I was asked by the company “A4C” to review the LuxStone X30 Diving/Searchlight. The light was sent free of charge in exchange for my review but as always I will do my best to give my honest opinion , so here we go.
I will say first , this is a Monster of a light at 3.4 pounds. (although that wont be a lot of a factor underwater) It does come with a built on handle and a shoulder strap though and is balanced well in the hand when using the handle. It does have an olderEDIT: I did a couple of run time test on the light on high mode and the first test went 1 hour and 28 minutes , the second test went 1 hour and 33 minutes before the LVP kicked in an turned off the light , it did maintain full brightness until it went off. The light does get pretty hot after all that time , but that was also indoors and it does not get quiet so hot outside with air movement. It never got so hot it would blister you instantly or anything like that.
Video and then Specs from owners manual listed below that.
If you wish to watch in full screen and that option does not work , just click the “youtube” tab at the bottom of video screen , as I sometimes have trouble with the full screen option and have to watch videos on the youtube site , to get full screen.

yes they contacted me too, but shipping to France could not be done through the system.
I really like the design, different.
Thanks for the review, wanted to see more since i first clicked the Amazon link for this hefty priced light!

Sorry grammarlovers, I am a real King Typo.
Nice video review.
That is a massive, single emitter reflector! Can you tell how deep it is, or can Luxstone give you that measurement? It is a shame they used an outdated emitter.
It looks like the control switch/wheel should be intuitive and let you adjust/ramp the light with your thumb. Is it easy to use and adjust on the fly?
No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar nor under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.
My Reviews: Ma
Nice review. Looks like quite the light for those with a specialized need.
With the light being sealed I cant get a measurement on the depth of the reflector, I did hold it next to the 2X and looked at it though and it is about 1 1/4 inches deeper than the 2X reflector is just eyeballing it. The side wheel is easy to use and can be turned with your thumb while you are holding the light with the handle pretty easily.

The Miller , it definitely is different but at the same time it is comfortable to use , to be such a hefty light.
Also thanks MG

Good review Dave.
I do like some features with this light – rotating output dial, charge indicators, very nice carry case etc, and it appears very well made. But ….. I would also like to play with it for a few weeks and make a few changes. At 137,500k its range is more like 740 meters than claimed 1km – and as discussed it’s an ideal candidate for an led upgrade – a dedomed XM2-U4 or perhaps an MTG2. Would also need to lose about half its weight, and half its cost – but if you think of it as a prototype the elements are there for a very interesting development towards a second model.
Is the company open to some design input?
I don’t really know yet if they are interested in changing , the actual company making the lights is a different company than the ones selling them, I don’t know if it will be pursued in the end or not just kind of depends on what they may be willing to do (or not do)
