1164 Dive Light

I've had this light for over 4 years and am overall satisfied. While it is definitely not as bright as advertised (maybe 600 lumens), I am happy with the quality and reliability. The light is also the most compact of the 8+ different 18650 lights my dive buddies, and I have. I like the simple button operation, which is intuitive to use (valuable in cases when I lend it out). The button is also protected by being recessed, which makes me much less worried about it accidentally turning on.I would recommend this and would buy it again if mine was lost.Mine has probably been on 25+ recreational limit dives and was temporarily lost underwater for 24 hours with no issues.

Got this 2 pack of flashlights and tested one of them out on a dive today in Laguna Beach, California. Nice compact package with push button switch in the tail end. Totally adequate for beach diving in 10-15 vis. While yes there are more powerful, more expensive lights, and I’ve owned many, the price is great for what you get and as mentioned totally adequate for day dives looking under ledges and such or as a backup light when you’re night diving. Tech divers will demand more but for recreational purposes, all good.For those that have concerns about battery life with the provided battery, yes, there are definitely larger capacity batteries you can use, but I did a 55 min dive with the included battery and the light was on max brightness the whole time with no issues. Didn’t test it through a second dive, but doesn’t appear to be any dimmer right now.For those that have concerns over flooding: Make sure you grease the o rings and inspect for contamination before you dive them. Has a double o ring seal, and they did arrive dry and in need of some grease. I dove it to 47 feet today, and all good. It’s well made aluminum body, easy push button switch. Most of my dives are off the beach so I won’t be testing this to tech diver depths, but for recreational dives I think you’ll be in good shape. Best part is, if I lose it, or loan it out and my buddy loses it, I’m not going to sweat it too much since the cost is so reasonable.

The light is solidly built with an aluminum housing. Double o-rings keep the water out. I took the advice of other reviewers and put some silicone grease on the o-rings. However, I did use it underwater for a while before doing this, and it stayed dry. I use this for snorkeling in the river, so I haven't taken it any deeper than about 20 feet.Very bright! It gets hot quickly when used out of the water on the brightest setting. Underwater, it stays cool.Battery is a standard 18650. The included charger is somewhat lightweight and flimsy, which doesn't inspire confidence in its long-term reliability or safety; but it works well so far. It has an indicator light to tell you when the battery is charged.

Works as it should

Agree with other commenters that the charger is very cheap, flimsy, yet it did seem to work. Checked the batter for a cover and the only plastic was around the outside, nothing covering either end (see photos). The blue border is attached to the sleeve wrapping the battery the full length, plus if there was a protective covering the battery would not charge.Upon putting the battery into the charger, then plugging the charger in, the light was red. Let it remain until the light turned green. Transferred battery into flashlight, and upon pressing the button on the bottom nothing happened. Next day asked husband to take a look, and he wanted to verify the battery was charged, so we put it back in the charger like before (waiting to plug-in until we had the battery in place). Light was red (should have still had a charge from the night before). After a few hours light was green again, so he moved the battery into the flashlight and again, nothing.We noticed the button on the bottom depresses, but it refuses to "click" like several of these type buttons do. It might be a bad battery, it might be the switch not working, it might be a bad bulb, impossible to know for sure.This is now in the process of being returned, and I'll be purchasing a different brand diver flashlight instead.

Good solid light. Will use in a dive boat operation. have several of them for rental. Hold up well.

I use this as a back up and to loan to customers when i guide them. At the price point im not too concerned if i forget to get it back or loose it. I think ive ordered 8-10 of them over the past 2 years. Both my daughter and i both use them.

Was a lot smaller than I had expected. However the light is bright still, doesn’t weigh you down much, and is easy to use. The battery doesn’t last very long and having to take it out to charge it is kind of inconvenient. But it works well all in all
