I went on my annual trip to Mexico this year where I do a combination of ocean, night and cenote diving. I thought I’d get a newer back up light to my older corded Watershot Strykr that I’ve used for years as I have noticed other divers using smaller handhelds that seemed pretty bright. After getting the Orcatorch D550 all I can say is WOW! At 1000 lumen it’s brighter than my corded light – so much so that I ended up using it as my primary light for the rest of the trip saving the hassle of attaching the battery and dealing with a light head and cord. Battery life was fantastic – two 45-60 minute cenote dives didn’t faze it at all – the battery indicator still showed it was ready for more. The beam has a great spot with a lot of light spill that helped illuminate more open caverns. It has a bottom mounted button that easily cycles through 100%, 50% and strobe modes. The 50% mode is necessary as at 100% the light is blindingly bright to look at your computer or gauges. The lower power mode is also good when visibility is down as it reduces backscatter.The light itself is very solidly made and is the right size to feel comfortable in your hand. It’s sized to fit into a pocket though I kept mine clipped to a D-ring when not in use. It comes with a soft Goodman glove that I found myself using when I had my cameras with me. I was also impressed to see that when the head was unscrewed to remove the 18650 battery for recharging it has 3 O-rings to ensure a good seal.I also have to give a shout out to the all the extras that come with the light. It comes well packed in a hard case with foam cutouts. It includes 2 3400mAh 18650 rechargeable batteries and charger; wrist lanyard, soft Goodman glove; extra O-rings; and a documentation packet.This is an excellent light at an excellent price point.

Overall: This dive-light should perform great as either a primary or a backup light. Construction and water-proofing is solid. Brightness is great. Checks all the boxes for a $100 dive-light.Brightness: This is 1000 real/accurate lumens. It's equivalent or brighter than other legitimate high-quality 1000 lumen lights I've bought. And brighter than some cheap "3000 lumen" lights, with fake lumen-ratings. For a single-cell 18650, you probably won't find any light that's actually above 1000 lumens. One of the photos you'll see a comparison to another 1000 lumen light, with Oratorch on the right-side.Construction: Feels like a solid light, decent weight to it, no flaws that I can see. Switch certainly feels like a magnetic switch, and should last.Water proofing: Has 3-layers of o-rings, and comes with spares. The 150m claim is probably accurate, though I haven't taken it that deep. It'll certainly survive a 130ft dive with ease.Beam: Has both a narrow beam and good spill. This is perfect for a medium-range beam. For something like photography, I'd probably choose a wider/smoother beam, but different flashlights for different purposes. Look at the photos to get an idea of the beam-spread.Batteries: Comes with 2x 3400MAH 18650 batteries, which is impressive if that's the actual MAH. I haven't timed how long the battery lasts, but it it lasts quite a while.Other: Also comes with a battery-charger, lanyard, hands-free mount, and carrying case. The hand-mount seems to work fairly well and is comfortable.If my description sounds like the kind of light you're looking for, I don't think you can go wrong with this like There are other lights that are brighter (and bigger/heavier), or better for photography, or cheaper, etc ... but that's why you get the right tool for the job. Orcatorch also has mini-lights, video-lights, and even an underwater laser I wouldn't mind trying sometime.

The case and everything in it felt really premium and high quality. I was not expecting two 18650 batteries included, too, so I have a spare. Really worth it, just need to try it out in the sea but so far so good!
