How waterproof is this flashlight actually?

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!

It appears to be waterresistant, as the back screws off and it has a large "o" ring. I don't think that you would want to submerge it. The light has a "ruggedized" appearance and hase been very durable, as I use it for a spot light on the boat and it gets bumped around a little. Fire service...hmmm This is a fairly large spot light, but it is bright and the batteries go a long way witht the LED. I would think that you might want to evaluate a metal-cased smaller light for the service.

it says its water resistant, i believe that the connection between the battery and the light is very secure and is water tight, i wouldn't recommend dunking this in water but for rain i think you are A okay. as far as the lumens i believe it is closer to 1200. the directions you get with the box are very vague but if you look on youtube there are many more features with it

I know it's water resistant; not sure of water proof, which I would imagine would allow it to be immersed in H2O. Best light I own, and have had it for years! Worth the price.

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!

Yes, Mine gets wet by waves all the time. I also leave it on my yak in the rain. The fish-finder is in fact waterproof. The battery is fine if it gets wet as long as its not submerged for any extended time. I have accidental submerged the battery under with no adverse effect.

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 is water resistant and not water proof. The flashlight has a O ring. Trustfire has a waterproof flashlight to scuba dive, with TWO O rings, giving a perfect seal. regards

It is not waterproof. There are no gaskets to seal the battery compartment and the telescoping lamp it metal to metal with no gasket. It is 5w and 300lm. For the $3.60, it is a very bright light for the money, but I wouldn't wear it in a downpour.

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

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.

I would say water resistant. It's got rubber seals on all the threads but I think it would eventually leak through with a scuba dive. Great light though.

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.

Yes, it is waterproof. However, it snaps a lot of nothing shots. The battery compartment got a bunch of some type of bugs in it while out in the woods.

Not so sure the seals would hold up. I'd say this is more of a water-resistant IP67 flashlight, not an actual IP68 waterproof. But you should try it. It is so cheap you could buy 4 of these for the price of a waterproof known brand flashlight. It is extremely bright.

I cannot answer as to whether the light is waterproof or not but I do not hesitate to use it in wet conditions. There is an o-ring between the battery and bulb sections which seems to keep moisture out of the light.

I do not believe it is waterproof since the sliding trigger has an opening into the handle that will admit water in an immersion situation. Other that that, it looks to be weather resistant and is ruggedly constructed and extremely bright for it's size.
