Features
The dive light features a watertight, sealed delrin lid that is an industry first. The lid is designed to isolate the battery compartment from the light head and cord. In order to ease the stowing of the long hose, the solid delrin canisters are longer. The battery pack has additional protection from the raised battery tray and water trap in the bottom of canister. Lid and battery connect with solid-core, corrosion-resistant plugs that are gold-plated. In order to ensure a leak-proof lid, the plugs are O-ring sealed. The webbing is secured to the canister by two stainless steel jubilee clips. The on/off switch is located on the canister’s top. For additional protection, the secure battery tray is designed with stainless steel rods. The dual-voltage 4-amp charger features NiMH batteries and a built-in cooling fan. The light is delivered by a 21 watt HID bulb. The light head is fitted with an ergonomic Goodman handle. The dive light is depth rated to 300 feet / 90 meters. The device comes with a lifetime canister warranty.
