NEBO IP67 Waterproof Rechargeable Flashlight
Our IP67 flashlight delivers 1200 lumens of focused output in a fully submersible aluminum body rated for one meter underwater immersion. We engineered this light for trail runners, marine crews, and anyone who works outdoors in unpredictable weather.
The IP67 rating on this flashlight comes from independent lab testing against IEC standard 60529, which measures solid particle ingress and water immersion resistance. The first digit — 6 — certifies complete dust protection with zero particle entry after eight hours of exposure to talcum powder under negative pressure. The second digit — 7 — confirms the light survived thirty minutes submerged one meter deep in freshwater with no leakage into the battery compartment or electronics cavity.
Battery capacity and charging system
Our 3200 milliamp-hour lithium-ion cell sits inside a sealed carrier tube accessed through the tail cap. The magnetic charging cable attaches to the tail switch housing — no fumbling with rubber port covers in the dark. A red LED indicator on the cable head glows during charging and turns green when the cell reaches full capacity, typically ninety minutes from empty.
The onboard protection circuit prevents overcharge and deep discharge damage. If you store the light for more than three months, we recommend topping off the battery to sixty percent capacity to preserve cycle life. Temperature extremes affect runtime — expect twenty percent shorter burn time in sub-freezing conditions and store the light between ten and thirty degrees Celsius when not in use. Replacement cells ship with the same protection circuit and magnetic charging contacts as the original.
Beam pattern and optical performance
We pair a Cree XHP50.2 LED with a textured aluminum reflector to produce a hybrid beam — a tight central hotspot for distance spotting surrounded by a sixty-degree corona for peripheral awareness. Maximum throw reaches 180 meters in high mode, measured as the distance where illumination drops to 0.25 lux. The anti-reflective coated lens reduces glare when you’re working under overhead lights or reading maps in camp.
Mode programming and tail switch operation
The dual-button tail switch handles all mode changes. A half-press cycles through high, medium, low, and strobe without activating the light. Full-press from off jumps straight to the last-used brightness level. Hold both buttons for two seconds to lock out accidental activation when the light rides loose in a pack. The strobe function runs at twelve flashes per second — useful for roadside signaling but too fast for disorienting an aggressor at close range.

Common questions about the NEBO IP67 flashlight
The IP67 rating certifies freshwater immersion to one meter for thirty minutes. Saltwater is more corrosive, so while the seals will keep water out during brief submersion, we recommend rinsing the exterior with freshwater after saltwater exposure and checking that the O-rings and threads stay clean. Do not leave the light submerged in saltwater for extended periods.
Runtime depends on brightness mode. High mode delivers six hours of continuous use at 1200 lumens. Medium mode extends runtime to twelve hours at 600 lumens. Low mode runs for twenty-four hours at 150 lumens. The strobe function operates for eight hours. Actual runtime may be shorter in freezing temperatures or if the battery has degraded after many charge cycles.
The first digit — 6 — certifies complete dust protection. The light passes an eight-hour exposure test in a chamber filled with talcum powder under negative air pressure, with zero particle ingress into the sealed housing. This means you can use the flashlight in sandstorms, dusty job sites, or muddy trails without worrying about debris entering the battery compartment or electronics.
Yes. The battery sits inside a carrier tube accessed by unscrewing the tail cap. Replacement cells come with the same protection circuit and magnetic charging contacts. We recommend replacing the tail cap O-ring at the same time to maintain the waterproof seal. Battery life typically ranges from 300 to 500 charge cycles before capacity drops noticeably.
The charging contacts are recessed into the tail switch housing and surrounded by a ridge that keeps most debris away. Light dirt or dust won’t prevent charging, but if mud or sand builds up around the contacts, wipe them clean with a damp cloth before attaching the cable. The magnets are strong enough to hold through a thin layer of residue, but clean contacts ensure faster charging and better connection.
We drop-test every production batch from two meters onto concrete. The aluminum body and internal shock mounts protect the LED and driver board from impact damage. The Type III anodizing resists scratches and the tempered glass lens rarely cracks unless subjected to extreme focused impact like being run over by a vehicle. Normal drops during outdoor use or job site work should not damage the light.
Hold both tail switch buttons simultaneously for two seconds. The light will flash once to confirm lockout is engaged. In lockout mode, pressing either button will not turn the light on, preventing battery drain when the flashlight is loose in a pack or toolbox. To exit lockout, hold both buttons again for two seconds until the light flashes twice.
