What makes LED dive lights better than traditional (incandescent bulb) lights?
LED dive lights are energy-efficient, durable, and provide brighter, focused beams. They have longer lifespans and better resistance to shocks and impacts, making them reliable for underwater use compared to traditional bulb lights.
Are LED dive lights suitable for deep dives?
Yes, many LED dive lights are designed with high depth ratings, making them suitable for deep dives. Always check the depth rating on the light to ensure it meets the requirements of your planned dives.
What beam options are available in LED dive lights?
LED dive lights offer narrow beams for focused illumination and long-distance visibility or wide beams for illuminating large areas. Choose based on your diving needs, such as night diving or exploring wrecks and caves.
How long do LED dive light batteries last?
Battery life varies by model and usage. LED lights are highly energy-efficient, often providing several hours of operation. Rechargeable batteries are common and convenient to use for extended dive trips.
How do I maintain my LED dive light?
Rinse the light with fresh water after each dive, paying attention to the O-rings and seals. Dry it completely before opening the battery compartment, and store it in a cool, dry place. Periodically check and replace O-rings to maintain waterproof integrity.
