Review Nitescuba V20

[lexvil]

Another random arrival is the nitescuba v20 (v for video) I used it on two dives yesterday and this is a nice wide beam light for those of us who dive AND take pictures and maybe even those who dive TO take pictures.

I had a V20 last year that I lost in Mexico, this one seems shorter, it’s very compact and runs off of a single 26650 cell, I used it on the second setting, it was on continuously for each dive and the blue power indicator (75%+) remained on the whole time.

Some predive pics
Comes with stuff

Is a nice size

Has a ball mount, a red night light

As mentioned compact

Shown next to my previous (maybe still ) favorite the D710V, it does take up less space than the 710 but I really like the 21700 battery of the Orca

These are on Amazon for less than $60 right now, a real nice bargain.

Which camera tray is this? Looking for something similar for my Sealife Sportdiver.

I got it on eBay, a little under $50.

I just ordered two V20s from Amazon. I see yours came with a charger, but the Amazon page doesn't show a charger included. Maybe I will pick up a 2-bay 26650 charger.

How do you find the battery life?

I’ve found all of the batteries that came with nite scuba lights to be among the better end of the scale, I think not including the charger is great since I usually throw them away, buy one of these

That is a screen shot since we can’t link to Amazon here, excellent charger that will work with most dive light batteries you find in todays lights.

Thanks! I have a 2-bay XTAR charger for my 18650 dive lights and love it. Will the one above charge a 26650?

I recently got the V20 and can confirm it is packaged with a charger that will charge a single 26650 or a single 18650 battery.

It works with 18650, 21700, 26650 and even the 16340
