DESCRIPTION

Whats in the box:LED Flashlight, 4 AA Alkaline Batteries, and Lanyard

Princeton Tec took the traditional look and feel of handheld halogen lights and added in Princeton Tec's Max-Bright LED to make the Impact XL. With a rubber over-mold and rugged construction, the Impact XL is durable enough for any conditions. The Impact XL is the finest 4 "AA" cell L.E.D. light to ever grace the market. Weighing in at 6.95 oz (197 g) with batteries and offering waterproof integrity to 330' (100 meters), the IMPACT XL utilizes a 1-watt L.E.D., which is one of the most powerful L.E.D. sources in the world.

The light output of the Impact XL is significantly greater than competing 1-watt xenon and halogen bulbs and it produces a truer, whiter light than many other L.E.D. and incandescent flashlights on the market. The innovative rubber over molded grip ensures that you'll be able to securely hold the light, even under the most demanding circumstances. With a bulb life rating of 10,000 hours (up to 70 hours of useful light) and its rugged impact-resistant design, the Impact XL is sure to be reliable when you need it. The Impact XL gives 65 Lumens of Brightness, with a 50 Hour Burn Time on a set of batteries. Light comes with a Adjustable Rubber Shrouded Wrist Lanyard and an Owner's Manual.

    I've gone through about a dozen "back-up" lights looking for the right one at a low price: dependable LED, long battery life, solid build. They all fell apart after a few dives, except this one. I finally opted for two primaries, but recently decided to give this one a try. I have really tried to punish this thing, and it keeps on working. I lost it on a 125 foot wreck dive, but found it the next day still lit-up! Only complaint is the lens has scratched earlier than expected.

    This is a decent light as a backup, though not super-bright. When used during the day, it has to be carefully directed to be used as a "peeker" for under ledges, etc., or it won't be effective, as it isn't that bright around the periphery.

    It would be much easier to use if it had an actual on/off switch. Instead, you turn the body of the light, as if you are tightening or loosening it (as you do when you open it or put in the batteries). This creates a real danger of opening and flooding the light when you are simply trying to turn it off. Not sure why it was designed this way.

    We bought two, and one flooded the first time it was used, even though it had never been turned on or off.

        My light flooded on 1st dive

            Comments about Princeton Tec, Impact XL Flashlight:

            I used this light one time as a tool to peek under ledges for critters. Unfortunately, the light flooded and failed on it's very first dive to 90 feet. The cause of the malfunction was a defective housing that contains the LED electronics and contact spring. The housing uses two screws to keep the halves flush and allow the housing to contact the batteries when the top is twisted CCW. Since this housing wasn't allowing the spring to extend for battery contact it flooded when the top was turned far enough to initiate the LED to light.
            I recommend to verify that your lights spring loaded LED housing operate smoothly over its entire travel motion to enguage the contacts without exposing the o-ring.

                    We use this as a backup light for diving. But, It can be a main light if your dive buddy has a strong light.

                      Nice and bright (brighter than more expensive flashlight of similar size). Only downfall is the twist on feature without a button or switch to turn it on.
