Overall Appearance
This flashlight is a full-bodied Aluminum alloy construction and is anti-corrosion. It is waterproof with extremely HARDEND and TOUGH finish. The tactical head of this flashlight is little bigger than the barrel with built in 3 groves on the lower edge of the barrel to make it good looking and to help give good grip when used underwater. The registered trademark “DORCY” is significantly marked on one side of the barrel. The tail cap has two built in holes for convenient lanyard/wrist strap.

Bezel / Head
The tactical head comprises of “twist on and twist off” function. Just rotate the head of the flashlight to turn on & off to operate it. High quality transparent glass lens have been used which does not allow any impression on it when anything touches its surface to deliver best results when used underwater. A very shiny deep optimized reflector system has been used for maximum light output. The lens is a bit dug in to provide protection in case anything rough hits directly; and also this helps the flashlight to be placed upside down. LED and its circuit are permanently fixed inside the head. Aluminum heat sink has been placed with the circuit to absorb the heat generated by the high power output LED to further improve it’s over all performance.

LED
The LED used in the flashlight is K2 Super Flux LED that offers high-tech performance and it produces up to 180 Lumens of the light output.

Output
The light generated by the flashlight is pure white. Its light throw covers submersible (IPX) to depth of 100 meters (User should keep in mind about his eyesight). The center spot covers around 80% of the light output while using the remaining 20% to provide a bright area around the center spot to illuminate a wide view sphere.

Tail cap
The tail cap is a part of the barrel and is unscrew able. The tail has two holes for convenient lanyard / wrist strap. Bottom of the tail cap is approximately 1cm dug in to provide enough space for the two holes for convenient lanyard / wrist strap.

Batteries
6 AAA size batteries are required to run this flashlight. The flashlight uses a battery cartridge which has a place for 2 AAA size batteries on one side and 4 AAA size batteries on the other side. For the batteries replacements unscrew the head. Take out the battery cartridge; replace the old batteries with new set of 6 AAA size batteries (Alkaline and NiMH). Please note the polarity of the cartridge while putting it back in the body tube. Place the head in its position. Press the head and screw it to make the flashlight ready for action. Note: The head of this flashlight is very tight when you unscrew it for the first time.

Seals / Water Resistance
Two rubber o-rings in the body tube have been placed with a little gap between them to work as double seal. This makes it completely water resistant and has the same effective function in deep waters. The head and barrel are both water resistant.

Ergonomics
The body tube or barrel and the head have groves which make it attractive. This also provides an over all solid grip. This flashlight is very handy especially for underwater operations and can also be used for most kind of flashlight usage.
