Opps, just noticed that’s just the light and not the kit (w/ charger and 21700). Make sure if you want the (pretty good 4000mAH/40A) cell as well to order the kit.

Thanks for catching that. Updated post accordingly and added link to Amazon SD05 kit.

Kewl. Those chargers are great for the muggle. Plug in, red turns green, done. No muss, no fuss.

And it’s definitely worth getting the kit, as I haven’t had to order any 21s as long as they’re included in Sofirn lights (SD05, C8F, etc.).

Sorry about that. There's currently at 20% coupon that you can apply to bring it down to $24.07

Got one, Sure wish it was a different color, but I've been wanting to try out one of those ringy thingies.

Anyone actually use it underwater?

Not me. Finding the right dive flashlight depends on your use case. Here are some criteria for dive flashlights:

Ease of Use
Comfort/Security of Grip or Mount
Beam Size and Shape
Light Output
Power Levels
Use as a Primary Light

The Sofirn SD05 is easy to use, wide beam, bright and you can use it as an EDC when not in the water. Some prefer no USB charging port built in because they don't trust the little silicone/rubber cover.

I just did a dunk test on mine in a utility sink, that’s it. I’m allergic to drownding.

pennzy · 2019-07-18T16:57:37.000Z

Me too. I was just wondering if it is a serious diving light or just an extra waterproof land lover light.

pennzy · 2019-07-18T21:39:47.000Z

Can’t find the color temperature.

SIZE. Beam, wise, Almost a clone of the Imalent DN35.
Apart from the 2200 against 2550 high.
Rotary via click switches. and 21000 over the 26650 cells.

If it half as good it’ll be a good light.

I have a 3 led Divers light 2 x 26650 cells.
Magnetic On/OFF only sw Magic,
Great all weather torch.

They tend to be both better made and better proofing than std ones.

Cool White. @6000K
