Underwater Kinetics Sunlight "D8" Dive Light with Pistol Grip image
 
(based on 11 ratings)
Brand: Underwater Kinetics
Located in: Add-On Gear, Lights
Frequent divers prefer the D8 for its brightness and exceptionally long run time. Its dual xenon lamps provide backup underwater and enhance color clarity for the ultimate diving experience. Upgrade to a rechargeable kit for a cost-effective solution. The D8 is astoundingly powerful-you can actually feel the heat generated by its ultra-bright lamp. This is Kinetics' most powerful light that uses disposable alkaline batteries. It is a must for divers who demand high brightness and long burn times from one set of batteries. Light is equipped with a non-breakable locking switch, twin accessory slots for either a contoured pistol grip, as well as other light mount accessories, polarized battery compartment that helps reduce battery leakage, and is made of tough non-corrosive ABS and polycarbonate plastic. Light also comes with a wrist lanyard.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Sunlight "D8" Dive Light with Pistol Grip:

For the price this is a great light. It is very bright. I have only used it once so I can not say how well it will hold up. It is not as good as a HID light but it is very well priced. You could buy this one until you save up enough for a HID and use it as a back up. You can feel the heat from the light. Much better than my Brite lite 5000.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Sunlight "D8" Dive Light with Pistol Grip:

I have an issue with the On off switch. I have used this light right at 6 hours with one set of batteries mainly on low intensity but the switch has to be EXACTLY perfect for either beam to work. So if you switch to high beam, its gonna be dark till ya get the switch JUST RIGHT. Other than that its negative bouyancy so it will help in your bouyancy and if you set it down it will be there when you reach for it! Battery life superb! I dive rivers dark and spooky! Need good light! Switch as an issue though. [$]

I used this on a night dive recently in pretty poor visibility. It not only provided excellent illumination for diving, I was able to take some videos of the first green turtle I've encountered.

I lost my first light when I didn't secure it when diving the Cooper River. I liked it so much that I had to buy another one. Maybe I will use the new one to find the old one.

This light projects a very large surface area and is very good for night diving. In fact, its not too bright light bulbs do not disturb living creatures in the environment.

Great for recreational night diving. Not a light you want to walk around with for very long. Eight D cells can be a drag out of the water.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Sunlight "D8" Dive Light with Pistol Grip:

I use it for night spearfishing. If you are up to 10-12 meters freediver the this torch is more than enough! What I like very much is the wide light and that there is no chance to lose a fish in this rate.
