to charge the battery isn't listed anywhere. At least, it wasn't at the time of this review. I'm tempted to dock y'all a star for that ARCHON! But I'm going to let it slide. Don't make me regret it. Lol, but anyway... I haven't charged the battery from an almost dead state yet, but doing like they say to do and charging it before it's first use, it only took just over an hour to charge.With all of that being said, I would say that I highly recommend this flashlight to anyone considering getting it.
