Solid Outer...Questionable Inner

Upon opening the box I was impressed with this light and how it looks quite awesome! Hint of tactical with smooth construction and very solid housing. I turned it on and the light was very bright. I'd call it a 5K look because it's a little less blue than others I've seen. It comes with a small lanyard which I will never use (I have a couple XS retractables for certain applications), and 2 CR123 batteries. For those of you that have heard that 123 batteries are expensive...they aren't so no worries there. So I was very happy with it and it was awesome and I couldn't wait to use it on a night dive in cozumel in February...and then I set it down on the counter with the light on. Immediately the light turned off. I shook it and it turned on. That's not good. Long story short there's a SMALL spring in the twist off button cap that connects the button to the battery spring. The battery spring has to be sitting just right on that small spring or it won't make a connection. I 'fixed' it but I hope it doesn't fail on the dive. Going to rent one just in case.

About Ikelite Gamma

Ikelite Gamma, The tactical aluminum dive light, transformed by pure design.

At over 220 lumens in a featherweight 4 ounce frame, Gamma boasts the highest power to weight ratio in its class.

We started with aircraft grade aluminum and precision-machined a supremely ergonomic, no-slip contour grip. We purposefully avoided unnecessary grooves and texturing on the light body to allow it to slide in and out of your pocket without snagging. Military-grade anodizing and a double o-ring seal provide corrosion-proof and waterproof operation up to 400ft (120m). A heavy duty mechanical tail switch provides either continuous or momentary lighting at the touch of a button.

It's not just the sexiest dive light you've ever seen, it's a smart investment.

Start building your lighting system with the addition of a diffuser and mount. Useful as close-up lighting, focus assist, or to amplify a larger primary light source.

Hand crafted with care.
Like every Ikelite product, Gamma is designed, built and tested in the USA. We use locally sourced, top-grade materials from trusted vendors we've been working with for decades. Our lights are built by hand and individually tested for function and waterproof integrity. The average assembly technician is a certified scuba diver and has over 16 years of experience building Ikelite products. We back our products with over 50 years of experience and service within the dive industry.
