Careful where you shine this light when night diving, or you’ll quickly become unpopular. It’s blazing, with a hot-spot meter reading higher than any others in our test, though some had broader main beams. The push-button switch on the hand-mounted light head illuminates when on, and toggles between three well-spaced power levels. While it’s tec bright, its standard battery — rated for 1.9 hours on the highest setting — is rated for a more rec-friendly max depth of 130 feet (there’s a range of optional batteries with ratings to 490 feet).
