(based on 52 ratings)
Brand: Underwater Kinetics
Located in: Add-On Gear, Lights
The high intensity Mini Q40 eLED is lightweight enough to attach to your mask strap for hands free illumination of gauges and marine life. A twin-element projection optics system creates a tight beam in air which opens up to a wider beam underwater for good close-up viewing. The LED emitter gives light as white as daylight which travels farther underwater than convention incandescent light and will not burn out with normal use. This makes for a good safety back-up as well as a close-up dive light.

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

I have never had a UK light flood, unlike Pelicon or Princeton Tec, I use this light as a BU light for cave or wreck diving, very reliable and compact, 2 watt led provides a decent beam, I rig light with a bolt snap and carry in pocket or wear on BP harness secured with inner tubing.

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

It is great as a backup, the beam is narrow but very powerful, enough to point out certain things underwater that a wide beam light cannot. You can even mount it to your mask straps for hands-free use. Highly recommended.

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

This thing packs a lot of punch for its size, the beam is quite narrow but it delivers plenty of light, used it on a night dive as my only lamp and it was just great...

It turned off when I was at about 7meters below the surface, I guess that the pressure was keeping it on when I was deeper... I thought that it drowned... but I tightened the cap and voilá!.

I wish it had a on/off switch like the bigger/more expensive SL4.

It didn't come with the standard lanyard, instead it came with a mask strap, but I made a lanyard with a piece of string, a "barre-lok" fastener and a piece of clear water hose.

I'm thinking of getting the turtle pack bundle from UK... it brings everything at a very great price.

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

The first time I turned on this light, I was floored as to how bright it was. I can't believe something so small can be so bright. So much so that it may very well be my primary light. It comes with a strap that you can strap it to your mask for handfree usage. I can't wait till the weather warms up so I can hit the water and put this to use.

Service & Delivery comments:

Leisurepro service and delivery are impeccable as always. It's hard to say anything negative about Leisurepro for a simple fact is that they make it impossible for anyone to find anything not to like about them. Their website is superb and their customer service support, when needed, is top notched. The folks I've dealt with have always been very courteous, friendly and professional. The next time we find our way to NY City, I have to stop by their shop and pay them a visit and shake their hands.

When Q40 introduced I bought three of them. I loved the idea to have continuously a light wherever you look on.
Then Underwater Kinetics introduced the eLed plus and I bought one of these Just to check it.There was no comparison between the two except the casing.As result I sold my Three previews Q40.

I used this light on a night snorkel off Ambergris Caye, Belize Jan 09. It worked great. Compact size and bright light but not bright enough to scare off octopus, cardinal fish and sleeping parrotfish. It worked well on a dive off the reef too. Also a great light for camping, deer hunting, turkey hunting, etc. A great price!

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

I believe I've tried every every generation of UK's LED lights and this is most remarkable - the eLED Plus is worth the difference over the older Q40's. In addition to the advertised battery life and reliable LED, this light puts out a remarkably intense narrow beam. Not recommended as a general use light here in chilly and often dark Puget Sound but a solid back-up and now my warm water favorite to carefully explore the dark nooks and crannies of a healthy reef.

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

This is a decent backup light. Only issue I have is that sometimes the pressure underwater will turn the light on by itself, meaning it is twisted far enough on the surface to be off, but under water at depth it just turns on. This could lead to battery drain if you do a lot of diving with it in your bc pocket and don't realize it has been on on every dive. This can be prevented if you twist it an extra turn in the off direction at the surface. After using this light for a few dives I switched over to the intova torch. It is brighter and alows me to look further into cracks and crevices for fish and lobster.

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

For the money this is the best backup light in my opinion. AA batteries are a plus and it works well on the mask too for night dives. I keep one of these clipped to my harness permanently.

The only negative is that there is nothing at the back to tie a boltsnap to - I had to improvise. The bulb did break once for no reason, but Underwater Kinetics sent me a new one right away (no charge).

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

I'm a Southern California Diver who loves to dive at night. Weather bug hunting, spear fishing for halibut, or just looking for different types of night creatures, I don't get into the water without at least one Q40 eLED strapped to my mask. I leave it on through-out my dive so when I need to drop my primary, I have a dependable light source I can count on. Inexpensive too. Surprisingly bright! Strap on two and you could practically dive without a primary, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I just keep this in my BCD pocket. It is the perfect size for that. I have not used on a night dive, but have used numerous times in the daylight. Very bright beam. Perfect for looking in coral holes, and under ledges for hard to find sealife.
