First off it's important to know that these lights from MAKO are in fact Orca Torch D550's that have the MAKO branding on them.....which makes them even nicer! These lights are not only awesome as a back-up but even as a primary. They don't overheat and have a long burn time. They also run on standard 18650 rechargeable batteries that are extremely common. I love the tail switch as it's easy to use even in a cold water environment with thick gloves. he kit from MAKO comes with light, battery, charger and a nice hard case. Best for last is that this MAKO / D550 is the BEST price you'll find and my experience with MAKO is that they 100% back up their products..

Mako has the best quality, prices and customer service. This is not the first item I buy from them, so I’ll continue to be their customer anytime I need diving related products. Thank you Mako!

Superb

Love the wrist mount and size & power

Very bright and charges fast. Also comes with extra accessories. Reasonably priced compared to other dive lights.

When I ordered this like I had middling hopes and would have not been surprised to get an awesome product nor would it have been a shock to have a sub par product. What I received blew my expectations out of the water! This is a fantastic light! Its relatively small, durable, survives the rinse cycle of the mighty pacific, and makes sure that you see ever detail! When compared to my dive buddies far more expensive light, there was absolutely no difference in the brightness of lights or charge length. The only small issue that I faced was there is little instruction about how long a charge can take, from low to full charge took about 4 and a half hours for me. So be sure to have everything charged before hitting the water! To reiterate. I very highly recommend this product. I had confidence in mako products before and this purchase sealed the deal, I will reccomend this light to any and everyone who needs a good budget light that still outshines the more expensive options!

This is a great light! Small and powerful and focused for looking under ledges. It is so bright that you can have your head outside of the ledge and be in sunlight, yet the light is powerful enough to allow you to see into the back of a hole. Less powerful lights require you to stick your head under the ledge and shield your eyes from the ambient light. Also, I keep the head unscrewed just enough to prevent the light from turning on. The rear switch can get bumped in a bag or on the boat, so with the head unscrewed a tiny bit, it ensures it wont come on and kill the battery the night before. Takes 1 second to turn the head when you want to start using it for the first time n the dive.

This light works great, helps me see under rocks even when the visibility is poor. Battery hasn’t died on me yet, I’ve been out for 3+ hour long dives on a single charge

I just had my first dive with this flash light. by far the brightest i've own. it lights up caves really well! i dove for about 7 hours, turning the light on and off through out it and it still had power to turn on at the end of the day. always on the "high" mode. i dont think you can go wrong getting this light for the price.

At this price point you can't find a better dive light than this. It is very bright and has a much broader beam than most dive lights. It would work well fro photography. I've used it on several dives now and it works perfectly for exploring recesses looking for grouper or lobster. I keep mine on retracting cable attached to my BC and I really like that it has a twist off switch to eliminate accidental turn on, but then can be thumb activated while I'm exploring.

Very bright and good battery life. My only complaint is that I have to cycle through bright beam and low beam before turning off. Would prefer just to have a simple on and off.
