Is this flashlight waterproof?

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!

I cannot verify whether it is truly waterproof, but it would certainly survive a quick dunk or light moisture. There is a rubber o-ring around the head of the flashlight that I assume is intended to prevent moisture from leaking into the electronics. It also comes with several replacement o-rings.

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.

As others have answered, I do not know if it is waterPROOF, not having immersed it; however, I believe it to be somewhat water resistant. The o-ring seal between the head and battery compartment assembly is only tight when the flashlight is turned on (twist head slightly counterclockwise from battery end). It wouldn't make a diving light anyway. None the less, this is a great light, do not let water concerns stop you.

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

I only went 8 feet deep. I have it for emergencies and not for regular submersive use like diving. I think you might want a more specialized flashlight for a specific use underwater, however, it has not leaked yet. It is great in the rain!!! LOL

Doing further research on the light it does mention that it is waterproof and skid proof but examining my light itself here is what I can say. There are thin rubber seals like those found in waterproof watches in the tail cap and the bulb cap. I can't say how well it stands up in real conditions but I have run it under the faucet and no water leaked through the tail or bulb cap. The telescoping part is the only concern I have if using it under long periods of time in rain

Great little flashlight but NO - it cannot withstand being submerged in water. I bought it for my boat hoping it would, but the case design has a tiny hole that will immediately let in water and would ruin the flashlight. You'll be fine in the rain, but if it goes underwater, lights out!

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 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 not waterproof. It's fine if it raining, but water would get in to the battery compartment if submerged.

No, it has a water resistant gasket on the battery door, but it isn't waterproof.

It is not waterproof, no "O" rings to seal working parts. Will resist moderate drizzle/rain, or at least mine has so far. Light is really bright for such a small unit. I suggest you invest in Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. I know they are expensive, but they last a really long time in this unit. I got rid of the head band and used nylon cable ties to secure it to my safety vest.

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.

I've never gotten it wet enough to know... but the design seems that it would be fine. Keep in mind it's also designed to be used in off-road biking applications: think streams, mud, etc. I wouldn't hesitate using it in the rain. Don't know if you've ever had a light before, but I upgraded from their 100 Lumin. This one is incredible.

This is not designed to be submerged in water. I have not had it in the rain but I imagine it would hold up in a light rain if left outside. As far as shockproof it is made of hard plastic. We use it for basic camping and it serves the purpose well. Bright and easy to use. The detachable lights are real handy for walking to your tent. Like having four separate flashlights.

No, it's not waterproof. I bought mine hoping that the military - style cover would protect it from the occasional splash exposure on my pontoon boat, and had to replace it within a month, after 1 rainstorm. Get one with an add - on boot. You won't get the pretty light, but you'll have a switch that works when you need it.

It's water resistant, I wouldn't take it underwater though. Rain should be no problem for these lights...

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

I would say yes to it being waterproof. Everything is inside of a single housing piece. The back unscrews to access the batteries and light bulb and there is a tight seal between the housing and the back that screws on. As for being good for the fire service, I'm not sure what temperature the case would melt. It's durable but I'm sure it would melt at some temperature. It's just a matter of knowing that temperature.
