Glo-Toob AAA High Intensity Waterproof Light Source - Red, 2.95 x 0.75-Inch

I have no issues with casual "soft" use for this gadget.But these are very expensive for what they are.For me it's not as robust as some of the reviewers make out.I had a first generation Glo Toob several years ago and it failed after using it for Scuba Diving after taking it 35 meters down in the sea.I made sure it was fully sealed before submerging into the water but the chamber ended up with moisture inside which made the device eventually fail. 60 meters the OEM says this is fit for - don't make me laugh (also check their warranty that liquid ingress voids the warranty).So why have I purchased the latest?Well I need something in addition to a torch that's compact and light when walking our dogs at night where there's no street lamps.No doubt for casual use like getting splashed with rain I'm sure this new Glo Toob will be fine.The change in design where these now take a AAA battery is a welcome one as these batteries are easy to buy and cheap.However (and I am a real OCD individual when it comes to detail) but I notice the bottom removable cap when screwed in tight is't a perfect circular fit. Running my finger around the edge of the cap where it meets the main cylinder body on one side the cap protrudes just slightly.It's because of this and only one rubber seal on the Glo Toob why I would not trust this for functioning in anything other than a shower and not submerged in water. Water does not need any help to penetrate into what should be sealed electronics and the slightest of imperfections will see moisture or water enter them.Also turning the cap backwards and forwards to cycle the light functions can be a bit hit and miss and doesn't always work as it should.Again - whoever thought opening up a seal and closing it again on what should be a dry sealed chamber is not thinking clearly regarding design (similar On / Off functionality on the first gen Glo Toob I had).It's bright enough for you to be seen by others in the dark from a sensible distance, and can be used as a temporary reading lantern if this is your only light source.The device feels well made but I'm not sure how shock proof it really is, as a rule of thumb electronics don't get on with being dropped - certainly not many times, so the robust feel of the device might make you become a little careless for the care of something that isn't as perfect as it should be.Just to give you an idea of how confident the manufacture is on this device being water proof - Glo Toob's USA website states If the device becomes flooded of water it voids the warranty. What???!!!
