WindFire Dive Torch – Super Bright Rechargeable Diving Flashlight with 3 Modes & Power Indicator, IPX8 Waterproof, Underwater Scuba & Snorkeling Torch for Diving, Lightweight & Compact (Blue)

Brilliant torch. On off button makes it easy to use.

So apparently this torch is for diving , but I just wanted a truly waterproof torch which hopefully this will be ideal . You get a plastic box with the torch inside , there is also the battery which is separate and a separate charger , I suppose they are using a separate battery , as it would have been difficult to fully seal a charging port on an integrated battery ? You also get an instruction booklet and a long chunky strap ( probably more use when diving with it , but I have put it on and I am using it) I fully charged the battery first , the charger has a red light when charging and goes out when charged , the charger feels very cheap , but it does the job , in fact the plastic case feels very cheap too. The torch itself feels good , all aluminum and just the right size and weight , really sits in your hand nicely . To turn on just push the power button , there are three modes , High , low and flashing , unfortunately you will have to cycle through all these to turn off . Around the on button it lights up and this tells you the charge of the battery , green means fully charged , red means low etc etc The beam pattern is quite concentrated and you can not adjust it , it is fixed . It also comes with some spare seals for the torch , where you take it apart to get to the battery , although there are three seals there and they only had two in the packet of spare ? Good torch , but I feel it is overpriced at the time of me getting it

Bought as a backup torch to my primary light. Took it to a depth of 40m (well withing maximum depth use) where on surfacing water had entered the lense and flooded the torch.

Please see video with this review for close up of torch and of torch being powered on, going through the 3 different modes and powered off. Please also see photos with this review for torch dimensions and weight and for box case and contents. At 12cm long and weighing just 163g this torch is ideal size for diving. Beam on high is very bright. I really like that it has the traffic light status around the on/off button to show how much battery is remaining (per photos and video). Comes with battery and charger. Battery compartment on torch has 3 grommet seals on the screw thread (2 x spare grommet seals included) to keep inside waterproof. The case is not the best quality but for a torch at this price level it would be unfair to criticise it for having plastic case and not aluminium since case does the job of storing torch and accessories and has foam padded lining.

good item

First: an admission. I didn't want this for scuba diving. I wanted it for my job as a guide in a sometimes gloomy Scottish castle, where I like people to be able to see what I'm talking about. I need something small, powerful and rechargeable, and this ticks all the boxes. Like most metal-cased torches with rechargeable batteries, it's quite heavy, but not unwieldy with it. It has a concentrated central beam and a more diffuse outer nimbus, which suits my needs extremely well. To recharge it you have to open the torch, remove the battery and then recharge it in the small recharger supplied with the torch (or, presumably, any suitable recharger). As it's a waterproof this makes perfect sense, and is no real bother. The control is very simple: one button which is ON/DIM/SOS/OFF and you have to reel through them all to switch it off: there is no shortcut - but again, this is not a problem. As it's actually marketed as torch for scuba diving, I did check that it is, indeed, waterproof and functions properly underwater. I suspended it about 12 inches down in the icy cold rainwater butt in the garden (which was literally just above freezing) and left it there, switched on, for two hours. When I came back to it, it was still shining brightly: photographic proof supplied - which also shows that bright central beam well. The torch comes in a neat carry case with the recharger, extra silicon sealing rings (it has three fitted to ensure a waterproof seal) and a robust lanyard/wrist strap. It's an impressive little torch and very well worth the asking price. Highly recommended.

I have various LED torches, so I was delighted to have the opportunity to review this one and add it to my collection. The torch and accessories arrived in a slightly flimsy plastic storage case which I guess would be useful for keeping all the bits together when not in use. The battery is supplied separately. It's an 18650 cell marked with a 4000 mAh capacity. A USB powered single cell charger is supplied (a nice touch) but I have a multipurpose charger so I just used that to charge it. As this battery can't be charged inside the torch due to its 60m depth rating, it's useful to have the storage box to make sure you don't lose the charger. The battery is fitted by simply unscrewing the two halves of the torch body. The joint includes three O-rings for its waterproof seal. (Some spare O-rings are provided in the box.) A wrist strap is also supplied - probably ideal for underwater use, but a but too long and chunky for everyday on-land use. The ring in the end of the torch (machined into the metalwork) would accept any standard wrist strap/lanyard, etc. In use the torch has three settings: bright, dimmer and "SOS flashing. Slightly annoyingly you have to cycle through all these three modes every time - there is no "long press for off" or similar functionality. My only slight gripe (and it is made clear in the item photos) is that the beam pattern has a VERY distinct middle brighter area. Perhaps this is the standard for diving torches, but for general purpose on-land use I do prefer a more evenly lit beam pattern. So for this reason (perhaps slightly harshly) I'm deducting one star. Otherwise, it's a very nice bit of kit.
