Featuring 1200 or 1600 lumens, the compact dive lights offer users tremendous brightness and a focused narrow long-range beam. All light functions are easily accessible with one handed operation to cycle through five light modes.
The light’s outstanding features include a new Luminus SFT-40 LED and ultra tight beam angles of 8° (1200) and 6° (1600), 6° and 4.5° respectively underwater making the powerful lights capable of reaching long distances with minimal diffusion.
The five light modes are: full power, half power, quarter power, one-second flash signal and emergency SOS signal, both at full power. The lights serve as a primary dive light or as a back-up light due to its combination of small, compact size, long run time and impressive power output.
The Mini 1200 & 1600 lights are constructed of an anodized aluminum machined body for maximum durability and corrosion resistance. The lights bold new design features grip-able surface around the function-button area.
A dual O-ring design ensures reliable waterproof seal down to depths of 330ft/100m. The light’s power and mode button also feature a battery charge level indicator, which illuminates from green, to amber, to red when batteries charge is depleted.
The Sea Dragon 1200 runs for 4.4 hours with a 18650 rechargeable Li-ion 2600mAh battery at quarter power, 2.2 hours at the half power setting, and 1.1 hours at full power, and the Sea Dragon 1600 runs for 4 hours with a 18650 rechargeable Li-ion 3500mAh battery at quarter power, 2 hours at the half power setting, and 1 hour at full power.
With an optional 4000mAh 18650 rechargeable Li-ion battery, run times can be extended substantially. The design features an 18650 battery which is more compact than larger rechargeable dive light Li-ion batteries. The compact grip features an integrated safety pressure release valve that relieves internal pressure built-up in the event of a battery malfunction.
The lights are sold without batteries (Items SL657 & SL658). The Sea Dragon Mini lights are available with a rechargeable 2600mAh Li 18650 battery and USB charger (Sea Dragon 1200 - Item SLKIT12), and a rechargeable 3500mAh Li 18650 battery and USB charger (Sea Dragon 1600 - Item SLKIT13).
To conserve power; the Mini lights, when enabled - also offer a “instant on” feature that turns the light on and off with just a quick touch.
The compact Sea Dragon Mini 1200 & 1600 Dive Lights will easily slip into your BCD pocket. A wrist lanyard with a BCD-clip is also included allowing divers to secure the light to their wrist or clipped on to their BCD D-ring.
Both Sea Dragon Mini Dive Lights offer an optional YS Light mount (SL98104) for mounting to a camera cold shoe, or to grips & arms.
Both Sea Dragon Mini Lights include two spare O-rings and O-ring lube.
