Cheap EBAY Dive Light

100 Meter Dive Light Scuba Flashlight 18K MCD LED 4 AA

Has anyone ever ordered one of these dive lights. They sound ok, but are very cheap. I'm not needing light for wrecks, caves, or anything where real expensive lights are needed. It would mainly be for looking under rocks in the local lakes in lower viz conditions. Just wanted to know if anyone had tried one or not. Below is info off there site. You can do a ebay search and find this light easily. Thanks!!


Product Code: 7208


This 11 LED flashlight is water tight and capable of depths up to 100
meters. It is made out of strong ABS plastic so it won’t break. The
LED’s are each 18,000 MCD, which produces a great light even in the
water. it is easy to use because you just twist the head on and off,
and you won’t loose it because there is a built in strap.

I haven't seen an LED light that throws enough light to be useful on a daytime dive. If the sun is out, and your eyes are used to that, it takes a very bright flashlight to fill in the shaddows. Try taking any flashlight you own (dive light or not), and check to see if you can see the spot of light in a shaddowed area.

I have two cheap princeton tek led lights that work ok during daytime dives. Keep in mind we are diving in a lower viz lakes so not a lot of light below 45 ft or so anyway and we basically just use to look under big rocks, ledges, etc.. where there is usually no light at all. I'm not needing a light to light up a big area.
