Thanks to Ken Gustafson for sharing his informative opinion about the Orcatorch D560 mini dive headlight based on his real-life experience!
" I wanted a tiny backup light that I could use on vacation or keep in my dry-suit pocket here at home as a backup to my backup light. The D560 rated 630 lumens on a flashlight that's only 9cm long had me intrigued. I did some cold water dives in Puget Sound as well as a week diving off Isle Cozumel in Mexico.
Pros:
-Bright and sustainable output.
-No so bright that you are blinding the marine life.
-Good color spectrum for underwater use.
-Solid build quality.
-Good Size. It’s tiny
-Very lightweight.
-Twist On/Off for easy use.
-The rotary head switch offers high reliability underwater. I much prefer the twist over a button style.
-Includes one aaa battery
-Adds safety to any dive
-150m rated depth makes this usable to technical and recreational divers.
-Good value
-Light is offered in three color options
-Excellent backup light.
-Nice that you can use a standard alkaline battery found worldwide if needed.
-Compatible with AA batteries and 14500 batteries.
-Perfect for travel
-Can be used on land or sea
-It’s the little light that could. It has earned a spot in my dive kit. "
