Does anyone know if the light is water proof? I'm wondering if I take a spill out of a canoe into the river, is this light toast? Thanks.

I just pulled it of of the wash machine (forgot it in my pocket). The light still works great. I do recommend getting two. If you loose the one, you have a spare, but it makes a great gift!

It is certainly not. The battery is very exposed. However, i have been using this model for tha last 5 years, without any failure of the lamp. I always keep one in my pocket, and I have lost a couple of them. In 5 years i have only changed once the battery, basically it getblost faster than run out of battery or damage. I highly recommend this knife, maybe it is not the most suitable for canoe, but a ziplock bag would do the job.

It has been fine in my pocket during rain, so it would probably be fine as long as it's not salt water. Great knife!

The battery compartment is not waterproof leading to corrosion if submerged.

Tandy, I have not capsized myself in a river with it, but I have got it wet rinsing the blade off after cutting citrus fruits and such, and I've gotten a lot more of the knife wet while doing so than I intended. If I had to guess, it would probably survive a dunk in the water, unless you happened to turn it on accidentally while it's underwater. If you're paranoid, get a dry bag and put your knife and such in it. It also has the added benefit of floating if you get dumped.

My experience has not been as positive as the other responders in wet weather. The light was mounted to my seat stem and the water flung from the rear tire hit the bottom of the light and even with the rubber plug in place water gets into the light. I don't ride in rain very often (maybe 3 times over the past year), but the water has caused the electronics to corrode and the light now will not charge.

I find that the light is water resistant. It held up fine in a drizzle during one of my rides. The battery compartment is well sealed by the fine threading used. It is an all metal body for the light. The push button switch used to operate the different modes is inside a rubber nipple. I would not be afraid to use this light in a rainstorm.

Good morning FA Cabs - This is a very strong and highly efficient lighting fixture. What lamp do you currently have in your floodlight? I look forward to continue to assist you with this - Abraham

NOT GOOD TO SUBMERGE!! Water RESISTANT. Do not even by this flashlight (waste of money!!) I'm returning mine. 25-100 lumens (NOT 1800)

This is not a diving light; it's not submersible AT ALL. It's "weather-proof," but even the most intense rain is very different from immersion. If you immerse this light while it's energized you'll destroy it. If it gets dunked while it's turned off, you MAY be able to save it by removing the batteries ASAP and letting it cook in the sun with the battery case open for a couple days. I suspect a diving light as nice as this thing is going to cost you mega-$$$$. I wouldn't even know where to look.

I believe it is described by the mfgr. as 'water resistant but I'm not 100% sure on that. Personally, I would have no reservations about using it in the rain, considering the solid construction of the light itself. It is a really nice light that throws a LOT of light. I believe it's worth the money.

I can't answer that.I bought mine for indoor use in the garage.It is not too sturdy so any movement causes the light to flash.So if outdoors the wind may keep it moving and the light flashing.It works great in the garage.I don't know if it is water proof.Hope this helps.

Waterproof ratings go from IPX1 to IPX7 (submerged). This headlamp is rated IPX4 which means it is protected from splashing or spraying at any angle. Most people would refer to it as water resistant and you shouldn't have a problem if it gets splashed wet. However, it is not waterproof from submerging in water. If the inside does happen to get wet, most of the time it is fixed by simply letting it fully dry out. Thanks for your question.

This kit is not waterproof and is designed for internal use only. We do have a line of Marine lighting kits, here is the ASIN to the 4pc Blue! B005E12ATO

No. Don't get it wet. It needs to be compliant with FL1 standards. You need to spend about $30 more to get a good waterproof light. But believe me it's worth it!

When I'm not diving with it, I use mine as an every-day light that I keep in my truck. I've only had it about six months, but it works fine. Out of the water, there is a bright center spot with a somewhat dimmer halo. In the water, it diffuses more evenly.

I've worn it in light shower through my 15 minute walk to work. During that time the battery compartment has kept water out. But I would probably add a little non adhesive silicon seal in the battery seams for extra protection. The lamp part appear well sealed to handle heavier rain.

This particular one has a very bright spot in the center of a large flood. We live on the outskirts of town and go out at night a lot, We use the light and are very pleased with it. The spot shines as far as we need it to which is sometimes almost a quater of a mile across the canyon. You won't be disappointed if you purchase it, it is also very compact for it's power.

All I can say is I got this one and I'm very happy with it. I first got it for my hand gun. But after seeing how bright it was even in the day lite I put it on my bow for bow fishing and it works very good even in day lite. Hope this helped

The light is water proof. It works great. Very easy to install. Just that mine did not come with instructions. Overall very happy with them.

This flashlight is not waterproof. However, I did use mine - that I got from Battlbox - to help a friend find his class ring, that he dropped. We were duck hunting on the coast, and I was surprised that the flashlight still worked once we dipped it under. He found his ring, but my flashlight is ruined now. It still works even though parts of it are rusted from the salt water. Long story short, this flashlight will work when wet, but it's best save for an emergency, or you'll ruin it.
