UNDERWATER KINETICS 4AA ZOOM eLED/Front Switch Waterproof Flashlight

There is no zoom
If the head is fully tightened, the beam is somewhat like a standard flashlight. The spot beam is a little wider than average, with a bit of peripheral light around it. This might very well be what you want.If you loosen it 2 turns, the spot beam becomes slightly less consistent, with a small square shape appearing in the middle and the rest of the spot beam looking slightly dimmer and barely any wider at all. The peripheral light doesn't change much.If you turn it further than two rotations, the head falls off. That's it. It ranges from an OK spot beam to a sloppy spot beam and that's your only options. Most "zoom" type flashlights are the other way, with the tight beam being the worst and the wide setting being the best.This could be a benefit if you want a brighter spot beam and a weaker flood beam than a reflector setup provides, but don't get this expecting the promised adjustable focus.

Died after first Dive. Buyer Beware.
Went diving with this light once and it malfunctioned. It would not turn off. It was dim lit and fully lit. When I opened the light later when I got home, pieces of it fell out of the top. I did not hit it on anything and it was mounted to my head.. This is either a knockoff or their quality has gone way down hill. Had previous one 3 years...

Greatest flashlight to shine the brightest.
Best light to see in dark areas. I use this for work as a machinist to see in very dark areas. I have them in my family's cars in case stranded at night, they can be seen. They are pricey, but there's a good reason for that. With my grease hands, I often drop them into the pit & I repurchase another right away. So worth it!!! I buy them often, you should too!

UK is the top of the line
I've been using UK flashlights since 1992 and would not EVER buy anything else. I highly recommend UK Underwater Flashlights. This one flooded after the second dive with it though. Have to return it to the factory for replacement.UPDATE: I just received a call from UK. It appears this light which I purchased is not a "dive light", hence the "Waterproof to 10 meters" (which I missed).Being the great company UK is, they are replacing the light with a comparable dive light.That's what I would call well over and above their obligation to provide exemplary customer service. UK has a customer for life who will always use and recommend them.

My Favorite
This is my 2nd one, the 1st was a 3 cell with the button at the back which isn't my favorite design. However the design and quality being the same +/-, it went through the commercial washer 3 times (and always being taken apart) before being rendered in-op on the 4th time (I always forgot to check the side pockets of carpenter pants before wash). Also it has 1 function.... on... none of that SOS BS, or having to cycle through 5-6 different modes like some disco bar, made for a 5 year old just to get to that flashlight thing going... this light is surprisingly bright, has the on-off button where I like it, works well with recharge batteries, and surprise...lasts a long time between charges...Yes I will buy another one , and also I now have a note reminding me not to wash it.

Great light for those who need it.
This is a great light! But it's an expensive light and overkill for most people. If you need a BRIGHT, rugged light that's small in size and weight, this is perfect. If you need a bright light and aren't going to be doing anything really tough or hauling it for long distances, save your money. You can get a good light MUCH cheaper.I work in international disaster response and every ounce counts. Plus my light needs to stand up to the elements and hard use. This is a great light for that.Also, the zoom feature is almost non-existent. Don't expect Mag-lite-like zooming from this light.

Great light!
Good quality, look carefully for the last 2 of the 4AA batteries inside the light

Over the years I have wore out several of these lights. I have used several types. The LED are very bright and can handle a lot of abuse
