From what I’ve read so far, in summary:
1. The L2P is not waterproof even though it says it is on the Solarforce website
2. A lot of other torches that say they are ‘water resistant’ may not be either so I am better off getting a dive torch
3. That I should get a torch with little spill and pure throw if I am not submerging it in the water.
I am keen now on the New-CK36 Recoil Cree XR-E Q5 250lm 3-Mode White Light Flashlight - Grey (1 x 18650) recommended earlier but some of the reviews on http://dx.com/p/new-ck36-recoil-cree-xr-e-q5-350lm-3-mode-white-light-flashlight-grey-1-x-18650-156022#.UtjkKbR0mSo seem to mention that it is only good for ‘distant’ lighting. Does this mean the torch will not be good for my intended purposes?
I don’t have much time to do research on torches so I’d be happy to pull the trigger tonight or tomorrow on the torch on this link New cheap 26650 diving light at DX if the Recoil Thower is not for me.
Similarly, I could buy the torch on this site http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/New-2000LM-500M-UltraFire-CREE-XM-L-U2-T6-LED-Flashlight-Torch-18650-Charger-/190974368044?pt=AU_Sport_Camping_Hiking_Lamps_Torches&hash=item2c76f5992c as it says it is waterproof.
But again, down to the point, is this torch likely to be waterproof because it says it is or not? And is there anything wrong with it?
Thanks everyone with their help. I’ll be happy to make a decision tonight or tomorrow. Please let me know if any of you have any final advice to give. I appreciate all the feedback so far.
