Nice light, but poor internal design

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Sunlight SL6 Dive Light:

The beam characteristics on this light are good. It's reasonably strong and penetrating. However my SL6 leaked on it's very first dive. Not a major flood, but enough to wet the insides. It was then necessary to pull it apart so I could polish the gunk off all the contacts in the battery compartment. This proved to be quite a trial. The torch is just not designed to be pulled apart, and getting those contacts back in place was unbelievably frustrating. To my mind this is a big fat fail. Gear that isn't field serviceable is simply future landfill. In other respects it's OK, but avoid this torch if field serviceability matters to you.

We purchased this light as a replacement for another light and found the size to be perfect for the primary night dive light. Great illumination, compact, easy to use.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Sunlight SL6 Dive Light:

This a very powerful light. Its beam has the same reach as the much bigger C8. The beam is narrower than the C8's. The SL6 is very reliable. It is my back-up light for cave diving.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Sunlight SL6 Dive Light:

I've not tried it at night yet, but on a murky day in 4m vis it cut through the scum well. Very tight, focused beam. A little bit long, but hey, it's got 6 c cells.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Sunlight SL6 Dive Light:

This is a great light. High intensity in a compact design. 1st one was stolen, 2nd one I left the batteries in it over the winter and they exploded. This is my third one, its the only light I ever use. I have a larger 4d cell pistol grip type light but find this one to be brigher and more compact. Highly recommeded.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Sunlight SL6 Dive Light:

Great backup light. A little long, but still stays streamlined when strapped to shoulder webbing. Definitely the most bang for your buck as far as amount of light and ease of use. Positive on/off light switch is the greatest invention known to man after dealing with twist on/twist off lights

For spearfishing- lights up deep holes. Too easy for the light switch to come on. I turn the light on and then unscrew the lens till the light goes off. Then a 1/4 turn more.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Sunlight SL6 Dive Light:

great light!!! i use it as my back up but with the way it penetrates through the water it could very easily be used as a primary. i use it all the time diving during the day to look under ledges. great bang for the buck ... cant go wrong here. ive spent 6 times the price on my primary and i find myself using this one more.

Comments about Underwater Kinetics Underwater Kinetics Sunlight SL6 Dive Light:

This light works well and is just a bit less powerful than the pistol handled UK C8, however the SL6 fits in most BCD pockets. It works great at depth and on night dives. The powerful beam cuts through the darkness. It has an easy to find and operate on/off switch. Takes 6 C batteries.
