Waterproof to 2 meters and sealed with an "O" ring. I wasn't sold until I had it in my hands. The beam is phenomenal! I agree with purchasing quality batteries. I use eneloop rechargables.

I have always had moisture problems with the flashlights. I remove to top, and store both parts of the light in a sock.

I don't really know if they are "totally immersible" waterproof or not because I have not tested that. I do know however, that I carry mine every night when I walk my dogs, and even in the rain. I clip it on my pocket and it's always worked when I needed it to do so. I think this is the BEST little flashlight I have ever owned or used. I am a police officer and I have never seen a better, more powerful light that holds up to being dropped and everything that I have done to it. Hope that helps you.

I think its pretty weather resistant, wouldn't say waterproof though. As long as your not in a hurricane downpour I think it will hold up pretty well. Would not submerge it though. I have yet to find a brighter light. This is my second Thor light in 10 years, the first was a Thor X 10 million. Bulbs and batteries are replaceable as well. The bulbs are basicly car headlamps.

It has a small rubber o-ring where the top screws into the battery compartment. Other than that there is not any other water-proofing available. As far as I can tell this would only make it water resistant towards rain. I would not call it water-proof at all. It is a great, bright flashlight though!

.. In theory it should, I used the Flashlight in the rain in many occasions and it was ok. But I would not submerge the Flashlight in the water... actually I haven't done that yet...

I think that the unit is water resistant which is NOT waterproof. The light is recharged via a USB slot and therefore prone to some possible water seepage. There is a rubber insert that slots into the USB port but that can be dislodged if not inserted carefully and therefore could expose the unit to possible water leakage.

Sorry to hear about the problems you encountered. I've had no problems with mine since I purchased it. Seems like you received two defective flashlights. Suggest you request replacements or a refund from the company. I have no other suggestions as to what's causing those problems.

The manufacturer claims it is waterproof to some military standard. Various people have put it underwater with no bad effects; I have no reason to push my luck. I have no doubt it would be fine, say, in a backpack in rain.

It has a decent O ring on the barrel. I'd say it's safely water resistant for normal use, but I wouldn't dive with it. It's a great light!

Absolutely NOT !!These flashlights are waterproof meaning that if some rain falls on them they may still work. Do not put in water.

Not waterproof (e.g., completely submerged), but most certain will keep water, mud, dirt, dust and other debris out under normal conditions. I've read that some people have used a thicker seal than the one that it came with.

There is a web site where someone has tested the flashlight, it states it is submersible in water, http://www.flashlightreviews.com/reviews/pelican_2000.htm

I leave mine on the charger between uses and have not noticed an issue, it is a great light though, the beam will really reach out to light up things with a clear lighting not the yellowish light you can get with some flashlights.

The torch appears to be water resistant. Once the battery has been installed and the torch is closed, there does not seem to be a great danger of wetting the internal circuitry. Even so, I would not attempt to use this product as an underwater torch. For that role it would need to be more than water resistant, it would need to be water proof. There is a lack of product information delivered with the torch, but I would not I am still pleased with the torch and I do not fear taking it into the rain.

I haven't submerged the light but can't imagine it being water tight. Light would be plentiful I'm sure. You can use this thing instead of your headlights to drive almost. It does have an o ring on the back battery compartment. The lens portion is what I'm not sure about.

It is water proof to some extent. Its not 1300 linens but more like 200/250. Costco sells a 4 pack 250 lumen flashlight for about 20 and they run on regular batteries. The batteries cost alot for this if you need to replace the and the light dims with use so its brightest right after a charge. I keep this in my truck for emergency use but use that Costco one all the time because its less hassle.
