The C-Lite 8 LED uses the most sophisticated LED technology currently available to deliver a level of performance previously unavailable in a light of this size. Three 5-watt LEDs provide a shockingly bright, even spot beam for 10 hoursor more with no waning effect. Ikelite selected the highest quality white LEDs for maximum brightness and durability. Highly efficient drivers yield an LED lifespan of 50 - 100 times the life of standard incandescent lamps, making replacement bulbs virtually obsolete.

The C-Lite 8 LED lights burns almost twice as long on a set of batteries than its halogen counterparts. Less frequent battery replacements help both your pocketbook and the environment. Sophisticated driver circuitry regulates light output for overall performance that is superior to many lights of similar size and rating. The contour handle is over molded with soft rubber for comfort. The large rotating switch and sliding lock afford easy operation even when wearing abulky glove. A rubber shroud protects the front lens while blocking distracting side reflections. Light case is made of durable plastic and is depth rated to 300' (90 meters).

The light runs cool and is usable above or below water with the same intensity for the same burn time. When the batteries are nearly drained, the light continues to emit a lower intensity output for hours or even days--long after incandescent lights have quit. This extended illumination period can make all the difference in an emergency situation making this light perfect for any diving situation or outdoor adventure.

Comments about Ikelite Ikelite C-LITE 8 LED:

Only used a couple of times but seems to be quite bright once in a dark space such as a wreck. Switch seems flimsy but I've been turning it off and on quite frequently and hasn't broke yet . I would recommend.

Comments about Ikelite Ikelite C-LITE 8 LED:

It leaked on the first dive. Once I cleaned and dried it it started to work again but leaked again on the second dive and dead now. It's very bright and I was happy with it when it was working.

Comments about Ikelite Ikelite C-LITE 8 LED:

I haven't used many dive lights, but I've compared a few. This one is very bright and well focused. The LEDs are white and emit light evenly with in the beam radius. I love the pistol grip and think it's great for controlling the beam.I like to explore and take my time on dives so I use a light a lot. For that reason I like that it uses standard C cell batteries. In comparison some lights use camera batteries and at $16 each that gets a little expensive.There are only two slight draw backs are that the switch is a little hard to use with gloves (the lock useless with them) and it's a little heavy. However, I'm not planning on using another light any time soon.

Comments about Ikelite Ikelite C-LITE 8 LED:

Great light. Very even coverage, large concentrated spot with quite powerful wider angle.

Used on deeper reefs and small caves, lights up a large viewing area. Good colour balance, warmer than my other LED torches.
Very happy with performance
