In the world of leds there is a lot to choose from rigid, outrigger, ozonium to name a few. These were purchased from my local marine shop I have purchased both cube and light bars some where around 2k in lights for my boat. First time I had to have a couple of them warrantied it took over 2 months, said they were waiting on parts to build a new one.
Next time warranty was about ip68 rating because I do use them as well for under water lights for flounder gigging Warranty was refused.
The owner Stephen dropped f bomb several times in the heated conversation said ip68 ment 30 minutes of submersion and not ment to he submerged for a few hours at a time guess, but these lights state they are for floundering and flounder gigging and made for the harshest saltwater environments the ip68 ridged commercial called the rigid torture test on youtube were they freeze their lights in water amd hit them with a bat gave me a diffent impression of ip68.
At the end of the day you have a very expensive light poorly made and not any better quality thay cheap Chinese. Please dont make the mistake and think these are ridged quality or a premium light for a fews buck cheaper.
Make sure you read plashlight warranty very closely because after you read the warranty it becomes very clear, lights are as is and there is no warranty at all or that is a least what I gather from it.
imapact from rocks dirt branches voids warranty, But there great for off road or my favorite ment for marine and the most extreme saltwater environments but moisture voids warranty
The list goes on and on.
Here are a few picture from my above water phashlights you can see moisture behind the lens of the cube and light bars is loosing its paint.
Stephen as you can see by my underwater light bar picture these lights dont drag the bottom, the bar drags the bottom. The fan motor pushes the boat at a slow walking speed, to fast and well you will do nothing but run flounder over. Most diffintly there is a issue with powder coating even the above water ones are losing paint. But according to plashlight these are floundering and flounder gigging lights designed for the most harshest saltwater environments.
Also Stephen points out to the wiki ip68 definition which is the min requirement to meet ip68 sorry thought I was buying a premium product that exceeds the bare min.
I have sent a email today pointing out what they claim and warranty is very misleading and requested for warranty or prefer refund of all products tomarrow I am headed my local marine shop to speak with the owner and request they drop plashlight unless all is resolved. I am not the one to write negative reviews but spending this much money I do expect to get what I paid for. These were lights advertised for flounder gigging and they are not ment for what they are advertised for. I am open for a solution but feel I should not have to eat the cost. read more
