ORCATORCH D710V MK2 2300 Lumens Upgraded Underwater Video Light, White Red Violet Tri-Color, 120-Degree Wide Beam Scuba Flashlight for Dive Photography Fill Light and Fluorescent Night Diving

These lights are everything.2 perfectly uniform Regular modes and added Red and UV modes.In regular mode, colors are natural. In UV mode, you can capture truly stunning glow-up pictures!The UV mode is the best I've seen, uniform and wide angle.I had an issue with one of my lights, and Orca Torch replaced it very quickly for me, in time for my next trip. Their customer service is one of the best, and this will keep me getting Orca's.

The media could not be loaded. I’ve used the OrcaTorch D710V on multiple dives now — it’s easily become one of my favorite pieces of dive gear. The build quality is outstanding — solid, rugged, and clearly designed to handle saltwater and deep dives. To hook it up with my gear, I added a bolt snap attachment with extra fluorescent yellow line I had, and now it easily clips onto my BCD.The beam is super bright with great coverage, perfect for both general diving and underwater photography; though obviously more suited for underwater photography/videos due to the wide 120* degree beam. One of the reasons I chose to purchase this light as compared with some competitors was the 2000 lumen setting (many others maxed at 600 lumens), and the brightness does not disappoint in exposing the finest details of underwater creatures. Furthermore, the red and UV modes are excellent for night dives and spotting marine life, though I have not yet fully utilized these modes yet and will continue experimenting with them. Switching between modes is as easy as a light press on the button, even with gloves on (cold water diver).I have also been impressed with its battery life — last week I did 2 dives on the same afternoon with good runtime of this light, and still ended the 2nd dive with a “green” indicator on, meaning more than 40% light still remaining. I also appreciate that it comes with a USB-C rechargeable battery - makes recharging very easy! No water leak issues into the battery (yet but hopefully never!)Overall, an outstanding dive light that delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended for recreational and professional divers alike! Picture and video attached is unedited and not corrected in any way - hence why they are blurry but that's my camera's problem, not the light.

This is my second D710 (first 710V) and I like them a lot. I use the regular D710 I have on every recreational dive (primary during the day and secondary on night dives) but have added this one to the line up to have for bioluminescent dives, esp. ostracod dives! Like the 710, the 710V comes with 2 rechargeable batteries and they last a while (never have issues with battery life). The power button is easy to use and has a nice battery level indicator, which makes it super easy to monitor battery life. Functionality is great and provides enough light for great visibility. Cycling through the light modes is very easy.

I have used this light in Fiji, Japan, Southern California, a couple of wrecks. Photos and video attached below. Note that none of the pictures have been edited, so what you see is what the TG-7 or GoPro recorded.Compare the following picturesFrogfish - White light, red light, blue light (not useful)Squid Run Photos (placed a smaller Odepro light in muck vertically to attract the squid) - White Light (lower setting), red light, blue light (interesting to watch but if moving very difficult to get a decent picture)I'll need to make video shorter to show different light settings (come on back back later!)The D710V has four light levels. Two levels of white for universal use and two (red/blue light) geared more for night photography/video. The strongest white light allows for sweeping views in natural overhangs, crevices, and for the darker corners of wrecks. I did notice that the highest level has a tendency to startle sea life (remember they don't have the same eyelids like us land mammals).If you're camping out to take pictures, I have found dropping to the lower setting is less traumatic and sea life has a tendency to relax a little more - seems to work up in most cases for pictures. In clearer warmer water (Fiji) I did use the highest setting to illuminate areas for fellow divers that had a handheld torch and couldn't quite see how vibrant the reef is at night. On the white wall, I used highest setting to get the soft corals to "pop" more. Japan did require switching back between light settings depending on depth and visibility (to be expected). I am trying to add video from a squid run in La Jolla (large file size). I mention these different locations (not to brag but to show usefulness of this light). Unfortunately, I also tried using the red/blue lights in all of these locations and had different results. Red light was useful for finding sleeping sharks before taking pictures with white light. During the day, I did not find the red light useful. In regards to the night/blue light....pictures never quite turned out. If you are drift diving or looking at dinoflagellates (and other micro life) it is interesting to see, but did not result in any decent pictures. If I had to make a complaint, it would be that the blue light isn't useful beyond a few moments of novelty.

A little expensive but after completing my night dive certification and 6 dives with it seems to work well. One tip before descending make sure it’s not locked first dive I had to go to my backup light for a while until I figured out what was going on. Not sure about it as a photography or video light I will update when I have the chance to use it.

Torch has good build, the beam is wide enough that if aligned properly it covers most of gopro wide angle filming. Two torches cover it perfectly.The ball adapter ring with its set-screw is not a good solution: there is a big gap between the ring and torch body, and the screw will eventually damage the body.The biggest annoyance is that in order to turn off the light one has to toggle between all the modes. For example, if on high brightness, then to shut the light one has to go through low, red and uv. During day dives, one can easily leave it on uv. They could have designed it that after the light is on for 5-10 seconds, pressing the button will shut the light instead of toggling to the next mode.
