Handy

Used on about a dozen dives. Compact and rugged. Beam is too weak for serious use but adequate as backup.

This worked as advertised

This flashlight worked well but has a weak light. Didn't know what to expect but it worked the whole night (3 dives) and then some. The electricity went out in the hotel we were staying at and it worked for that as well. I would recommend for a back up but I plan to ge a brighter light.

Simply the BEST!

I Love this little light! You really should get this one!!! My son (who dives) gave me my 1st one and it throws a beam like nothing else! The bulb lasted almost 3 years, even though I use it a couple of times a week, when it was time to order one I also bought another light for our sailboat.

Simply the BEST!

I LOVE this powerful little light! My son (who dives) gave me my first light and it throws a beam like nothing else on the market, when I needed to buy a new bulb I found LeisurePro and got an extra one for our sail boat.

Nice backup

because of the twist on and off switch, light may come on when diving deep due to pressure on the lens.

Princeton Tec, Tec-40 by Princeton Tec

This is a replacement for my old Tec-40 which i used for 5 years under extreme salt water and dirty conditions before finally losing it - it appears to be just a good as the original although maybe a little harder to clean - great focused beam for seeing lines at night

great little light

This light is bright because it has a halogen blub I was never a big fan of small flashlights until this one. I find myself looking for this flashlight when I have others to use. thanks

Backup light

By Douglas Y.

Great back up light.

Dive light

By ScubaNick

The light is great for a bcd. It is rugged and reliable.

With the same ruggedness and rubber over-mold as the Impact XL, the Tec 40 with halogen bulb provides a warmer light underwater. This handheld is great for backup, or as a primary daytime light, as the warm light is phenomenal for restoring lost colors on the reef. With a classic dive light look and feel, the twist bezel activated switch prevents accidental on/off. This compact unit provides the highest power-to-weight ratio of any light in its class. The non-slip rubber grip ensures you'll be able to securely hold the light, even if you're diving at 330' (100 meters

The Halogen Lamp produces 28 Lumens of Brightness and provides a visible light beam to 354.3' (108 meters) on land. The light is powered by 4 AA Alkaline Batteries (included) that provide a 5 Hour Burn Time with a Focused Narrow Beam. The Tec-40 weighs 6.38 oz. (181 g) with batteries, comes with an Adjustable Wrist Lanyard, is Depth Rated to 330' (100 meters) IPX8, is made from high impact resistant polycarbonate plastic and rubber comes in multiple color choices and an owner's manual.
