Wurkkos Diving Flashlight DL06 Max 15000 Lumen Scuba Dive Light, 100°Beam Angle Diving Light with 6 LED, IPX8 Waterproof Dive Torch 100m Underwater Flashlight Neutral White(5000K)

After having this light for a short time now, and using it in daytime, nighttime, and underwater, I have to say, I’ve come to love this light. It is very well built, feeling very durable in your hand. This light originally appealed to me due to the fact that it is built for deep sea diving. I do not do deep-sea diving myself, however, I wanted to have this light due to the fact that has extreme water resistance. I wanted to add a light to my collection that I could take basically anywhere outdoors and not have to worry about it getting ruined (to the lake, beach, etc.). I am happy to say that it has survived everything I have put it through this far.Another thing that was amazing to me was this flashlights battery capacity. It uses and ships with two 26650 batteries as well as a charger for them. On low setting, this flashlight is rated for almost 30 hours of constant usage at around 300 lm which has been adequate for most of my needs so far. This does not have USB-C charging capability built into the flashlight allowing for better water protection. This flashlight also comes with some inserts to allow for use of two 18650 cells which is appealing to me because I have lots of those batteries around right now, so I can use those as spares if needed. Another cool thing that I have come to really enjoy with this flashlight is it’s magnetic switch. This is definitely unique and I have not used a flashlight with anything similar. This magnetic on off switch provides a near complete seal from outside the light. It is also very fun to actuate, and I wish they would use these in other flashlights as well.I think this flashlight produces a ton of light, I do not know if it fully reaches 5000 lm, but it is easily brighter than my FC 12, and TS 11 flashlights which have outputs of around 2000 lm. I would describe the beam as a good mix between flood and spot. It’s overall throw is much less than a TS 11 and even the FC 12, but has much better flood capabilities than either flashlight. This light is very large, and feels hefty while holding it in your hand. It honestly feels like that you could use it as a hammer due to how well built it feels while using it. This is definitely not an every day carry flashlight as it is too large to fit in most pockets, but this is not what it was intended for. I have found that I enjoy using it in the early morning or late at night going on walks or walking to my car.This flashlight fits into my life for a few reasons. I plan on using this light to assist me in my outdoor activities, including: walks, hikes, camping, going to the beach and the lake. I think this will make a really good emergency preparedness flashlight as well, especially if you live in a flood prone area as it will easily survive those types of scenarios. I have also really enjoyed showing this flashlight off to others as it looks and feels really cool and gets a lot of compliments.Overall, I would highly recommend this flashlight to anyone who is worried about having extreme water resistance, and a very durable and rugged flashlight. It is very bright and has a very long battery life, and is compatible with the 26650 and 18650 batteries with the insert so spares are fairly accessible.

A very powerful flashlight with a very simple and easy to use user interface. 3 modes, low, medium and high selected by a rotating ring. Even the low, listed as 1000 lumens, is powerful enough for 90%+ of normal flashlight uses as it is far brighter than a classic 4 or 5 D cell Maglite of years ago and has a claimed run time of over 6 hours with the included batteries on the low setting. The charging port is hidden under the aluminum tail cap so is much better protected than the tethered rubber caps on most USB chargeable flashlights. If you need more run time then get a spare set of batteries as this light uses individual replaceable 21700 batteries rather than a proprietary battery pack. Keep a spare set of charged batteries and you have over 12 hours of light available.Being a dive light rated for 100 meters water resistance this should make a excellent emergency light when the weather turns against you. It should ignore rain or inadvertent submersion and the quite wide flood beam reveals the terrain in front of you much better than a very narrow tunnel type beam in my opinion.The light appears to be quite solidly constructed and actually is a couple of ounces heavier than a Acebeam X50 2.0 that I have compared it to. At maximum light output both are overkill for most users and uses but that also means long run times at reduced brightness levels.

Wurkkos built a home run diving light with this light. This has some improved features over other dive lights and even some older Wurkkos diving lights. The top 3 features that stood out to me are listed below:1) USBC Charging built in - This is a major win and better than having to use a charging adapter.2) Double O rings to help prevent water from getting into the light. Wurkkos usually does this but I feel this for their dive lights but I think it's vital so that if one o ring leaks, the other could prevent water from shorting the light. They also include some extras so you can inspect them after use.3) Longer head which gives more of a spotty beam instead of a floody beam. This is so vital for underwater when you are kicking up sand and muck. A flood beam will make all of the particles in the water reflect and you won't see anything. This having a spot style beam allows you to see what you point the light at. This is so helpful for water use.Generally speaking, this light is great. It's got a commanding hand feeling that screams quality. The button actuation is really smooth and uses magnets so it'll work well in water. The light is a neutral white which will be great for true color reproduction (think fish spotting or looking for coral). My only complaint about the light is the long charging time, but with a large battery, that's to be expected. It could have also been my charger too, so I guess I can't really fault the light for that.This light is clearly for divers and people who will be using this in the water but if you live in a place that gets a lot of rain, I think this could be a good option for you as well. This would be a perfect light to keep in a boat or jet ski or even in the back of your truck where it may get exposed to the elements.
