Used as a back-up light. Fits good in my b/c pocket. Decent light output. Con: Twist-on bezel has to be loose to keep light off and may let water enter the light. With that type of light actuation the light can turn itself on easily draining the batteries.

This light is either on or off when you enter water and may leak when in off position.

LIke this flashlight so much bought another one. First one kids played with it and I guess tightened it so much it broke of the head. I used the other one on about five night dives and loved it.

Princeton has sold us! We use them for SCUBA, Camping, kayaking as signal devices and at night.
Great product warranty. I keep a Tec-40 in my bag for a backup when cave and wreck diving. They are
very dependable and BRIGHT.

Just got back from Roatan and used this light all the time; diving on the reef to look in the occasional nook, and at night, walking back to the beach house. So far, it's been completely waterproof and has a nice bright beam. I love this light.
(And I LOVE Leisure Pro!!!)

This torch is good value. Doesn't perform amazingly, battery life is not that long but as a backup torch for recreational night diving it is a good deal.
Delivery was prompt and the product was in good condition.
My first one of these torches broke and Princeton was quick to repair it under warranty for no charge. So I am happy with their customer service.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, 2006 Tec-40:
I was going to use this light as a backup to my shockwavw II, but it leaks and ruins the batteries. The twist on/off is a poor design and does not seal the light in the off position underwater. The light is very bright for being so small.

Only used it a couple times, but it's working very well so far. Good light for its small size and can't beat the price.

It's a flashlight. Not very bright, but good enough to get you to the surface should your primary fail.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, 2006 Tec-40:
These lights are a great deal for what you get. My husband and I have been diving for almost 20 years and this sure beats the big, heavy, bulky lights that would use to need to get the brightness required. I would recommend this product without hesitation.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, 2006 Tec-40:
It's a great backup light or just a small light to carry on your BC during day divers for looking into small cracks and crevaces. Not the most hight powered beam but what can you expect for the price it's a great light.

This is a great backup light for night dives and works well during the day too for looking into recesses and crevices.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, 2006 Tec-40:
I have had a couple of these seconds and they are pretty durable and bulb life isn't bad. Bright for size and a backup only. I like the twist for on option-prevents accidental activation and small enough for your BCD.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, 2006 Tec-40:
Used this light for the first time last week. Fresh out of the packaging. Worked fine until flooding @ 65'. Once dive completed, fresh water rinse and moisture guard spray did not halt the corrosion. Although lights of this size are great backups, reliability should be a key criteria in selecting which type to get.

I got 2 of these for my Cozumel trip and they worked great!
We used them for backup lights to our big guns.
They also fit in bcd pockets perfectly!
Used them for a week and never ran out of batteries.
I highly recommend thid compact light!

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, 2006 Tec-40:
Great price. Lightweight and has a nice, solid feel, too. This light has a soft, intense light dispersion. Surprisingly bright for it's size and price. I find it to be a great backup light for my BC pocket. The only minor drawback for such a light is having to use two hands to twist on and off the light. Despite that, I am very pleased with it.

Wow: for the size, cost and weight this little guy packs some power, I've been very impressed. Compact enough for the BC pocket and enough juice for night dives in good viz. Didn't use it in low viz situations so I can't comment.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec, 2006 Tec-40:
You never know when you need a light. This fits right in the pocket for the Sherwood folding snorkel on my BC. More useful than a snorkel. More light than the price suggests.

A great backup light for night dives. Small enough to be carried in a BCD pocket on all dives. Very bright for a light this size.
