Comments about Tektite Tektite Xenon Strobe 200:

I have 3 of these, though distributed by differant manufactures and cost range, they are all the same light. Absolutely worth every penny when they work.

If you buy these, which I am going to buy some more because I do a lot of night dives from boats and they are great when they work. Before ever taking this light into the water, first grease the o-rings with some type of O2 compatible grease - again O2 compatible grease, turn light on before descending and clip off where ever you choose. Leave light on till you get back on the boat. Immediately take light apart once home and dry off and check for leaks, the brass inside corrodes very quickly making the light useless.

Light one failed first dive at 37', light 2 lasted 5 dives up to 70', light 3 still ticking... and they are rated to 300' which is BS.

I so wish someone would perfect this strobe at a reasonable price because they really are awesome when they work.

This was on for over 2 hours on a recent night dive and never missed a beat. Tough and durable, this is a top shelf product.

I bought this for emergency signaling on overseas trips. It has worked well for me. It is a little bulky for a BCD pocket but fits well. It is bright but not as bright as I would like. I like the dual orings to prevent flooding. I have used it down to 50-feet. I thought it was a waste of my money. I have been spoiled on other strobes. It doesn't float and doesn't float upright underwater.

I gave this one dive flag only because I had to put something down, otherwise I would give it ZERO! Purchased a Tektite Strobe 200 from Leisure Pro for marking ascent lines during night/low-visibility dives. First time in the water, stupid thing flooded like many reviews have stated. Contacted Tektite via email (address on their webpage) and the President of the company responded that I should return the item and Tektite would replace it at no cost. I sent it off in early July with delivery confirmation and am still waiting on the replacement. I've attempted to contact Tektite repeatedly via email and have been ignored. My advice on this and any other Tektite product would be: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

It is very bright, but it does not like to dive. I owned two of them, and each one only lasted one dive (65 ft. and 80 ft.). Do not use for diving.

Really Bright! If you get lost, this will hhelp!

I ordered three of them in a six month span. One came without inner contacts, and it was replaced.
All three of them leaked beyond 20 meters (66 ft.). None of them survived the third dive.

Useless for divers. May be used for snorkeling or ground use.

Purchased this to attach to the mooring line on night dives. It worked nicely and was clearly visible.

It flooded. At 20 feet. Twice!

It did not flood completely, just a good amount of water to fill up a quarter of the battery compartment. Batteries were hosed and leaked acid. We cleaned up the contacts with some vinegar, put new batteries in, and though we were good to go. Double-checked the O-rings and sealed it up before attaching it to the hang-bar. It flooded again. At 20 feet.

Pretty reliable, easy-to-use strobe

Works as described. Good bright strobe for makers and emergency signaling. First unit leaked; make sure you check it before you need it.

Comments about Tektite Tektite Xenon Strobe 200:

Haven't had a cance to test the product in the water, but the light is quite bright at night. The strobe was larger/bulkier than I expected. I guess next time I ought to check the dimensions before I order. That said, the point is to be seen (or to be able to find the strobe) so I cna live with that.

Comments about Tektite Tektite Xenon Strobe 200:

Used it as a becon strobe for night dives. Velco strap attached to mooring line easily. Could see it flashing up to 200 to 250 feet away. Made it very easy to navagate back to the exit point.

Would recommend to anyone who is a little uncomfortable doing night dives.

Comments about Tektite Tektite Xenon Strobe 200:

Light had great ratings but had crack lines down the spine of the plastic. [...] I might try a differnt brand to get the same kind of light down there in the dark.

Comments about Tektite Tektite Xenon Strobe 200:

Emits a very bright but the strobe's molded plastic housing is perhaps too thin and not as durable as I'd prefer. Mine flooded, due to a manufacturing defect apparently not discovered prior to packaging. I tested the strobe out of water. My mistake, and, only discovered the problem post dive. Glad I didn't need it. I purchased the strobe to compliment my safety backup equipment. I would recommend this to a friend... however, be forewarned.

Comments about Tektite Tektite Xenon Strobe 200:

Really bright strobe. Too bright to dive with ON all the time. fits in my BC pocket.

Its exactly what you want if you want an emergency strobe that will garantee detection on the surface at night.

4 stars because quality of the build and components is not PERFECT but GOOD.

Comments about Tektite Tektite Xenon Strobe 200:

Excellent for night recovery visibility allows boat operators quick sighting when divers are seperated because of currents. Would be excellent for recovery of lost diver at night. I haven't tested the duration of operation but it provides a good attention getting flash. Very similar to military night recovery light but at a third the cost and uses standard batteries.

Comments about Tektite Tektite Xenon Strobe 200:

This is a good marker beacon when diving poor visibility water or at night. It would be better if it were positive bouyant.

Comments about Tektite Tektite Xenon Strobe 200:

Because a previous strobe light flooded I purchased the Tektite Xenon Strobe 200. It's weight is light enough for travel anywhere around the world I go & It's light is bright enough for all of my dive buddys to see. [...]
