The OrcaTorch D920 is a cordless, handheld OrcaTorch dive light designed as a compact primary for technical divers. With a tight 9° spot beam, 5000-lumen maximum output, and a runtime of up to 35 hours on its lowest setting, it balances power with reliability. A magnetic tail switch ensures easy, sealed operation, while a 74Wh rechargeable pack delivers consistent performance across dive missions.
Compared to other models in the OrcaTorch range, the D920 offers a more streamlined, cordless alternative to larger canister-style lights, while providing higher output than the D530V and more runtime than the D710. For imaging applications, divers often pair a focused primary like the D920 with an orcatorch video light to achieve even flood illumination for photo and video work.
- What it is: a handheld, cordless primary dive light outputting up to 5000 lumens in a narrow ~9° beam.
- Best for: technical and deep recreational divers needing focused illumination (e.g., wrecks, caves, low-visibility). Not ideal for wide-angle ambient lighting or compact backup light use.
- Key compatibility: built-in rechargeable 74 Wh lithium-ion battery pack, magnetic tail charging, tail‐switch control.
- Important limitation: depth rating up to 150 m (see specs); beam is very narrow (~9°), so it’s less suited for wide field illumination. Also relies on proprietary battery/charging system—no external canister option listed.

Does the OrcaTorch D920 really put out 5000 lumens and a 9° spot?
Yes. The D920 is rated at 5000 lumens with a tight ~9° spot and a rated 424 m throw (on land).
How long does the battery last and how fast does it charge?
Approximate runtimes: ~1 h 30 m (Turbo), 4 h 25 m (High), 10 h 20 m (Mid), up to ~35 h (Low). The 74 Wh pack charges via the magnetic tail port in about 2 h 30 m.
What’s included in the box?
D920 light, magnetic charge cable and charger, H620 Goodman handle, handheld grip, lanyard, and three spare O-rings.
Can I mount the D920 on a camera tray or arm?
The D920 is a primary dive light for handheld use or the included Goodman handle; it does not include a ball mount. Some divers add aftermarket adapters, but fit varies—please verify this with Bluewater Photo before purchase. For video/photo lighting, use wide-beam video lights and keep the D920 as your signaling/primary torch.
How deep is it rated, and how durable is the build?
It’s depth-rated to 150 m with 1.5 m impact resistance. The body is hard-anodized A6061-T6 aluminum and is corrosion-resistant.
How do I change modes and prevent accidental turn-on?
Use the magnetic tail switch to cycle Turbo/High/Mid/Low; mode memory resumes the last setting. Long-press ~5 seconds to lock or unlock, and the light auto-drops to ~350 lumens when the battery is low.
How should I maintain the D920 after diving?
Rinse in fresh water, work the switch during the rinse, dry fully, and keep the magnetic contacts clean. Inspect and lightly grease O-rings as needed and store the battery partially charged if unused for long periods. Please verify any brand-specific maintenance steps with Bluewater Photo before purchase.
