Remember the DeepLumin X36 that launched on Both kickstarter and indiegogo with bold promises: 43,000 lumens of brightness, 1,600 meter beam throw and 200-meter waterproofing. Marketed as both an outdoor powerhouse and a dividing companion, this flashlight claimed to outshine your car’s headlights and maybe even double as a sci-di laser cannon. But now that units have shipped, the real test is here: Did DeepLumin X36 actually deliver or was it just flashy crowdfunding hype? let’s find out in the review.
Overview of the Project
The DeepLumin X36 crowdfunding campaign raised $ 56, 967 pledged of $1,000 funding goal from 348 backers on kickstarter. Also on indiegogo $59,147 USD was raised from 359 backers, later on $55,635 USD was raised from 340 backers. The campaign numbers were impressive across the two platforms. DeepLumin X36 caught fire by promising a laser-like flashlight that combined:
- Extreme brightness with 43,000 lumens output
- Long-range beam throw of over 1,600 meters
- Diving capability, waterproof to 200 meters.
- Rugged durability and USB-C rechargeable battery power.
It positioned itself as a professional-grade light for divers, outdoor adventures, rescue teams and gear junkies tired of weak, short-lived torches.
A Tactical Flashlight or Overhyped Glow Stick?
On paper, the DeepLumin X36 seemed almost too good to be true. The question is whether it’s real-world performance matches the extreme specs that pulled in crowdfunding backers.
Brightness & Modes: Blinding Power or Practical Tool?
The flashlight shipped with multiple modes:
- High mode: Blindingly intense, suitable only outdoors.
- medium & low: Practical levels for camping, hiking and general use.
- Strobe & SOS: exactly what you’d expect for emergencies, bright and impossible to miss.
Unlike standard EDC flashlights, the X36 isn’t designed for cozy tent lighting, it’s a focused beam weapon meant for visibility at extreme distances.
Underwater Performance: Dive Light or Dead Weight?
For divers, this was a big selling point. It promised :
- No leaks, seals hold under pressure
- Switch is glove-friendly, easy to toggle underwater
- Smooth mode changes even while submerged
- Battery life : 2 – 3 hours on high, much longer on eco.
That’s a solid performance, making it a legitimate underwater flashlight rather than a gimmick.
Build & Battery: Bulky But Rugged
This is no pocket light. The DeepLumin X36 is heavy and substantial, designed for hear packs not jeans. Key features include:
- USB-C fast charging
- Surprisingly stable thermal performance, dosen’t overheat easily
- Long-lasting battery life
- Rugged build with solid grip and intuitive switch placement.
It’s clearly built with tactile and adventure users in mind, not casual keychain flashlight buyers.
Does It Truly Outshine the Competition?
Between the brightness, diving ability and rugged build, DeepLumin X36 may actually be one of the rare crowdfunding gadgets that live up to their promises. But is it worth the size and price tag compared to traditional pro dive or tactical flashlights?
