Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

Do not buy. The switch design is horrible. I switched the light on and off about 4 times before even entering the water and the internal mechanism broke. Good prices don't always mean good deals. Almost missed my night dive class. Now I have 2 primary UK's and 2 secondary UK's. Used on 20+ dives no issues yet. C8, D8, SL4.

Great for night dives has a primary light.

Used for dive rescue applications. Light is very bright and the two settings are handy. Light switch is easy to use and has good safety features. Looks and feels to be well made.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

My friends had the D8 and the Princeton Tech was as bright much smaller and less expensive

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

I only got 2 uses out of this light as the first time i used it to 15 meters then i used it to 18 meters this time as soon as i hit depth water flooded in and the bulb exploded. I have two other friends that had the same light and said it was not any good for them either, it constantly leaks.

good price

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

This is a good light. It's a little heavy but offers a good beam. The off/low/high beam switch can sometimes get stuck between the low/high beam mode, but possibly this is because I'm not pressing hard enough in cold water wearing gloves. I just simply move the switch back the its previous position and try again. This will correct any problem.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

Great light for night diving, scoping out nooks and crannies, and wreck penetration. Lighter than similar lights using C cells, but this is a very bright light. Having 2 brightness levels helps prolong battery life while providing that extra light when needed. The switch is stiff at first, but loosens up after being used. I would buy again.

There are brighter lights for sale but not for the price. This light was a great buy and worked very well!

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

Read a lot of good reviews about this light before purchasing it. The only negative comments were about the poor design of the cheap plastic switch to turn on/off/low/high. Well, after 3 dives with this light the switch is completely broken and now the light is worthless. The only reason I gave a ranking of 2 is because the light beam is great, but that doesn't do me any good now. Stay away from this product. Also, will be interested how LP handles this defective product.

For the money, this light is great! We have 3 in our dive gear, and we take them with us every trip.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

This is a good light for some just needing a light for looking around. Im personally a spearfisherman and found this to be a bit bulky and heavy for my type of diving. I use in with the coil lanyard and usually get to the bottom and try to find only to realize it has came out of my pocket and is dragging along. For me to use it to spot fish and shoot them is nearly impossible. I have to hold the light with one hand and rest the gun across the bottom cause the combined weight of the speargun and light is too much to fire into caves. the size of this is just too much for someone that need sto be streamlined in the water. If I could put this power output into a smaller package it would be the perfect light.

If your needing a light for a good price just to look at the pretty fish and cave dive. i would buy this in a heart beat. The 2 output setting are great on them merky days or when the sunlight is just starting to fade.

We do night dives and use this light for maximum ability to see the ocean life at night.

This light works grear for spoting lobster and grouper under ledges in dirty water.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

I use this light for locating lobsters under rocks and or inside crevases. It has a powerful beam that cuts through a lot of the kicked up sand and seaweed. The free tec 40 works as a great backup too.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

This is a great light. I went on my first night dive in St. Thomas and the light performed beautifully. The high and low beams worked great. I also bought the Aqua Quick Release Coil Lanyard which really helped with getting into and out of the water.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

This is a very good dive lantern with a relative low price. Everything is perfect but I would like it better if it had double O-ring instead of just one.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

Once you get the hang of the switch it's a very easy light to use and it comes with the TEC 40 so that is pretty nice as well.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

A great product for the buy as well as the free tec 40 light. A little heavy but when you need the light it is there.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

I have not personaaly used the light yet. I bought it mainly because of other reviews. It is compact, light, the switch is nice and the dual beam is great-be better if it was twin bulbs. Seems small to be a primary but I will not find out for a month or two. Looks to be very durable and other reviews say the same thing.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

It is a good light for all night and cave diving. The batteries will last a long time at low beam and good 6 hours at high beams. A around good light.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

Great Scuba Light, Easy to unlock, 2 power settings, Works great, Very good buy!

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

Used on a recent Caribbean trip, daylight dives. Nice for looking into nooks and cranies. Narrow beam, I look forward to trying it in murky water.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

I really like the way this light makes night diving stuff beautiful. I don't like the "blue-gray" of LEDs. When diving with others at night, my light brings out the nicest coral/sponge/critter color, and spreads the view out just enough

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

Nice light. It never failed me.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

A good, bright torch with a nice focused beam. My only complaint is the switch which is just a little klunky compared to the UK torch i have.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

I found this light inside a wreck about a month ago. Somebody must have dropped it, but I found it with a coating of silt, must have been in the wreck at 85' from between a week to a month. Image my surprise when I turned on the switch and it worked perfectly, in fact I'm still using the same batteries I found it with after 2 more wreck dives. It's now my primary light. Its relatively lightweight for a primary and the battery life is good. The illumination is not bad given the size/weight of the light. Its very waterproof and has an excellent switch design.

First use was in low visibility (Algae) lake conditions while diving a 1876 wreck.
Awesome light allowed me to view the wreck in detail.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

My Shockwave II has survived the dreaded one-year test without flooding, as so many of my other lamps have. I use it at night snorkeling in the Caribbean, so the light output on high has been fine. Just find a good deal on "C" batteries and have a great time.
Like the strap and the feel.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, Shockwave II:

Lacks the punch needed for use as a primary light in night or cave diving, but does do a great job in illuminating micro life or for tickling those tucked away lobsters.
