IPX8 torches

IPX8 torches are tested for use under water: the manufacturer decides to what depth and for how long, as long as that is more demanding than the fixed IPX7 test (1 metre, 30 minutes). Please note: an IPX8 classification does not make your flashlight a diving light. For prolonged use or greater depth, you need a real diving light, specifically built and tested for that purpose. View the other classes above if you prefer lighter protection.

Features of IPX8 torches

An IPX8 torch is tested for submersion under conditions determined by the manufacturer: the standard does not prescribe a fixed depth or duration, only that the test must be more demanding than that for IPX7 (1 metre, 30 minutes). In practice, this usually means a few metres of depth for a limited time, not hours of use at great depth.

That makes an IPX8 torch suitable for falling into the water, a trip by kayak or a short dip, but it is not a replacement for a real diving light. Diving torches are specifically built and tested for prolonged use at depth, with a housing and seal designed for exactly that.

After use in salt water, always rinse the lamp with fresh water; salt can affect the seals over time. Store the lamp dry and check the sealing ring for dirt or damage before use.
