I would buy this product again

This is a good, compact liked that easily fits in a pocket. Bright at close range but loses some intensity at distance.

Great light

This is a great diving light. It is small, yet very bright. It could be used both as a primary or a backup.

Very good light for the price

I prefer to night dive with a light in this range rather than really bright lights; I also prefer a relatively narrow beam rather than a wide beam. As I take pictures, I need to be able to turn my light off with one hand -- I need a switch, not two hands to rotate the front bezel. This light fits the bill. I got about 4 hours burn on fresh AA's. My "con" is that I can't put rechargeable batteries in this light. If anyone knows how, let me know. When I use my rechargeable batteries, I have to force the battery pack in and it is almost impossible to remove.

Great bright light

I have a home-made forearm mount designed for hands-free use of a torch light. I use to mount my Impact XL on the mount, but this is a backup light and I wanted a primary (brighter) torch light to use instead (as my Princeton Tec Shockwave II is a pistol grip). So far the Torrent has worked wonderfully. Solid, bright light but still compact enough to attach to my forearm mount. I did have a problem with the switch on the first one they sent, but Leisure Pro was very responsive and replaced it. No problems so far with the replacement.

Really bright, good size. Solid

I have taken this on 3 night dives now. Very easy to operate under water (switch on or off if you want to see any glowing phos). The light outshone all my dive buddies with a nice white light. Wondering how it fades over time but nice and solid and didnt leak. Other dive buddies torches exploded OMG!

Reliable good light for price.

Got this on special and liked LED when compared with Halogen and Xenon lights dive friends had. Good solid feel in hands. Worked fine at depth. Would Recommend for price. Would make great second light for the big light crowd and good first light for anyone else.

Princenton Tec LED review

I purchased and used this light on some cavern dives, and a night dive. Worked flawlessly. Small, very bright, and reliable. I would definitely purchase again. Switch activated so there is no chance of flooding it when turning it on/off underwater. Also has a lock so that it doesn't turn on in transit.

Good light

I recently purchased and used this light for a night dive in Cozumel. I was pleased with it's light weight and high intensity. It performed well and I had no problems with it. It sure beats having to lug around a heavy light especially with the airline weight restrictions.

Works great and compact

Works great for close-up viewing or looking into dark holes. Compact and easy to operate.

It's a light bright light

This is the first light I have owned. I have used it as a primary light on a couple night dives so far. It is light, compact, and very bright. My dive buddy's bulky 6 C cell halogen was not as bright as this LED light, but the light produced by the LED does not show colors as vividly as the halogen.

Great compact primary light

First product I've purchased from Leisure Pro. Fast delivery to Australia. Even with a $40 shipping cost the light was $20 cheaper than purchasing locally, with the Bonus smaller Princeton Tec thrown in! Will purchase from Leisure Pro again!

Great Backup Light

I purchased and use this light as my first backup for Technical Wreck Diving. I like the compact size, and bright 3 watt LED. It works great.

Great light

I've used this light underwater just as much as above water. Works great everytime. The beam is great; not to wide but with a tight spot as well. Batteries will last forever.

The Torrent LED Dive Light was designed for the diver who wants high performance in a smaller package.
