ORCATORCHD530V 1200 Lumen Scuba Diving Video Light 140 Degrees Super Wide Beam Angle, Underwater 150 Meters IP68 Waterproof Photography Light with Battery Power Indicator and Ball Joint

I am a diver and an underwater photographer. I have tried the light on two dives so far. It is bright and allows me to see a clear view of the reef and the animals I want to photograph. So far, I have only used it in my hand, but next I will mount it and try it as a focus light on my camera rig. It has a clear, bright beam, it lasted through two dives so far and I have not had to recharge it yet. My dives average three hours each, so this is an important factor. It made the dive more fun to have this excellent light's illumination, especially as the natural light faded towards the end of my dive. I would definitely recommend this light. It even comes with an optional ball mount to mount on a camera or wrist.

I wanted a video light to use with my underwater camera. The internal flash is located on the left side of the camera, and quite often I get shadows to the right of the subject. So the idea was to turn it on, take the picture, and turn it back off. That was the intention, and it worked very well for that use. However, to my surprise, it turns out to be a formidable dive light for general purpose as well, thanks to its incredible battery life. I started to use more and more, just waiting for the time it would run out of battery. For 100~120 min dives, it stays on all the time. Now I don't really need a spotlight anymore, since the video light is less aggressive on marine critters.Regarding the light, the wide-angle beam provides smooth illumination throughout the entire photographed area which is great for UW Photography. No shadows, no hotspots, just constant light.The ball mount works very well, but I chose a different one that allow for a better positioning of the video light. Just personal preference. Battery is rechargeable through a USB cable, without the need of bulky and potentially hazardous battery chargers.It also comes with extra o-rings, but with a bit of silicon grease every once in a while on the thread I expect them to last a long time (I'd think it's worth it to check for signs of wear though, and replace the o-rings as needed).One last comment: all the use this far has been on daylight dives, which only stresses how good this video light is.I highly recommend the product.

I really thought I had found the perfect u/w camera light. Bright, One battery. Light weight......Got up to go diving this morning, inserted the fresh battery, turned on - light flickered and is dead. Tried the second charged battery - still no go. My 30 dollar lights lasted longer than this ,,,,,,,

I purchased this light and then the snoot. The issue is the threads on the front of the flashlight no longer work to hold the snoot in place, it just falls off easily. Very frustrating.Edit, I am expecting a replacement, and will update the review later

I bought this product together with the snoot. After a couple of times attaching and detaching the snoot, the snoot no longer fits the torch. So I contacted the seller right away and they responded very quickly and are going to replace both products. If you have encountered any problems, contact them directly and they will provide solutions.
