Lobster diving or photography can really get your hands full. How do I keep light on my subject or that five pound lobster with either my camera or game bag or hunting tools in hand? The high-intensity Mini Q40 eLED is lightweight enough to attach to your mask strap for hands-free illumination of camera settings, hunting, gauges and close-up marine life. It outshines many lights three times its size. Light comes equipped with a mask strap attachment and 1 watt eLED highbrightness lamp. Works well as a photographers spotting light. Mini Q40 eLED Light fits Sea & Sea, Ultralight and other camera mounting adapters. All this versatility in a tough ABS polycarbonate body with rubber shock resistant bezel cover makes the Mini Q40 eLED the light for you.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Mini Q40 eLED Dive Light:

I have received three of these lights and each one failed after only a few weeks of use. Very cheaply made and I would recommend spending a few more bucks to get a better more durable light.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Mini Q40 eLED Dive Light:

Ok, maybe I am not that demanding. Used it extensivly while diving in Bonaire. I have a good LED 4c light but I also have a camera in one hand. I gave the big light to my daughter and used this.For the rest of my trip I only used this light,day and night. Works great!

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Mini Q40 eLED Dive Light:

The mask strap doesn't work with my mask because of the mask strap pad. It didn't come with a wrist strap, so I'm trying to locate one. I've been using string and I don't like where they placed the spot to attach the wrist strap; when you let it hang it shines at you instead of down. Otherwise the light itself is wonderful. Very compact, very bright white light and so far seems to hold up really well. If used as a backup light be sure to check it once you are in the water. Mine has a tendancy to turn on initially for some reason on it's own. Once checked it stays off.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Mini Q40 eLED Dive Light:

this light is a solid classic. i think UK are the best dive lights. i had a miniQ40 (non-LED) for ten years, since i was 15. i loved it and used it for everything; camping, fishing, diving, etc. i lost it somehow. i thought it was bright, but this new eLED type is super bright. i also bought the mini pocket lite, and the SL4 sunlight (all UK). i use the SL4 and the miniQ40 between me and a friend when we go night snorkelling. it's plenty bright. i use the miniQ40 for backup when i go night diving. i also use the miniQ40 for day time snorkelling or diving for looking into caves and such. it's small, strong, durable, great shape and design. i don't think i'll ever not have at least a couple of UK lights.
P.S. eLED is the way to go! DON'T buy bulb lights. batteries last so much longer (at least ten times longer) and eLEDs don't break. my tech-diver freind said "get eLED-trust me!" he was right. trust me.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Mini Q40 eLED Dive Light:

This is a great little light. I used it as my 3rd light and kept it in my pocket until I dove a night dive with someone who had no lights. This became my back up...which I had to use when my primary's bulb burned out. It exceeded my expectations.
