Yesterday I visited the Apeks Marine factory in Blackburn, UK and met with Peter Greenwell the sales manager for a tour to see how Apeks regulators are made – wow! what a factory! I am sure most divers do not realise just how much goes into that piece of live sustaining equipment – thanks Peter. We shall be sharing some photos of the tour on our website soon.
The Drylite from Tryton Exploration Gear is a completely sealed torch unit so no risk of flooding!
Nicely presented in a plastic carry case it comes complete with mains or car charger adapters to power the wireless induction base station.
The 135 Lumens 3W LED cuts through the water with an 8 degree 5000K beam.
Rated to 250 feet / 76 Metres the torch runs for 5 hours on one 10 – 12 hour charge off the lithium ion battery. Charging can be performed from mains between 120 – 240 volts AC
The construction is nylon / aluminium and permanently sealed.
Each unit is supplied with an inspection ticket showing tests for leaks, drop/shock, AC adapter charge test, DC adapter charge test and switch operation test.
