The Torrent Led was designed for the diver who wants high performance in a smaller package. with its 3 watt maxbright LED, the Torrent LED is a small enough for looking into tiny crevices but has the power to be a primary dive light if needed. This 8 AA dive light is excellent for local diving or for putting in your gear bag for vacation travel.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec 2008 Torrent LED:

I purchased and used this light on some cavern dives, and a night dive. Worked flawlessly. Small, very bright, and reliable. I would definitely purchase again. Switch activated so there is no chance of flooding it when turning it on/off underwater. Also has a lock so that it doesn't turn on in transit.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec 2008 Torrent LED:

I recently purchased and used this light for a night dive in Cozumel. I was pleased with it's light weight and high intensity. It performed well and I had no problems with it. It sure beats having to lug around a heavy light especially with the airline weight restrictions.

Poor quality
By The MonsVerified Reviewer from Houston on 8/6/2009
Cons:
Breaks Easily
Best Uses:
Professional
Describe Yourself:
Professional Diver

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec 2008 Torrent LED:

The first one I had broke the second time I used it in less than 2 weeks. It was the switch mechanism. I got a second one.

On both, the switch lock is flimsy and ineffective. It turned on in my BC pocket by itself even though it was locked off.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec 2008 Torrent LED:

The first Torrent I received as a gift would not turn on under the surface. It worked fine above the surface. I sent it back & Princeton sent me another one (no questions asked). The second Torrent I received worked intermittenly; sometimes the switch would work, sometimes it would not. I can't rely on this light. Maybe the third time is the charm?

Its a good light, when it works. I had to tape all the batteries together because one would slip out just enough to cut the current. With the tape, this light is great...

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec 2008 Torrent LED:

This is the first light I have owned. I have used it as a primary light on a couple night dives so far. It is light, compact, and very bright. My dive buddy's bulky 6 C cell halogen was not as bright as this LED light, but the light produced by the LED does not show colors as vividly as the halogen.

Comments about Princeton Tec Princeton Tec 2008 Torrent LED:

I purchased this light as my primary light, as we travel often to dive. So is a compact size for travelling, but with 3W output is good enough as a primary dive light.

Service & Delivery comments:

First product I've purchased from Leisure Pro. Fast delivery to Australia. Even with a $40 shipping cost the light was $20 cheaper than purchasing locally, with the Bonus smaller Princeton Tec thrown in!
Will purchase from Leisure Pro again!

I've used this light underwater just as much as above water. Works great everytime. The beam is great; not to wide but with a tight spot as well. Batteries will last forever.
