Any light that is properly sealed with o-rings and gaskets should have no problem surviving less than 1 ATM (33 feet). I have tested the majority of my lights by at least placing them in the shower and plenty of them (4sevens included) are just fine for a little night-time snorkeling. Since a big part of my light usage can be under extremely wet and adverse conditions, all of my lights, especially headlamps, must at least survive the shower test!
My Princeton Tec 1L and League 100 have no problems at 130 feet, but let's be fair, those are dive lights. However, there is honestly nothing special here in terms of construction besides having o-rings at all points of potential water ingress.
I was all set to buy an H32 and H600 mkII but with these issues I am not sure I am comfortable making the investment. I will instead double down on Petzl and carry a Tikka to back up my NAO.
