EVOLVA FUTURE TECHNOLOGY Professional Scuba Diving Flashlight Dive Torch Underwater 100 Meter Cree XM-L2 New T6 LED 900 Lumens

Evolva Future Technology Professional Scuba Diving Flashlight Dive Torch Underwater 100 Meter Cree XM-L2 New T6 LED 900 Lumens ( Torch + Battery + Charger ) All in One PackageI received the light literally hours before my flight to the British Virgin Islands and long awaited SCUBA dives. The short story: It is an awesome light, extremely bright, very durable, easy to use, took it down to 85 feet in the ocean without issue. I'm ex-military and I'd say this is close to, if not, military grade equipment. We did some night diving. The other 4 divers had rented lights (torches) from the local dive shop. This easily blew those lights away. The dive shop was selling the same lights my dive buddies had rented for over $70. Those lights were only 300 lumens each. At $40 for 900 lumens this light is a bargain. One of the other divers remarked that my light was like a spot light.I used the light on both day and night dives. During the day, I was able to illuminate dark crevasses in the coral and wrecks and see things I would have never seen otherwise. At night, I was able to see everything!I purchased this after looking at many dive lights on Amazon and at my local dive shops. Many of the other lights on Amazon looked cheap and the lights at the dive shops that had similar lumens were ridiculously expensive. I was very apprehensive about ordering this light since there were only 3 reviews at the time of my purchase: one of those was from a "free product in exchange for an 'unbiased' review" review that was useless for SCUBA divers and neither of the other two reviewers had actually used the light (torch) while SCUBA diving. Furthermore, there weren't any pictures showing this light actually being used by a SCUBA diver. This still seemed to be the best light at this price point. So I took a chance. I'm glad I did!I've attached 3 images. Two showing the light actually being used in sea water at about 70 feet. The water temperature was about 83 degrees Fahrenheit. (I took it down to 85 feet but don't have pictures of me using the light at that depth.) The other picture is me using the light for some night snorkeling. It was taken from the top deck of our chartered boat looking down at me. You can see how bright the light is.As an unexpected bonus, the battery charger can also be used as a backup power source for your phone!! There are two ports on the charger, one micro-USB port to charge the battery itself, and a "normal" USB port which you can connect to your phone. So if the battery is already charged, simply connect your phone to the USB port. This was really helpful in the San Juan airport as it was next to impossible to find an outlet!!The only con is that the package does not come with a wall plug adapter. This isn't really a problem as I'm sure most people have a bunch of them hanging around from old cell phones or ipods/ipads or whatnot.

Light is very bright. I purchased this as a backup dive light. I also have two brand new 18650 Li-Ion UltraFire batteries. I ran several tests of this light using a freshly fully charged battery. The light left on with the high setting will only stay on about 47 minutes. This is less than desirable as a dive flashlight. Once the light cuts off at 47 minutes, turning it back on will only stay on for about 2 minutes or less. I am not sure if I have a unit with a defective switch so I have contacted the seller for their opinion. I couldn't find a manufacturer website or support email on the documentation included with the unit.I will post an update to this issue once I hear back from the vendor (or I return the unit if not).UPDATE (21-Jun-2016) After contacting Dimples Exel - they informed me that the 18650 Li-Ion UltraFire batteries that I used possibly had "fake cores". They advised me to purchse EcoGear FX 18650 (3000 mAh). Once I got those, I fully charged two of them and ran two tests. The times more than doubled. One ran 2 hours 34 minutes and the second one 2 hours and 46 minutes. I am still waiting on delivery of the two 26650 batteries that I ordered - hoping those will give at least an additional hour (unless they have "fake cores" since they are coming from China).Overall I am very happy with the dive light. Next test is to take it diving and see if it will leak at about 80 feet. I will update once I do that test as well.UPDATE (15-Jul-2016) I purchased a second light (with the battery and charger) in order to retest their claim of 5 hours/50 minutes burn time on high. Using two different lights and two different EVOLA batteries - I discharged them in the light first, then recharged each EVOLA battery using the included charger (one at a time). I then set both lights on HIGH and started my stopwatch. Both only lasted 3 hours and 16 minutes. They both went out almost within seconds of each other.I think this is a great light even though their claim to just under 6 hours is not true. It's a little over half of that. I think I can say this is a valid test BECAUSE I used their batteries and their charger.I agree with the other diver that I had not taken this under water yet - just have not had to opportunity to get diving yet. I was more concerned with burn time on the battery because I wanted to be able to do several day dives and a night dive without having to swap batteries. I think the 3 hour time will get me there.

Just got this. Very happy. Haven't taken it diving yet but I've used tens of dive torches and while not one of those $200 underwater video torches, it sure beats all the cheaper chinese 18650-battery-type models (it will even accept a single 26650). The switch is well built (magnetic, spring loaded). Only "concern" for underwater photography use (and diving in general) it the beam is quite comcentrated (no "softening"/scattering lens) so may create "white spot effect" when shooting umderwater. But overall great flashlight. Not excessively big. Good for outdoors/camping/kayaking in general as well.

This is an awesome light and an incredible value. It has a magnetic switch to turn it on and off, 2 modes of brightness and a SOS function. The rechargeable battery seems to have good life. I dove with it once so far on about a 45 min dive and it worked good. I usually hang this from my BC for ease of use. It is very bright and can be used as a primary light or lightweight backup. The battery charges quickly and can also be used as a auxillary power source for your cell phone or other device with a mini USB port. The price is incredible for a light this bright. Do not hesitate to buy. This is way nicer than my Dorcy dive light.

Have it for 2 years or so and something around 300 dives. The flashlight is perfect it is way sturdier than it looks at first glance... bought it because needed a dive light (I work as diving instructor), so far not a single problem, actually still using the original battery. It says rated to 40m (130 ft) deep, I have took it down to 42m (about 137 ft) and no problem at all, it is very useful to spot critters inside deep cracks or holes on the reef. I am very satisfied and would buy again and again and...
