How we calculate scores →About this gear
The Hunt 1600 is designed for spearfishing, with a curved grip and a focused 1600-lumen beam for looking into crevices. Its built-in 5000 mAh battery charges through a magnetic USB connection. Cressi’s buyer’s guide lists an 11° beam and a 100 m depth rating.
Consider before buying
The store description advertises up to four hours, while Cressi’s 2025 guide lists two; do not assume four hours at unchanged full brightness. The 290 m distance claim is measured in air, not underwater. Pesca Sub e Apnea describes useful handling and sustained use but gives no numeric overall score.
Our take
Choose Hunt for its spearfishing-oriented shape and controls. Astra 2100 is the more conventional scuba-torch comparison, with higher listed output and selectable brightness. Confirm runtime and charging requirements for the supplied version before relying on the longer marketing figure. The field article adds context without resolving every specification conflict.

Renzo Mazzarri describes focused illumination and convenient handling during spearfishing use. The account discusses sustained operation but has no overall numeric grade; it does not resolve the conflicting manufacturer runtime claims.
