Is this flashlight water resistant or water proof? From the name one would suspect it might be, but it does not state that anywhere..

If it doesn't state that its water resistant or water proof the best thing to do is call energizer and ask them . Here is their customer service phone number 800-383-7323

I know it's water resistant; not sure of water proof, which I would imagine would allow it to be immersed in H2O. Best light I own, and have had it for years! Worth the price.

You need a dive light if you want a WATERPROOF flashlight. This cannot be submerged underwater.

Yes it is waterproof and weather proof. However it is certainly not bright. The 28 LED advertised is somewhat misleading. It is like holding a candle in a large forest.

The manufacturer claims it is waterproof to some military standard. Various people have put it underwater with no bad effects; I have no reason to push my luck. I have no doubt it would be fine, say, in a backpack in rain.

Yes it is water proof. But its very tough with the usb charging port cover. Its is kind of a very soft gel which will keeps coming out of the port, no matter how properly you push into the port it will come out for sure. I lost that cover as its came out during my ride. And now my light unit is no more water proof.

the light has a rubber ring that prevent moisture from getting in the battery but i do not think it's submersible. might want to ask the mfg.

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.

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 don't know for sure either way but I really doubt it is water resistant or water proof. I would contact the manufacturer support to be certain.

I havent had a chance to use it when it has been raining or tried soaking it in water :-). But it looks to be waterproof or water resistant though.... If it has some issues i will post it up here on that...

Actually, I don't know if it's waterproof. I haven't used it in the rain so far. I haven't assumed that it is though, although it could be water resistant.

Dear Callistus, I've had mine for several months and it's a good, reliable flashlight, however I have never used it under water. The rubber O rings that are an integral part of the construction of this particular light would not keep your unit dry because it was not constructed to endure the kind of pressure you expose it to. Every 3 feet you descend, the pressure doubles so you do the math. Unless a flashlight manufacturer will clearly state and guarantee the unit will operate at X atmospheres deep, I HIGHLY suggest you not use this unit for underwater operation.

I find that the light is water resistant. It held up fine in a drizzle during one of my rides. The battery compartment is well sealed by the fine threading used. It is an all metal body for the light. The push button switch used to operate the different modes is inside a rubber nipple. I would not be afraid to use this light in a rainstorm.

To a certain degree it is water resistant. The flash light has a rubber seal/ring. The metal should not rust if you shake it dry before putting it away.

I would think that moisture got inside and corroded it out. This flashlight is not waterproof as described.
