OrcaTorch — Dive Lights Born on a Flashlight Maker's First Dive

OrcaTorch began with a first dive. Founder Carson Weng, an outdoor enthusiast, has more than ten years of experience making high-end flashlights. When he went diving for the first time, in 2013, he saw divers using low-quality lights that lacked innovation and often failed at critical moments. He decided to put his flashlight background to work on something better, and in 2014 he founded OrcaTorch with a group of fellow flashlight enthusiasts and technology fans.

The company is named after the orca, which it describes as a fearless, free-roaming animal that overcomes challenges with team spirit and wisdom, and the best symbol of underwater adventure. Today OrcaTorch makes recreational and technical dive lights, underwater video lights, dive beacons, batteries, and mounting arms and accessories. Its stated focus is lights that are very bright and easy to operate, with long beam distance, long runtime, reliable waterproofing, and high impact resistance.

DiveCatalog.com carries OrcaTorch compact dive lights, zoom and laser lights, a tri-color video light, a dive beacon, rechargeable batteries, wrist straps, and a bolt snap, sourced through an authorized OrcaTorch distributor.

Compact Dive Lights

The Orca7 is a palm-sized light, 130 mm (5.1 in) long, that puts out up to 3000 lumens through a focused 6-degree spot with a wider 60-degree spill. We carry it in orange, blue, gray, and red, and the pack we stock includes two batteries. The D710 pairs a 6-degree beam with three steady levels up to 1700 lumens and a momentary 3000-lumen Turbo, and we carry it in black, blue, and red. The D530 we carry is the neutral white 5000K version, with up to 1300 lumens and an 8-degree beam. OrcaTorch bills the Orca7 as an everyday primary light or a backup for technical diving, and calls the D530 a primary light.

Zoom and Laser Lights

The ZD710 MK2 adjusts steplessly from a 4-degree spot to a 72-degree flood, with up to 1500 lumens and a beam distance of 920 m (about 3,000 ft) on land at its narrowest setting. The D570-GL combines a 1500-lumen white light with a green laser under 5 mW that can point out marine life to a buddy or signal over distance, and the two can be used separately or together. The ZD710 MK2 and D570-GL packs we stock each include two batteries.

Video Light

The D710V MK2 has three light sources in one light: a 2300-lumen white LED with a 120-degree beam for photo and video, a red light that OrcaTorch says minimizes disturbance to marine life on night dives, and three UV LEDs for fluorescence diving. A ZJ18 ball joint bracket is included for attaching the light to diving arms.

Dive Beacon

The SD01 PRO is a small signal beacon with constant and flashing modes. It runs about 37 hours constant or 70 hours flashing on one AAA battery, and the battery and a lanyard are included.

Batteries and Accessories

The rechargeable lights we carry run on OrcaTorch lithium-ion batteries with a USB-C charging port built into the battery, so they charge from any USB-C power source, such as a laptop or power bank, without a separate charger. We stock the 21700 5000 mAh battery for the Orca7, D710, ZD710 MK2, and D710V MK2, and the 18650 3400 mAh battery for the D530 and D570-GL. Also available are the SH01 swivel bolt snap in 316 stainless steel and two hands-free wrist straps: the WS01 for lights with a 24–28 mm body, such as the Orca7, D530, and D710, and the WS02 for the ZD710 MK2.
