Wurkkos DL10R Diving Flashlight

This flashlight is really impressive! The first thing you notice is the hefty build quality - it's full metal, it's weighty, it's a decent size without being too big, and it just overall feels really solid. It has a very simple intensity ring that controls the brightness level, with no complex UI to worry about. At full brightness, this thing is BRIGHT. It has tons of both flood and throw - I was able to get it to illuminate a house at about 200m/650 feet without any issues. It really surprised me how it could throw so far while being so floody at the same time - as I was trying to spotlight that house it fully lit up everything in front of me for about 50 feet. It's really impressive and I personally haven't used a light that does both throw and flood as well as this one. You get everything you need to get started in the package, too. It includes the light with a large 21700 battery preinstalled, a wrist strap, some replacement O-rings, and a USB-C cable. One of the coolest things about it is that it's a diving light designed to go up to 100m underwater, but it has integrated USB-C charging that makes it a lot more practical to take places. The port is covered by a fairly large cap on the end with O-ring sealing, so there's no anxiety about water creeping into a poorly sealed port. The battery life is also impressive, and it's rated to run for a continuous hour and 25 minutes at the extremely bright full brightness level. Do be careful though, this light gets really hot fairly quickly on high, and while it's heat dissipation system keeps it from overheating the battery and shutting off, the metal body can get pretty warm on your hand if you aren't careful. It's rated to go up to 100m underwater, and while I haven't taken it diving, I turned it on and put it in a glass of water for about 10 minutes and noticed no negative effects. Overall, this is a really awesome flashlight. I'm pretty picky about my flashlights and have a handful of nice ones, and this is maybe the one that's given me the biggest "wow" moment so far. Taking it outside at night and seeing it shine a light all the way down my street while lighting up everything in front of me was a really cool moment that I haven't experienced with a flashlight before. I would highly recommend the DL10R to anyone for any reason - it's just a really well-built flashlight that outputs a shocking amount of light. If you're on the fence, just get it!

Absolutely incredible dive light. I used it while snorkeling at surprisingly deep depths and it performed flawlessly. The beam is bright, clear, and powerful enough to illuminate under rocks, ledges, and crevices where marine life likes to hide. Battery life was excellent, and the light felt durable and dependable in the water. For the price, I honestly don’t think you can beat the value. This has become one of my favorite pieces of snorkeling gear.

If there's one thing I like about this diving light, it's the simplicity of it. It's a no-frills light, without all the extra, unnecessary features. The packaging is standard for Wurkkos, with everything tucked neatly inside. Not only does this light come with the 21700 battery installed, but it includes a USB charger as well! It also comes with a strap/lanyard that has a rubber sleeve on it for comfort, extra o-rings, an 18650 adapter tube, and instructions, of course. If you're familiar with diving lights, you'll recognize the magnetic ring switch. If you're not familiar with diving lights, this magnetic switch is used instead of your standard button. This switch operates the light by use of a magnet, mitigating the need to run wires to the switch, thus allowing the body to be completely sealed. This switch has 4 positions: off, low, medium and high. It's as simple as that! In regard to the size, it fits right in the palm of your hand. Like most of the lights I own that use a 21700 battery, I find that it's not too big and not too small. I chose the 2700K over the 5000K and boy am I glad I did. It gives off such a warm glow, it reminds me of a sunset or campfire. If you've never had such a warm temperature light before, I recommend getting one. In a world of bright white LEDs, something just feels peaceful about it.

The light has a rotary switch. Rotating the switch turns it on, and the greater the rotation angle, the brighter the light. The brightness levels are: Off - 1000 lumens - 5000 lumens - 15000 lumens. At these brightness levels, the light gets very hot. To prevent overheating, the brightness will automatically decrease. However, this only happens above water. Underwater, the light only gets warm, the exact temperature depending on the water temperature. The light feels high-quality and comes with several accessories. These include a pre-installed handle, a wrist strap, and some spare O-rings. It also includes three lithium batteries and a USB charging cable. The batteries can be charged internally using a USB power adapter, but can also be charged using an external charger. I think its power bank function is great. USB-C devices can be charged using this light. Four small LED indicators show the remaining battery level. If the light is used in saltwater, it should be thoroughly cleaned after use to prevent corrosion. This is also mentioned in the instruction manual. Overall, this is a great diving light, and it's equally impressive on land.

Incredibly bright and compact, perfect for diving!

This diving light rocks! Every other flashlight I have uses a traditional switch. Those switches are fine and get the job done, but having a magnetic rotary switch is a total game changer. Most lights that use 1 switch will have you press and hold it to cycle through the modes. The rotary switch of the DL10R means that when you turn the light on, you always know what mode you are in. No more guessing. The switch being magnetic also has a really unique feeling when you turn it. It's not "clicky" because there is little resistance in each turn. This is to keep it water tight for deeper dives. Many other diving lights use magnets for this reason. It was great to see Wurkkos implement magnetic adjustment into the rotary switch. Another notable feature is the usb-c charging built in. Usb-c is everywhere now so this means you will always have a place to charge this light. Other than that, the light is well built and very robust. There are dual O rings for the battery compartment and usb-c charging cover which should keep water out. The light output is also really nice. It's more of a thrower which is exactly what you want for underwater. 4,500 lumens is plenty bright and probably more than most people will really need. They state low at 600 lumens, but to me it looks brighter than a few 700 lumen lights I have. Medium which is 1,800 lumens seems to be the sweet spot and is probably where most people will use the light. Overall this is a great light and I can't wait to take it out on more adventures.

I previously purchased a Wurkkos flashlight and was impressed with its performance. When I needed another flashlight for outdoor use, I decided to look for a waterproof option. I came across this dive flashlight and decided to give it a try. The size and weight are just right for me, and the brightness is excellent, covering a large area—making it a great work light as well. To test its waterproofing, I submerged it in water for several hours, and it performed flawlessly. The switch ring appears to use a magnetic mechanism, as I was able to turn it on with an external magnet. This non-contact switch design ensures it remains completely watertight. The flashlight comes with a 5000mAh battery, which should provide a long runtime. I left it on underwater for several hours but didn’t have the patience to wait until the battery fully drained. Based on the manual, it should run for over five hours without issue. Overall, this is a highly reliable flashlight that performs well in any weather or situation. I highly recommend it to anyone in need of a durable, waterproof light.

This lamp is indeed very powerful and very bright. Ideally, it illuminates a wide area, and the quality is excellent. After a 60-meter dive, everything was perfect; the light was set to the lowest setting, which was just right for taking photos.

Nothing wrong with it.
