While designing the GatLight, the discussion came up what would happen if an exposed optic is dunked under water. Most people including myself thought that the DIRECT CONTACT of the optic with the water would destroy the optical characteristics.
Since the GatLight is the only light that is based on a principle with an exposed optic while being fully waterproof, I thought it would be interesting to share the answer to this question with you all.
Here is the Video-Link
It is interesting to see how little having the optics under water changes the beam pattern. In reality it seems that under water the optics seems to focus even tighter (the dye part)...
I and others assumed that the water ruins the beam pattern, which doesnt seem to be the case.
