Wurkkos DL08 flashlight
Wurkkos DL08 flashlight is a versatile diving flashlight designed for diving, underwater photography, and spearfishing. Its main strength is the ability to switch between spot, flood, red light, and UV, making it particularly interesting for hole hunting.
Four Lighting Options
The DL08 uses an SFT40 LED for the spot beam, with a narrow 12° beam that is useful when you need to concentrate the light and search inside holes and crevices.
The 5000K CRI 90 flood beam, with a very wide 133° beam angle, is better suited for illuminating larger areas and observing the surrounding environment.
The flashlight also features a 660nm red light and a 365nm UV LED, useful for specific situations and applications.
DL08 for Hole Hunting
For spearfishing and especially hole hunting, the combination of power and a concentrated beam is one of the DL08’s most interesting features.
The 12° spot beam allows you to direct the light into cracks, holes, and crevices without unnecessarily lighting up the entire area. Switching to the flood beam is useful when you need a wider view of the surroundings.
The flashlight has a maximum claimed output of up to 3,600 lumens, while the ATR temperature regulation system automatically reduces output when necessary to control heat.
Build Quality and Battery
The DL08 is made from 6061 aluminum, uses a 21700 battery, and features USB-C charging.
Wurkkos rates it IP68 waterproof up to 100 meters, making it suitable for demanding underwater use.
The flashlight is approximately 139 mm long, with a 40 mm head diameter. It is not a particularly small flashlight, but its size is reasonable considering its power and range of features.
