Underwater Flashlight | Boruit

An underwater flashlight is specifically designed to operate in submerged conditions, featuring sealed casings and waterproof materials to prevent water ingress. In contrast, a regular flashlight lacks these protective features and is not suitable for underwater use.

A flashlight suitable for underwater use must withstand water pressure and prevent leaks. Such an underwater flashlight typically uses durable materials like aircraft-grade aluminum and features waterproof seals.

The required lumens for an underwater flashlight depend on the depth and activity. For recreational activities, 1000 to 2000 lumens are suitable for depths up to 80 feet. Deeper dives may require higher lumen counts.

The waterproof rating indicates the level of protection against water ingress. For underwater flashlights, an IPX8 rating means the flashlight can be submerged beyond 1 meter, making it suitable for underwater use.
