Excellent for night recovery visibility allows boat operators quick sighting when divers are seperated because of currents. Would be excellent for recovery of lost diver at night. I haven't tested the duration of operation but it provides a good attention getting flash. Very similar to military night recovery light but at a third the cost and uses standard batteries.

Avoid Tektite At All Costs!!!!

I gave this one dive flag only because I had to put something down, otherwise I would give it ZERO! Purchased a Tektite Strobe 200 from Leisure Pro for marking ascent lines during night/low-visibility dives. First time in the water, stupid thing flooded like many reviews have stated. Contacted Tektite via email (address on their webpage) and the President of the company responded that I should return the item and Tektite would replace it at no cost. I sent it off in early July with delivery confirmation and am still waiting on the replacement. I've attempted to contact Tektite repeatedly via email and have been ignored. My advice on this and any other Tektite product would be: DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!

    Comments about Tektite Xenon Strobe 200:

    I have owned two of these over the past 5 years. Both have failed. I am fairly certain that water/moisture enters the lights and they slowly corrode the electronics. Not a massive flood but the strobe electronics on both end up foggy and corroded, as with the batteries which end up leaking acid.

    That said when they work they are bright and run for a long time. Nice size, not huge, perfect for a DIR under arm harness mount.

      I purchased one of these from LP. Unfortunately it survived 2 maybe 3 dives most. The light never flooded it just stopped working. Ret'd to Tektite [...] Same light ret'd [...] lasted one dive.....Junk! I plan on dropping my their location and complaining in person.

      Comments about Tektite Xenon Strobe 200:

      I have 3 of these, though distributed by differant manufactures and cost range, they are all the same light. Absolutely worth every penny when they work.

      If you buy these, which I am going to buy some more because I do a lot of night dives from boats and they are great when they work. Before ever taking this light into the water, first grease the o-rings with some type of O2 compatible grease - again O2 compatible grease, turn light on before descending and clip off where ever you choose. Leave light on till you get back on the boat. Immediately take light apart once home and dry off and check for leaks, the brass inside corrodes very quickly making the light useless.

      Light one failed first dive at 37', light 2 lasted 5 dives up to 70', light 3 still ticking... and they are rated to 300' which is BS.

      I so wish someone would perfect this strobe at a reasonable price because they really are awesome when they work.

        This was on for over 2 hours on a recent night dive and never missed a beat. Tough and durable, this is a top shelf product.

          Comments about Tektite Xenon Strobe 200:

          I bought this for emergency signaling on overseas trips. It has worked well for me. It is a little bulky for a BCD pocket but fits well. It is bright but not as bright as I would like. I like the dual orings to prevent flooding. I have used it down to 50-feet. I thought it was a waste of my money. I have been spoiled on other strobes. It doesn't float and doesn't float upright underwater.
