Review OrcaTorch D530 - Is it for real???

[BoltSnap]

I use some of Orcatorch lights for technical diving.

Do you remember which ones?

Do you remember which ones?

The 630 cable light. I have the 920? videolight and I use a 720 as backuplight for not too long dives.

Ok. Repeated experiment. Made sure all the lights are on the brightest setting. All batteries charged equally and scrambled. S12 appears to be the brightest from the start, but dies by 2 hr mark. D550 went somewhere between 2.5 and 3 hrs. D530 while visibly dimmer at the end went 17+ hrs runtime. Pretty amazing.

Thanks. I was looking at the D550 but I'm considering the 530 now.

Product page says there's a safe lock function that prevents mis-operation. How does that work?

If you hold the button down for 5 seconds, the light blinks twice and goes into lock mode. You get it out of lock mode by double-pressing the button; it's a little finicky with how fast to press, but it works.
