DESCRIPTION

Whats in the box:Light, Batteries, Pistol Grip, Wrist Lanyard, Lens Boot, Pelican 1200 Hard Case w/ Pick 'N Pluck Foam and Owner's Manual

UK's C8 eLED waterproof light is the world's most popular primary light. Many divers would not consider going underwater without the power of its bright, long-lasting beam. It starts with a unique dual power electronic circuit to control the matched pair of 6-watt white LED's. Its water-cooled heat sink actually increases brightness underwater and improves burn time. Polarized battery contact plates make it possible to interchange individual battery cells and rechargeable packs as well as prevent potentially dangerous reverse battery insertion. The rubber lens guard, non-breakable locking switch and interchangeable handles are examples of diver hardened construction throughout. Light comes equipped with Pistol Grip Handle, and to protect your light when not in use, a Pelican 1200 Hard Case w/Pick and Pluck Foam.

The Pelican Case is unbreakable, watertight, airtight, dust-proof, chemical resistant and corrosion proof. These are some of the features of this Pelican Protector Case that offers total; protection for your equipment. It is made of Ultra High Impact structural copolymer that makes it extremely strong and durable. Its exclusive 1/4" (6.4 mm) neoprene o-ring and ABS latches seal perfectly and includes an automatic purge valve for quick equalization after changes in atmospheric pressure. Your equipment can fit into the high density foam of the case for total subjection and protection against impact, vibration or shock.

Unlike the stan dard glass envelope lamps used since Edison, the LED will not break when dropped. The life expectancy is well over 5000 hours. The light emitted by the LED (light emitting diode) is similar to sunlight and travels farther underwater than the more yellow light from an Edison lamp. In addition a power control circuit is built into the light to help maintain the same brightness throughout the discharge of a set of batteries. A tough O-ring sealed ABS and polycarbonate case protects the components all the way down to 500' (152.4 meters). The C8 eLED is powered by 8 Disposable C"-Cell Alkaline Batteries (included), or if you wish to upgrade it with a rechargeable kit the SKU: UKTRKC8E is available eliminating the need for replacement power cells. With Alkaline Batteries the light has a Burn Time of 13.9 Hours on the high power setting and 19.7 hours on low. The C8 eLED Dive Lights Dual 6-Watt LED's produces 400 Lumens of Brightness on high power and 270 Lumens on low. The light measures 7.2" x 7.1" x 3.2" (18.29 x 18.03 x 8.13 cm) and weighs 36 oz (1.02 kg). The C8 eLED Light is equipped with a Non-Breakable Locking Switch that Prevents Accidental Actuation when in your gear bag and also has a Protective Heavy Rubber Lens Boot for Drop Protection. Light Handle is a Pistol Grip Design and comes with an Adjustable Rubber Sleeved Wrist Lanyard. Light is available in Black or Yellow and comes with an Owner's Manual.

I dive with this light day and night. For anything under about 8 metres it really brings out the colours and details so I can really see what I'm down there to see. For crevices, underhangs, and caves its great - I spot things I wouldn't normally see. I sometimes use it as an auxillary light for my buddy's photography.

For night diving, well, it's fantastic. While my buddies are straining to see something with their dim 15cm spot of light, the beam on this thing swings over like an SUV just drove past and they think "Oh, that's better". It has low output mode if you don't want so much light.

There's a bit of weight, but that's all due to carrying 8 batteries; the unit itself is lightweight. It's tough; I do shore diving in Sydney so getting bashed by waves is common. I just clip it to my BCD and it's fine. Clip and extension coil are solid. I've dropped it when washing my gear - no problem.

The other thing is that I've done about 35 to 40 hours of diving with it and I haven't had to replace the batteries yet.

Only small glitch is that the switch is 'buggy'. On mine it's possible to lock the mechanism to the 'off' position but it is still on (in low output mode). It's no problem since battery life is so good. i just put my hand in front to check it if its daytime then wiggle the switch and it turns off.

Because it's LED you can use it above water too. I use it to spot wildlife and to find and catch the fish in my fishpond when I'm cleaning it.

Of all my dive gear, this is one of the items I'm most happy I bought.

The switch stopped working after only a couple months so the light would not turn on. After a week of correspondence with customer support they acknowledged there was a known issue with the switch so they paid for return shipping and sent me a replacement. The same thing happened with the replacement. I paid to ship it back and they credited my account which I used to buy a different light.

      Comments about Underwater Kinetics Sunlight "C8 eLED" Dive Light with Pistol Grip:

      switch failed during a wreck dive, had to use my backup, and end the dive. This is a stupid problem, bad switch on an otherwise fantastic dive light. This is a common problem, and its only a matter of when not if this switch will fail. UK should recall this light.

        Comments about Underwater Kinetics Sunlight "C8 eLED" Dive Light with Pistol Grip:

        The light itself is excellent, i loved it until the switch started to fail. First it became flaky (turning off during the dive) eventually it would turn on only occasionally. I took it apart, it appears the problem is with the plastic slider that actuates the switch, not the switch itself - the actuator simply has too much play - incredibly cheap setup. I'm trying to jury rig it.
