ORCATORCH D530 Scuba Dive Light 1500 Lumens, Rechargeable Titanium Alloy Diving Flashlight with Waterproof IP68, Diving Flashlight 3 Lighting Modes for Underwater 150m Diving (6500K Cool White Light

I purchased this light right before a trip to the Bahamas. I bought it primarily as a backup light to my expensive bulky canister light. But quickly found it to be a better option to use as a primary light. Simply because of the fact it was small. Easy to store. And just as bright as my primary. The narrow beam made it great for cutting through the water like a scissors through paper. After reading multiple reviews online I figured I would bite the bullet and see what this little light had to offer. When I received the light in the mail I was quick to open the package. It was very well packaged and I noticed that the light was very well built. The aluminum housing, the rechargeable battery, the extra lube and o-ring were a bonus. The light came to me charged but I threw a charge on it just to be safe as I was leaving for my trip. Once we did our first night dive I realized I might as well have left my canister at home. Not once did I use my canister light. I chose this little guy as my primary for the trip. It was everything I had needed and not once the whole trip did I need to charge the battery. I did a total of three night dives for close to an hour a piece. I couldn't believe how nice this light functioned. Between dives I stored it in my BCD pocket. Tucked away, yet easily accessible. I was a little concerned that the salt water might have some effect on the light. I am usually a freshwater diver so salt worries me at times. But to my amazement it worked flawlessly without any issues. At depth or out of the water. I could see this light being used for many things. It's rugged design. Bright LEDs. And size make it a very versatile light. I will be purchasing another light simply to have as a backup to my backup. Never in a million years did I think something so powerful could come in something so small. I would highly recommend this to every diver to have in their arsenal of equipment. I will definitely be looking at other orca lights in the future. This is a brand that is going to make it big in the diving industry. Guaranteed.

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.

This light is great. I purchased this light for a Monterey Bay dive trip. We just finished. Anyone that knows Monterey knows you can have decent days and terrible days with regard to visibility. This was a terrible day. Visibility was around 10'. The OrcaTorch D530 fit the bill perfectly. The OrcaTorch D530 helped out immensely. It was overcast as well as poor visibility, so having a light was paramount. This thing throws some light. The 1200 lumens and narrow beam pattern help to penetrate less clear water like we have in California. With more stuff in the water, a wide beam would get blown out. Not in this case. The D530 cuts right through it. A few bullet points: - I have a ScubaPro light as well as the OrcaTorch TD01. I used those most of the time. Not now. The OrcaTorch will become the primary and ScubaPro will become the backup. This is for recreation only. If I was cave diving, a cannister light would be the way to go. The TD01 will still stay on my head as well. Never have too much light in some conditions. - The D530 has a quick and easy button for turning on and off. A single push and the light comes on at the brightest setting (1300 lumens). Push again and lumens drop to 380 lumens. Push a third time and the light turns off. My ScubaPro requires the front lense housing to be turned to turn the light on and off. That requires two hands. The OrcaTorch can be used with one hand, which is very nice. - I did not have any time at all where the light accidentally came on by itself. I could have used the safety lock feature (hold power button for 5 seconds to prevent accidental activation). This was not needed. If you are going to carry this in your dive bag wit the battery installed, it would be a good idea to activate this feature. - I love the use of 18650 batteries. I have a bunch of those for other devices, so being able to have a few on hand for multiple dives would be great. - Similar to other OrcaTorches that I own, the 18650 battery has a USB plug so no separate charger required (cable comes with the light). - The spare parts are a huge plus. I store the light in my OrcaTorch TD01 case. Keeps the light well organized for storage or transport. - Shipping was great and the box arrived in excellent condition. - This would also make a great non-SCUBA light. It is all metal and very bright. I would have zero issues carrying this in a go bag or on a camping trip. Piece of mind knowing it is waterproof in case I end up in the water at some point.

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.

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

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.

I’ve been using the Orcatorch D530 for several dives now, and it’s exactly what I was looking for. Nice primary light for recreational diving or a good back up light for tech diving. The 1300 lumens are plenty bright. It cuts right through murky water and is perfect for signaling your buddy or looking into tight crevices. The build quality feels rock solid, and the switch is easy to operate even with thick gloves. Great value for the money!
