ScubaLab Best Buy: Ikelite Gamma


IKELITE GAMMA

While other compacts had brighter, tighter hot spots, the Gamma has a wider central beam and a broad outer halo that doesn’t drop off much nearly out to its limits. A featherweight, the Gamma tipped our scales — loaded with two CR123 batteries — at about 5 ounces, and it’s only .75 inches in diameter at its narrowest. Though there’s not much texture on the grip, its wasp-waisted design makes it easy to hang onto. The 400-foot-depth rating, aluminum body and precise tail switch all suggest it might carry a pricier bottom line, making the Gamma our Best Buy.

MSRP: $120
