The XTAR D36 diving flashlight features a maximum power of 5800lm and multiple lighting modes. An ideal choice for professional and non-professional divers, cave exploration, and deep-water activities. Thanks to its IPX8 certified waterproofing, it can illuminate every dive up to 100 meters below the dark sea.
Ease of Use
The clear OLED display informs you of the remaining operating time, the current mode, and the lumens. It features a low power indicator that keeps you informed at all times about the status of your light. When the battery level is low, the brightness will automatically decrease, and when it is below 10%, the light behind the switch will change to red as a reminder to the user.
Safety & Comfort
The flashlight has all the necessary conditions and specifications for uninterrupted operation. The intelligent temperature control protects against possible overheating of the flashlight and ensures safe underwater operation for a long period of time. When the internal temperature reaches 70 degrees Celsius, the flashlight automatically lowers the brightness until it reaches the correct operating temperature. The D26 1600S diving flashlight is equipped with reverse polarity protection. It forgives mistakes even if you insert the battery incorrectly. Insert the battery according to the +,- markings you will see on your flashlight.

NEVER! If I could give it a minus, I would. At 1600, it barely lasts 20 minutes. At first, it's good, and if you manage to take a photo, you’re lucky. Fortunately, the people here at xtar are excellent and understanding, and they aren't to blame! Stay away. Just a hassle! NEVER!
2500lm for the 100€ I got it, it's worth it, everything is good, at night there is nothing left, it keeps the city in sight, maybe a couple of hours at the end, it's powerful, you just have to be careful not to let it slip out of your hands in the sea
Positive: Beautiful lens, very bright, lightweight and small. It also comes with 2 spare rubber bands and a rechargeable battery that you can replace if it dies. The packaging is nice too, although I would prefer a case so that it can be stored with wet equipment after diving.
Negative: After only 5-10 times of underwater use (with washing and storage in the box after each use), the switch becomes difficult to open. The dimmer switch has no meaning at all. It also does not have a lock switch and easily opens by accident. I consider the last two points to be minor details, but since the switch breaks so quickly, it definitely is not worth so much money. (in the positives of the negatives: it has another switch for replacement in the box)
Update: 1 year later, many problems. I do not recommend it.
So as a flashlight at full power it's good, but it illuminates very brightly and closely, so it's not very useful for anything other than rock holes! The negative thing about it at full power, meaning 5800 lumens, is that it only lasts 40 minutes at most! In its lowest setting, where the light extends far like a laser, it's very good, but again the downside is the battery life. Other flashlights that are standard 2000 lumens last much longer! 3500mAh is considered very low for a flashlight that can work at 5800 lumens. Advice: NEVER, I repeat NEVER forget the battery inside the flashlight, because if it runs out while you have forgotten it inside the flashlight, it automatically becomes useless and you have to replace it! I now have the third battery! The big positive is that they have very good support and service, and they changed the batteries for me without a second thought as long as the warranty was valid, without even having the purchase receipt!
I gave 100 euros to buy this specific lens, I don't know what material it is made of but it has corroded and broken in many places despite taking good care of it! Another disadvantage is that it has been damaged by salt!
As for the light, it is indeed strong, but if the material is not good, what can you do with it?
First of all, I would like to mention that for anyone who does shallow fishing, therefore solar light is an issue, I consider the (real) 1,000 lumens (not to mention the 1,500 lumens) to be the minimum.
Furthermore, the saying "You get what you pay for" applies fully. Therefore, by having ~100€ to buy a flashlight (when entry-level ones cost ~20€ and top ones cost ~350€), you are aware of what you will get.

I am coming back after 2.5 months of use. As already mentioned, the button of the flashlight is pressed very easily, resulting in the flashlight often being turned on (inside or outside the water), with all the negative consequences that this entails.
Also, the "pressing" for 3 seconds to turn it off is not convenient at all, compared to flashlights with switch buttons (2 positions).
Finally, in terms of brightness, it is considered "borderline" for those who do shallow fishing or want to illuminate a chamber from a distance.
I would not recommend it, they have consistently had problems.
The older models corroded, and the latest ones leak water. The manufacturer does not cover anyone for water damage, so you cry for your money, speaking from experience. Personally, it took water from a fixed joint, in a lens with minimal use, and the warranty does not cover it. Unthinkable. Very expensive, questionable quality, no guarantee.
Πολυ ευχαριστημενος ,με επισης μπαταρια XTAR 26650 το΄'χω σετ 5 χρονια.(το '14 η '15 αγορα)
Ομολογω τα δυο τελευταια οχι τοσο εντονη χρηση αλλα τα δυο πρωτα δουλευε σχεδον καθημερινα μεσα και εξω απ το νερο.
Η μπαταρια τωρα τελευταια αρχισε να χανει χρονο λειτουργιας και να αργει περισσότερο στην φορτιση.
Στην αρχη εβγαζε 4+ ωρες στη μεσαια "σκαλα" αλλα και στην μεγαλη κατα διαστηματα.
Ριχνει αυτοματα την ενταση οταν πεφτει η μπαταρια.
Μειονεκτημα διακοπτης -που κλειδώνει ελαφρως στο off (καλο) ειναι λιγο "αργος" ειδικα στο σβησιμο που πρεπει να κανεις συνήθεια το παρατεταμενο πατημα στην αναδυση και αν γεμισει αμμο κολλαει,λυνεται για καθαρισμα αλλα προσοχη μην χαθει η μπιλια και το ελατηριο.(υπαρχουν ανταλλακτικα)
Με μια στροφη ξεβιδωμα δεν αναβει (χωρις απωλειες μπαταριας στην αποθηκευση δηλ) αλλα και δεν μπαινει νερο αν ξεχαστεις.
Πεντε αστερια γιατι εχει βγει αξιόπιστο και δυνατο οποιαδηποτε ατελεια δε με χαλαει.
Well, I'll start with the delivery.. It arrived one day earlier than the initial delivery date.. So I say super.. Now, as for the product or its construction, it looks excellent, unfortunately due to the lockdown I didn't have the chance to try it out... Very satisfied so far. I will come back in the future for more details.. I will definitely make a purchase from here again.

I have purchased the product in the photo, d26 1600 with the 26650 battery included in the box. Reliable flashlight, very bright and the o-rings seem to be of high quality compared to the xdive flashlights I had. The only problem that I hadn't anticipated is that because it doesn't have a two-position switch, I can't tell by touch when the flashlight is on or off between dives when my mind is elsewhere. It also takes 3 seconds of pressing the button to turn it off. Now I press it for much longer and occasionally put my hand in front of it to see if it's turned on. It has become a habit now. Another issue is that it requires caution during transportation and storage because the button is easily pressed and sometimes it turns on inside the car or boat and I find it on. However, the battery is a beast and has never let me down, I really don't know what they have done but it lasts a ridiculously long time. That's all for now. Happy diving
Πολυ δυνατος. κανει την τρυπα μερα σε πρωινο ψαροντουφεκο. Βαλτε τη 26650, τη μεγαλη μπαταρια της xtar, που εχει και προστασιες υπερφορτωσης. Δεν υπαρχει καλυτερος σε αυτα τα λευτα.
Πολύ δυνατός και αξιοπιστος φακός,δεν έχει καμία σχέση με τους οικονομικούς φακούς του εμπορίου.
Στα συν επίσης ότι μπορεί να πάρει μεγάλη μπαταρία για περισσότερη αυτονομία.
Τον συνιστώ ανεπιφύλακτα για ψαροντουφεκο ή απλα για υποβρύχια χρήση.
Αγορασα χθες τον φακο σε φουλ σετ, φυσικα δεν μπορω να γνωριζω πως θα συμπεριφερθει σε βαθος χρονου αλλα σαν πρωτη εικονα εχουμε αρκετα θετικα και 1-2 μικρο αρνητικα
στα θετικα θα εβαζα σιγουρα την ποιοτητα κατασκευης μονο που το βλεπεις και το πιανεις αντιλαμβανεσε ποσο στιβαρη κατασκευη ειναι οπως και στα σπειρωματα για την μπαταρια ποσο καλα στεγανο ειναι, το on/off κουμπι και η ασφαλια αλλα και η σκαλες (ρυθμιση) εντασης ειναι αρκετα ευχρηστο και εξισου καλης κατσκευης, 5000mAh μπαταρια αρκετη για την υποβρυχια χρηση που θελω, δυνατοτητα και για universal και ποιο μικρης χωρητικοτιτας μπαταρια, φορτιστης εξωτερικος-μπριζας-αυτοκινητου και pc στο κιτ, ελληνικο manual
στα αρνητικα θα εβαζα οτι στο manual εχει λιγο διαφορετικα τα χρωματα στην φορτιση (σε μενα αναβαν ολα μπλε και απλα εδειχνε σαν σκαλες να ανεβενει επισης δεν αναφεροταν σε πρωτη φορτιση) ενα αλλο ειναι οτι οταν αλλαζα σκαλες εντασης πρωτα μου αναβε η 600LM και μετα η 1100lm ισως εχει καποια λογικη εμενα δεν μου κολλαγε
τωρα η τιμη ειναι κατι υποκειμενικο διοτι ολοι οι καταδυτικοι φακοι ειναι ακριβοι χωρις full kit ειδα οτι δεν εχει καν φορτιστη και επαναφορτιζομενη μπαταρια οποτε εννοιτε πως επελεξα το full kit
αντικειμενικα ομως δεινεις 100ε για εναν φακο
επισης εψαξα να δω γιατι εχει ενα σπειρωμα απο την κατω μερια ( στο manual δεν βρηκα να λεει κατι) ειναι για να βιδωσεις ειτε φωτογραφικη ειτε χειρολαβη κ.α. καλο extra
σε γενικες γραμμες το προτεινω ως μια καλη αγορα υποβρυχιου φακου το μονο που μενει ειναι να δουμε συμπεριφορα σε βαθος χρονου
