Come in and see the New UK Light - AquaSun eLED® Rechargeable

Brightness: 825 lumens. Did you know that LEDs are most intense when kept cool? UK designed this light with two high intensity LEDs that are attached to a heat sink which is in direct contact with the water through the front lens. This clever patented system keeps the LEDs cool. A unique reflector combines the beams of the 2 LEDs into a single beam which is almost twice as bright underwater. The white color of the LED light penetrates water better than light from conventional incandescent lamps, allowing greater visibility.

Power usage: The AquaSun has an electronic circuit that monitors the LEDs and prevents overheating when used out of water. You can select full power or battery saving mode. Even though the LEDs are extremely efficient in power usage, they exceed the capacity of disposable alkaline batteries and must be powered by a rechargeable battery pack. The NiCad rechargeable battey provides 2 hours of light at full power on a single charge.

Along with all these great features it also has interchangable lantern and pistol grips. Come by the store and check it out. Bo

Please consider Call2Recycle.org to recycle the rechargeable battery at end of useful life when it can no longer hold a proper charge (about 1,000 charges, around 2-5 yrs. depending on frequency of use, proper handling). It's free.

That is a great point. We are seeing more and more rechargeable batteries in dive gear. Thanks for posting the info! Greg
