LED Lenser – D14 Diving Flashlight

This neon-yellow colored waterproof flashlight can be used both underwater and on land. In addition, its performance characteristics are absolutely amazing and top notch with 135 lumens at your disposal. On top of that, its battery life proves to be sufficient with a maximum burn time of 4 hours before you have to recharge it again. It is waterproof, and you can dive as deep as 197 feet (90m) without it giving out. A unique characteristic of this flashlight, though, is its ability to withstand the effect of refraction underwater. This is made possible by the axial collimator integrated into the torch.
