how far down in the water can this flashlight go? depth wise until it will leak?

I haven't dropped in the water yet, but they say it floats. I don't think it is meant to be submerged.

The flashlight is sold with 'waterproof' and 'floating'.. From past experience this means casual or momentary exposure or contact with water. Diving gear, including flashlights or cameras, that has been tested under 'SO MANY ATMOSPHERES OF PRESSURE' will provide a depth the item will remain "waterproof' to or will provide a depth over time <ie will be waterproof at 300feet/ meters for 2hours or whatever. Would suggest that you contact the manufacturer on whether they have done testing or have certification <often by independent testing labs, like Pittsburg Testing Lab, places like UL or FM are only concerned with SAFETY> The flashlight is sold with 'waterproof' and 'floating'..

I just dropped it in the sink - a couple of feet.I was not intending to go scuba diving with it.

I only went 8 feet deep. I have it for emergencies and not for regular submersive use like diving. I think you might want a more specialized flashlight for a specific use underwater, however, it has not leaked yet. It is great in the rain!!! LOL

I only tested it out in a hot tub and a pool so at 12 feet it gave me no problems. However, I'm sure it can go much deeper, the case is quite sturdy. Hope this helps.

It's very bright for such a small light. I would say the beam shines 150 yds before faltering off. If you really need a tight compact beam for ultra long distance, this wouldn't be a good fit. I'm guessing this has a 20' diameter spot at 100yrs. Also, I'm very surprised at the operating time before charges. It's very good. Build quality is excellent, marine quality. I was tired of buying cheap flashlights that only last a few years. This will last a few decades.

It is water resistant and not water proof. The flashlight has a O ring. Trustfire has a waterproof flashlight to scuba dive, with TWO O rings, giving a perfect seal. regards

Mr. Cappiello, If anything, I will take an educated guess, is under 1 inch. Do know their website, and perhaps that can help better: http://www.techlite-flashlight.com. Best of lucks.

As others have answered, I do not know if it is waterPROOF, not having immersed it; however, I believe it to be somewhat water resistant. The o-ring seal between the head and battery compartment assembly is only tight when the flashlight is turned on (twist head slightly counterclockwise from battery end). It wouldn't make a diving light anyway. None the less, this is a great light, do not let water concerns stop you.

No!Will be OK in a heavy rain but no good for total submersion. Tekna Light makes several lights that are dive rated.

I found this youtube review, it's safer to use down to 50 feet, but these guys took it down to 130 feet and was still working. I would say to use caution, perhaps it's ok at 130 feet for a few seconds. If you want something for diving, it's always advisable to buy something that has a specific waterproof housing.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FN7LQvCZm8M

Actually, it takes a single rechargeable 18650 lithium ion battery which is 3.7 volts. You'll need to purchase the battery and charger separately. I recommend the green Panasonic battery for reasons to long to explain here. While the flashlight is not as bright as it claims to be, it is still very bright and has a pretty focused beam. The biggest problem is the waterproof claim. It will leak if you don't replace the o-rings. At greater depths, the flawed design of having the o-ring in front of the glass instead of behind it causes it to definitely leak no matter the o-ring. Good for snorkeling perhaps but not for scuba. I destroyed mine trying. Actually, it takes a single rechargeable 18650 lithium ion battery which is 3.7 volts. You'll need to purchase the battery and charger separately.

It's not a wide beam, kind of a spot light that has some distance. If you are down on a deep dive 70+ feet it does have a narrow spot light effect. There is plenty of candle light power, but as any certified diver knows "Carry a Back Up" and really, Carry a Back up. Hope this helps.

The cord is 50 feet long and should be more than enough as light in deep water is the limiting factor anyway

Ditto on the china, just get it, it's a great underwater flashlight, you won't regret it. One thing tho, it drains my battery if I leave it in so I only put it in when using to dive under my boat, not a deal breaker

This flashlight is not waterproof. If it were waterproof, it would have said so in the description.

I don't know how deep underwater it can go. But if it is anything close to a disposable underwater camera, then I am guessing 10-15 ft. The more pressure it is under, the more likely water is to seep in. I did drop my phone in a pitcher of beer and it was fine.

I know the flashlight is waterproof because I submerged it for about 20 minutes after I first bought it to make sure. I don't know how well it will performs while scuba diving or what Depth but I do know that I've dropped plenty of fluids on it at work. Aircraft fuels, hydraulic fluids or oils and have dropped it a few times and it performs very well probably the best flashlight ever owned.

NOT GOOD TO SUBMERGE!! Water RESISTANT. Do not even by this flashlight (waste of money!!) I'm returning mine. 25-100 lumens (NOT 1800)

Not so sure the seals would hold up. I'd say this is more of a water-resistant IP67 flashlight, not an actual IP68 waterproof. But you should try it. It is so cheap you could buy 4 of these for the price of a waterproof known brand flashlight. It is extremely bright.
