Amazon had the Ano T105t on sale during prime day so I picked up two as back ups to the DRIS lights we ordered.
Specs
We took the dive out for 3 night dives 3 weeks ago. Each night dive had a max depth of 30’. We ended up using it with a hand strap. It worked well for what we were using it for.
We used the light again on a 80’ deep dive. It gave enough light for us to see the unique formations in the quarry. On this dive the light cycled through the modes a couple of times. My assumption was I was hitting the. Button on the back with the bolt snap.
We used the light on a lake dive last week which had poor visibility. We brought the light just in case it was needed at depth which it was. It was working fine until we hit about 40’. It started to cycle through the different modes again.
This past week we took the light out again as our primary. At 50’ the light kept cycling through the modes again and a fast rate even when making sure nothing was hitting the button. The light would also just flicker. My wife’s Ano seemed to be fine so maybe it was a lemon.
I thought about contacting Ano but while trying to get the light working at depth the strap around my wrist snapped. The light fell to the bottom turned off. We looked for it for a while but gave up. Visibility was not good.
I had hoped this sub $40 usd light would have worked but I don’t think We would buy again. I do not like the push button on the bottom. I think I prefer the twist of the DRiS light. We will see how the other Ano holds up.
