Tekna seems to be on a comeback after a ong absence. I had the predecessor to that light light, and it was great. It was good to 50-60 feet, for sure. They used to make some really inovative gear.

Quoting from Inova's own product description:

Ultrasonically-sealed polymer construction and recessed lamp design qualify the shockproof, water resistant 24/7 for extreme environments. (Emphasis mine)

Water resistant usually means it'll take a "splash", but not necessarily even partial submersion. I remember reading this somewhere, but don't have a reference handy... That's why I always try to get stuff specified as water proof, preferably with a depth rating, the deeper the bettter.

well water resistant is definiately not water proof. there goes that myth which is strange since the one I used for work seems to take frequent dunking and works like a charm...

Yes, you can bet on it .... it is NOT....

Not treason. I carry one in my daily bag, and one in my car, both with high intensity bulbs. Good loaer/trade/scrounger light.

The reason I don't carry one on my belt anymore is I'm sick of blowing bulbs just by banging something too hard with my hip- they are NOT shockproof.

I am a huge fan of Princeton Tec lights. The Attitude (LED) and Blast (Halogen) are two good handheld that are submersible and cheap. Just my 2 pesos.

Put an LED conversion in it. Entirely shockproof. Infinite bulb life, long battery life -- 7 hours. Go to www.terralux.com.

Randjack, did you get that link right?

I've looked at MiniMag conversions. I suppose part of why I haven't gone with them is I'm lazy. To be accurate, I deal with computers and electronics all day. That last thing I want to do at the end of the day is write code or dig out the soldiering iron. :P A lot of the conversions that I found last time I looked (it was a while ago) weren't drop in modules, but take apart the switch and play with it until it works modules.

Just get an Opelec module. Those are drop in, as long as you've got a fairly recent (<5 years?) model maglite.

I foud this push butten + LED . I e-mailed zbattery and asked if the kit retained the waterproofing. I think the water proofing will be fine.
