Comments about Snap Sights/Intova Intova Nova Torch 3 watt LED #IFL660:

This is a very bright light. I wanted something that I could use for daytime use for illuminating cracks and crevices in the reef and on wrecks and signal other divers as to what I'm looking at, and this works perfectly for that. It is also very bright at night and could easily be used as a primary light.

I'm split on the magnetic switch though. I found it beneficial to have the magnetic slide switch when operating the light in one hand and a camera in the other during the day. I would switch the light on and off as needed to peer into dark places and use the light to allow the camera to focuse. The swich proved useful in these situations.

When not actively using the light, it stays clipped to a D-ring and secured to my shoulder strap with a piece of bike inner tube. I found the light would sometimes switch on by itself upon entry into the water due to the ease of movement of the magnetic switch. I had to reach down and physically feel the position of the switch after entry to make sure it hadn't accidentally switched on.

The light is very sturdy and feels well built.

Comments about Snap Sights/Intova Intova Nova Torch 3 watt LED #IFL660:

This light is awesome compared to the average ones sold at sporting good stores (which I purchased a couple just to test the difference. The light is extremely bright for the size. It does have a heavy solid feel which I personally like. I've only used it on day dives (worked really well). Will be testing on a night in a couple weeks. I have no idea how long the bulb or batteries last as I have not had it long enough, but the extra $15-$20 are well worth it thus far.

Comments about Snap Sights/Intova Intova Nova Torch 3 watt LED #IFL660:

This light is compact and well made. It has a bright beam and is good for looking into caves and wrecks for fish. The lanyard is well made and keeps the light from getting lost. I have only used it during the daytime so far, not on a night dive.

Comments about Snap Sights/Intova Intova Nova Torch 3 watt LED #IFL660:

I bought this mainly because I am way to into flashlights, and I had some gift money to burn. This has now become my primary light while in the water and while camping. It is extremely lightweight, very durable, with a sharp and focused beam. This is one of those items I bought on a lark, but would now not want to be without.

Comments about Snap Sights/Intova Intova Nova Torch 3 watt LED #IFL660:

This light is not heavey! If you you night dive often you know that most primary lights are weighing at least as much as 4C batteries and some up to 8 D batteries.. That's heavey.. This light is great as both a primary and secondary light.. This light is great for night free diving as well. This light is also great for camping. This light is as bright as other led lights that use three LEDs. It just does not have the beam width. It looks like a normal flashlight and fits in the hand. Your wirst does not get tired after diving or free diving for long periods of time.
I highly recomed it.
