ORCATORCH D530 Dive Light 1500 Lumens SOS Signal Scuba Diving Flashlight, 7° Super Focus Beam, 3 Modes, IP68 Waterproof, 150M Underwater Torch for Night, Cave & Technical Diving (Upgraded)

I got the Orcatorch D530 from Outdoor Equipment Expert as a primary light for my dive buddy. It feels solid. Multiple O-rings seem like it'd be hard to get a hair across all of them at once, especially since the light screws closed. Two brightness settings. Full power lasted our entire dive; the status LED was still green at the end. The lower setting is still plenty bright for signaling and critter-finding, and should last an entire day. The status LED on the switch is very useful for knowing how much battery power is left. If we notice the battery is getting low, we can drop to the lower brightness so the battery would make it through the rest of the dive. That's better than lights without a status indicator, which can get very dim or cut off suddenly during a dive. It'll be a great light for travel. It's lighter weight than my old light. And the battery which comes with it has a built-in standard micro-B USB port for charging, so I don't need to pack a charger or even a special cable. If you have a USB power pack for your phone, you can use it to top off the battery between dives without needing an AC plug. The battery has LEDs in it to indicate charging or done. You can see from the photos that vis was hazy and green during our dive. I could only see my dive buddy 10' away, but I could see the D530's beam from at least twice that, so we didn't worry about getting separated. The orange rubber band around the back end is another nice touch. Usually, if you drop a dive light when it's turned off, it's gone (so, um, don't do that). Small black thing in a mostly-black ocean. But if you dropped this one, you might be able to spot the orange band on the bottom. So, overall, it's quite a nice little light. No complaints.

I've been looking for a decent secondary light. I was not disappointed. It worked awesome. The bright setting is very bright, the low setting is excellent for when you need the light but not being blinded. Since I was testing this as a backup I put it in my goodman handle, usually I'll put in a pocket or bolt snap it to my BCD. During my first dive that day I had it down to 118 feet with no issues. The construction of the light was very sturdy. The button is firm but not too tough to turn on and cycle through. I really liked the indicator light for the battery. I left it run throughout the dive and still had plenty of battery left. The battery itself is easily charged, it has a USB connection directly built into it. Plus with my other head lamp (also an OrcaTorch TD01) they are interchangeable. Overall its a great light for a great price. With the selfie photo you'll see I put the headlamp on wrong. I did a mask drill, threw it on and then took a photo. Went to turn the light on and realized I did that.

I couldn’t be happier with the OrcaTorch D530! The 1300-lumen output is impressively bright, cutting through even the murky waters of Southern California. The light provides excellent visibility and color enhancement. The white light creates a natural feel, bringing underwater scenes to life within my photographs. Build quality of the D530 is exceptional; the D530 feels robust and durable. It’s clearly designed to withstand the tough conditions of diving, thanks to its corrosion-resistant aluminum body. Battery life is another standout feature. On a full charge, it lasted long enough for multiple dives without worry. Plus, the compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry as a hand-held light or as part of my camera setup. The D530 is a reliable, high-performing dive light that will become an essential part of my dive gear. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned diver, this torch is worth every penny. Highly recommended!

This light is great. I purchased this light for a Monterey Bay dive trip. We just finished. Anyone that knows Monterey knows you can have decent days and terrible days with regard to visibility. This was a terrible day. Visibility was around 10'. The OrcaTorch D530 fit the bill perfectly. The OrcaTorch D530 helped out immensely. It was overcast as well as poor visibility, so having a light was paramount. This thing throws some light. The 1200 lumens and narrow beam pattern help to penetrate less clear water like we have in California. With more stuff in the water, a wide beam would get blown out. Not in this case. The D530 cuts right through it. A few bullet points: - I have a ScubaPro light as well as the OrcaTorch TD01. I used those most of the time. Not now. The OrcaTorch will become the primary and ScubaPro will become the backup. This is for recreation only. If I was cave diving, a cannister light would be the way to go. The TD01 will still stay on my head as well. Never have too much light in some conditions. - The D530 has a quick and easy button for turning on and off. A single push and the light comes on at the brightest setting (1300 lumens). Push again and lumens drop to 380 lumens. Push a third time and the light turns off. My ScubaPro requires the front lense housing to be turned to turn the light on and off. That requires two hands. The OrcaTorch can be used with one hand, which is very nice. - I did not have any time at all where the light accidentally came on by itself. I could have used the safety lock feature (hold power button for 5 seconds to prevent accidental activation). This was not needed. If you are going to carry this in your dive bag wit the battery installed, it would be a good idea to activate this feature. - I love the use of 18650 batteries. I have a bunch of those for other devices, so being able to have a few on hand for multiple dives would be great. - Similar to other OrcaTorches that I own, the 18650 battery has a USB plug so no separate charger required (cable comes with the light). - The spare parts are a huge plus. I store the light in my OrcaTorch TD01 case. Keeps the light well organized for storage or transport. - Shipping was great and the box arrived in excellent condition. - This would also make a great non-SCUBA light. It is all metal and very bright. I would have zero issues carrying this in a go bag or on a camping trip. Piece of mind knowing it is waterproof in case I end up in the water at some point.

I purchased this light right before a trip to the Bahamas. I bought it primarily as a backup light to my expensive bulky canister light. But quickly found it to be a better option to use as a primary light. Simply because of the fact it was small. Easy to store. And just as bright as my primary. The narrow beam made it great for cutting through the water like a scissors through paper. After reading multiple reviews online I figured I would bite the bullet and see what this little light had to offer. When I received the light in the mail I was quick to open the package. It was very well packaged and I noticed that the light was very well built. The aluminum housing, the rechargeable battery, the extra lube and o-ring were a bonus. The light came to me charged but I threw a charge on it just to be safe as I was leaving for my trip. Once we did our first night dive I realized I might as well have left my canister at home. Not once did I use my canister light. I chose this little guy as my primary for the trip. It was everything I had needed and not once the whole trip did I need to charge the battery. I did a total of three night dives for close to an hour a piece. I couldn't believe how nice this light functioned. Between dives I stored it in my BCD pocket. Tucked away, yet easily accessible. I was a little concerned that the salt water might have some effect on the light. I am usually a freshwater diver so salt worries me at times. But to my amazement it worked flawlessly without any issues. At depth or out of the water. I could see this light being used for many things. It's rugged design. Bright LEDs. And size make it a very versatile light. I will be purchasing another light simply to have as a backup to my backup. Never in a million years did I think something so powerful could come in something so small. I would highly recommend this to every diver to have in their arsenal of equipment. I will definitely be looking at other orca lights in the future. This is a brand that is going to make it big in the diving industry. Guaranteed.

I recently acquired the Orcatorch D530 and I am thrilled to share that it's a great dive torch. The build quality is great, it's very bright, and it has a tightly focused beam. It's also rechargeable and has a locking feature to prevent accidental turn-ons during travel. First and foremost, the build quality of this dive flashlight is great. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of its design, showcasing the manufacturer's commitment to delivering a top-notch product. For instance, it has a number of well placed grooves on the head of the light that make it easy to secure with a bungie to avoid it swinging around when clipped to a bcd (I attached mine to a swivel bolt snap and clipped it to my right d-ring). If you've never used a similarly bright light, you'll probably be surprised when you turn it on inside your house. The beam is tightly focused beam, making it easy to avoid shining it in your buddy's eyes or spooking marine life. Overall this torch has surpassed my expectations. I think it's a great choice for a recreational diver looking for a primary or a tech diver looking for a secondary. Pros: Excellent build quality Quite bright Tightly focused beam Convenient attachment mechanism with a swivel bolt snap Ideal for recreational divers seeking reliable and efficient lighting Cons: None observed thus far

A great little dive light. Small enough to be a backup light that will easily fit in a BCD pocket, but bright enough to act as a primary. I took it on my recent shore-diving trip to Bonaire and used it as my primary light on several night dives. The light comes with an 18650 format Li-ion battery and so is interchangeable with batteries from several other devices I have. The battery can be connected directly to a micro usb cable, so no additional charger is necessary. A new feature for me that I can see really appealing to you if you want to travel light. The battery slides into the body - but not completely (as shown in the picture). I really appreciate this! I have a competitor's light where the battery fully inserts into the body and it is a bear to remove when it need recharging. No need to shake the battery out (which invariably flies across the room)! The led-illuminated side switch is nicely placed to allow you to change light intensity under water and I really like the color coding showing remaining battery charge. Having said that, I had no difficulty completing a single tank dive (~50 min) on max brightness. The indicator light was still green after completing the dive. The flashlight has a bright central spot, surrounded by a wider lower intensity disk. It is really bright on its high setting and I would often point the center away from the item of interest and use the lower intensity ring to illuminate the scene for my GoPro camera. I am very pleased with my purchase and it should make anyone's short list when they consider buying a new dive light.

Was on the fence with mostly good reviews and took a chance. So glad I did. I don't do reviews because I don't work for free but this light deserves one. Just finished 6 days (22 dives) in Honduras. Max depth 80 ft including 3 night dives. Light was fantastic. Usually lasted 2 dives on a charge, so charged it every night. Case, charger and extras made it great to travel with and easy to pull out for TSA (required with lithium batteries). Light beam is strong even on medium setting. Many in my dive group with more expensive lights commented on how good it was. Obviously great at night, but super for overhangs and swim throughs in the day. Paired it with a clip lanyard to my BCD, worked great.

Lo utilizamos en profundidad de más de 30mts y funciono perfecto. Que no se tenga que girar para prender o apagar es otro punto a su favor

no es mi primer linterna de buceo orcatorch asi que conozco su gran trabajo para feneficiarnos a los buceadores, es de gran calidad y prestaciones la uso como linterna de reserva ya que mi primaria es otra referencia tambien de la marca. 10/10

Bien
