IST’s T101 dive torch is a powerhouse when it comes to pumping out illumination. Its three LEDs produce an intense 12-inch-diameter hotspot that measured 11.0 EV on ScubaLab’s light meter. This is the brightest hotspot ScubaLab has ever tested, and it’s also one of the cleanest, free from even a hint of mottling. Even better, the hotspot is surrounded by a diffused halo that extends to almost four feet in diameter, substantially increasing the light’s coverage. Measuring six inches long by two and a half inches in diameter, the T101 has a rugged look. The casing is made of a durable black aluminum alloy with self-seating aluminum threads and a double o-ring seal good to 328 feet. It uses a lantern handle and the on/off switch has a thumb-lock to prevent accidental activation. The battery pack delivers four and a half hours of burn time. To charge, simply unscrew the housing and plug the charging cord into the internal port. The torch comes with a changeable photographic lens and a nice wrist lanyard. The bottom line: The T101 generates a super-bright light beam well-suited for night diving, cave exploration or photography.
