I have an emisar d2 and dt8 and both are ip 67 but so far any time i tried to use them in wet conditions water got into the body. The strange thing is they didnt actually break they just acted strange for a while and then after drying for a night everything seemed okay. Except my trust in emisar. They are both amazing lights but im always extremely carefull now when using them. Kinda dissapointed. Wanted to do a nld post about my dt8 but this how it ended up. Extra details: they both fogged up, the d2 didnt really turn off correctly. The dt8 worked perfectly for hours after submersion in water but when i changed the battery i noticed the head was audably and visibly bubbling water when i screwed on the cap.

Fwiw, I dropped my D4V2 in about 8" of clean water for 45 minutes or so during work and there were no ill effects
This is valuable info for the community. Thanks for sharing.
This is discouraging re: Hanklights. :-(
Meanwhile, my much much cheaper TS10 was actually able to resist immersion for many minutes with absolutely no water ingress nor any ill effects: https://old.reddit.com/r/flashlight/comments/10vm19z/my_wurkkos_ts10_is_now_with_the_fish/
