The light also makes a very good focus light with your digital camera. The lighthas a flashing strobe mode. This allows you to signal help or use it to mark theanchor line during night dives or in low visibility.

Comments about Epoque Epoque Underwater LED 1W Dive Light (FLED1WR):
While this flashlight does not compete with the bigger, more expensive dive lights, it produces a significant amount of light for its size and makes for a good "travel size" light to take on trips or to keep in your dive bag. Battery life is good.
A useful feature, at least for me, is the flashing mode. This allows the unit to serve a dual purpose as a locator beacon on my PFD when I go sailing at night.
One down side is that the on/off switch cannot be "locked" and could be accidentally turned on if the unit rubs against something in your bag. I used a rubber band to prevent this from happening.
A minor inconvenience was that the instructions were printed entirely in Japanese. Fortunately, the unit is very simple to use and the instructions aren't necessary.
Overall, this appears to be a solid unit and I'm pleased with my purchase.
