D530 Scuba Dive Light, 1500 Lumens, 7 Degrees Narrow Beam Angle, Titanium Alloy Side Button Switch, 3 Lighting Modes, with Battery Indicator, for Underwater 150 Meters Diving

The ORCATORCH D530 is a solidly built and simple to use dive torch. This review is being written after using the torch on 10 dives with depths ranging from 22-100 feet, where it performed flawlessly. All of the photos included in the review were shot using the D530 as the non-ambient light source. As you can see from the photos, it emits a crisp, cool, whitish light that does a great job of cutting through the water column and into dark spaces. It can be a little harsh for photography, but with the light on the low setting and angled properly it can provide an appropriately warm light for a subject (see artificially lit Albino Leaf Scorpion Fish photo). This light is perfect as a compact primary dive light for recreational dives or a secondary/back up light for more advanced dives. The battery life seems very long with the included Orcatorch battery and I never experienced dimming even on 3 tank dive days with the light running often. This light gets used as a primary now when I do not require a higher power primary light, and the Orcatorch D530 has replaced my previous secondary light as it is smaller, yet delivers more lumens and it's light temperature seems to allow for more penetration. Great little light, highly recommended.

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.

This is a great light, especially for the price. It works well, is easy to turn on and off (even with gloves on), and delivers a powerful beam. I live in the northeastern US, so I’m mostly diving in quarries and the bay, so dive lights are often necessary to be able to see my buddies in low visibility. This light worked great and allowed others to know where I was throughout our dives. Unfortunately in low viz with a lot of particulates in the water, the brightness doesn’t really help ME to see much further, but was great for helping me to perform tasks like untying buoys while close to the ropes. It is very lightweight, so easy to hold steady with one hand while working. The battery has been holding up over several dives without recharging as well.

I bought this flashlight for looking around my property more than any kind of water use. It works really well. It has a strong button. Its durable and made from strong Aluminium. I love its smaller size. It is incredibly bright. It shows colors well. It is easy to adjust how bright it is. It just has 1 button and a high and low setting.

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.

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

I ordered 3, 2 work well, one does not. Asked the suplier, but did not answer...

Provata in mare per pesca subacquea in tana, ha un ottimo fascio di luce, ed è maneggevole. Non ho testato ancora la durata della batteria.
