Wurkkos DL08 Dive Light - 3600 Lumens Flood and Spotlight

In this review the Wurkkos DL08 dive light is judged as a versatile midrange underwater torch for recreational and photo-assist diving. It stands out because it combines a very bright 3600 lumen flood mode with a separate spotlight, plus red and UV options, so a diver gets a single compact unit for general illumination, color-accurate imaging, and low-impact night stalking. The DL08 is best for divers who need flexibility and strong flood output without carrying multiple lights.

Key Features

• 4 in 1 lighting: Flood, spotlight, red and UV modes give a complete toolkit for exploration, photography, and observing nocturnal life without switching devices.
• 3600 lumen flood: The wide 133 degree flood beam delivers bright, even coverage ideal for close-range video and illuminating reef scenes.
• High color fidelity: With a 90 CRI rating the flood output reproduces colors and contours faithfully for better underwater photos.
• Dual brightness control: Choose four stepped levels or a continuous dimming range from 10 to 3600 lumens to balance visibility and battery life precisely.
• Durable construction: Tempered glass, 6016 aluminum alloy, and double-layer waterproof seals deliver resistance to impact and saltwater corrosion.
• Rotary switch interface: A rotary selector with a center button makes mode changes and power/brightness adjustments straightforward, even with gloves.

Who It's For

This light suits sport divers and underwater photographers who want one compact unit to cover general dive illumination, wide-angle video fill, and occasional close-up or behavior observation with red and UV options. The combination of a broad flood beam and high CRI is particularly useful for day dives where color rendition matters.

Divers who need the absolute smallest travel lamp or those requiring specialized technical features like mixed-gas depth certification or accessory mount ecosystems should look elsewhere. Also, users who prioritize instant maximum spotlight throw over flood coverage may prefer a dedicated focus beam light.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very bright flood mode up to 3600 lumens with a 133 degree beam for excellent scene illumination.

• Wide dimming range and dual mode control allow fine tuning to extend runtime.

Cons
