I met another diver with one of these lights and was amazed at how superior it was to the plastic UK lights I was carrying. I had reasoned that the UK lights must be good because that is what my dive shop (a most reputable and reliable place) offered. Lesson learned.
The beam is bright and uniform. The color spectrum is obviously close to natural sunlight, i.e. white. And the light fits easily in my BC pocket where I carry it on all my day dives to peer into overhangs or crevasses, perfect for critter spotting. It was all I needed on a recent wreck dive to explore the holds and the cabin during a morning dive while the sun was still a bit low. I thought about buying the more expensive Intova Nova, but both lights have an LED output of 130 lumens and 4.7 watts. They both use CR123A batteries. The only difference appears to be the lens; this light is called a wide angle torch and the other is advertised as having a "concentrated power beam." I am not sure what advantage that is but the other light is much more expensive. An adjustable beam would be a nice refinement in any event.
One of the best things about this light is that it is very easy to handle. It comes with a durable padded wrist strap and a carrying case. Unlike the UK lights that one must turn on by twisting the bulb housing in to tighten it down on the battery contact, a most worrisome arrangement, one turns on the Intova by pushing a large conveniently located switch. The body of the light is aluminum painted black. The batteries are protected by two O-rings and are accessed from the base. That means that the LED is totally sealed, and as far as I can tell inaccessible, assuring that it will not be flooded inadvertently.
The batteries hold a charge for several dives and are rechargeable. This does necessitate carrying a charger and if one is diving in other parts of the world a current converter, but that is pretty much standard for high quality electronics.
I bought two of these lights and I did notice that one was considerably brighter than the other. This was probably due to variable charge on the battery. Charge them up before your first dive.

I've been diving since '93 and have had a fair number of lights over the years. I still love my big old UK1200 but it's a monster with 8 D Cells and I wanted a really good small backup light that could be kept with me all the time.
So I bought one of these and was astonished at how good it is. And so immediately bought a 2nd. We just got back from 8 days in Bonaire and I kept one with me during day dives, where it came in very handy for looking under ledges below about 40-50'. And I used both of them, one in each hand, for night dives.
Other lights have a "hot spot", and then a "halo" around that. This Intova Wide Angle has a single very wide hot spot. There is no discernible difference between the center and edges - it is simply one BIG hot spot. Quite bright and clear. If you have 2 of them, then you can pan them back and forth and bathe a very impressive swath of reef. If you want "more light" then simply overlap the two beams and VOILA - you get nearly double the output. So for $110 - get two of these and you will be very happy indeed.
The batteries last a good long time. Intova claims something like 8 hours or more. I'd say from my experience that you can get a good 5-6 hours, and they get dimmer after that.
Replacement batteries do not need to be all that expensive - just do a search on any major engine for CR-123 or CR-123a and you'll find these for about $1 per battery (2 needed) - so get a bunch and you're set - they are lithium and should really last.
Everything that you want to see from 1-15 feet - these are ideal. They do NOT have the penetrating power of a "true primary light" but that's ok by me since I'm highly focused on everything within 15', and usually 10' or less, at night.
I would say that these are the BEST 2ndary light ever, hands-down. But, I made very good use of them as a pair for my primary, and let one of our group borrow my monster UK1200.
I had considered getting Intova's high-end 3 LED primary but for $250, it didn't make sense, especially when I can just hold these 2 together and double-up my output whenever I like.
Bottom line - GET one, or better yet get two.

I used this flashlight recently on a deep dive to see how it would perform. I was around 100 feet with good viz. I turned it on to see what was under a wreck. It illuminated the area perfectly. I wanted to give it 3.5 stars, but reduced it to 3 because of two reasons:
First, the switch was not easy to turn on with the thick dry gloves I was wearing. I had to look at the casing and work the switch. It wasn't too difficult, but I prefer being able to turn a light on without looking. I am having second thoughts as having this as a backup light for night dives.
Second, the battery it uses is not the standard C or D cell. I haven't looked for this battery, so I don't know how easy it is to replace yet. It would have been nice to have a common battery type.

Great scuba light
I bought this and a narrow angle Tovatec scuba light. I like them both equally. This is my primary open water night light which I use with an Oxycheq hand mount.

The light is a good weight for diving and very solid. Provided excellent brightness during night dives and I was very impressed with the quality and price.

Dive Light
This light is awesome and extremely bright. It is a wide angle light so don't expect to use it to shine at long ranges.
