Review: Liquid Image 5.5 Watt Waterproof Dive Light

The Liquid Image 5.5 Watt Waterproof dive light is the type of device that was built for reliability and decent performance. Although it’s not the most powerful diving flashlight on the market, it is a good choice if you just want a diving light that offers good output. Here’s what you can expect from the product.

Features

Liquid Image’s 5.5 Watt Waterproof torch has a maximum output of 330 lumens, which is fairly decent for a small dive light. The light has a 60-degree beam angle, making it a versatile secondary light for night dives or a reliable primary light for daytime excursions. However, what’s most impressive about the dive light is that it has a depth rating of 400 feet, which is quite deep for a torch of its size. Combined with its 3 hour burn time, it is the kind of device that you buy if you prioritize practicality above everything else. Finally, it’s worth mentioning that each Liquid Image dive light, including the 5.5 watt version, includes a charger and rechargeable batteries, both of which can be very useful for extended trips.

Pros

  • Good output
  • Superb range
  • Decent beam angle
  • Good depth rating
  • Comes with rechargeable batteries
  • Very durable

Cons

  • Lacks special features
  • A little heavy given its size

All in all, the Liquid Image 5.5 Watt Waterproof Torch Dive Light is a good, reliable diving light. It may not have a lot of extra features or any cutting edge technology, but it performs very well. It can also withstand a lot of abuse, which is always a good thing. So if you’re looking for a practical diving light for an affordable price, then you can’t go wrong with the Liquid Image 5.5 watt dive light.
