L12 SEEKER
™
12-WATT LED Dive Light
Tektite continues to demonstrate its leadership in the development of LED dive lights with their
new 12-Watt L12 Seeker, the most powerful LED dive light in the world.
The L12 Seeker utilizes three Luxeon III Star LEDs each operating at 4 Watts to produce more
than 240 Lumens of blistering white light that is equivalent to a 10-Watt HID / 30-Watt Halogen dive light.
A special tri-lens optic produces a smooth, 12º spot beam that pierces through murky water with minimal
backscatter. The L12 Seeker’s smooth hot spot is surrounded by a large corona of light that gives divers
excellent peripheral visibility.
Divers will appreciate the benefits of the solar-quality (5,500K) white light produced by the L12
Seeker. This high-quality light drastically improves the visualization of color and contrast that is lost at
depth, making the L12 Seeker an excellent choice of underwater videography and photography.
Another benefit of the L12 Seeker compared to HID and Halogen dive lights is its extreme
ruggedness. The L12 Seeker is no fragile light; it’s double O-ring sealed throughout, and is made from
aircraft-grade Aluminum and high-impact grades of PVC and LEXAN
®
. In addition, its LEDs are virtually
indestructible and last 50,000 hours, so you’ll never have to worry about a bulb breaking or burning out
again. This built-in safety feature makes the L12 Seeker a perfect match for the demanding needs of
cave, wreck, technical and professional divers.
The L12 Seeker is powered by an advanced submersible battery system that delivers 4+ hours of
burn time. Its NiMH battery pack is smaller, lighter and more powerful than other battery systems, and it
has no cell memory, built-in thermal/high current protection, twice the charge cycle life and burn time of
NiCad batteries, and the ability to withstand high charge/discharge currents. The battery canister is made
of highly durable PVC and comes with captive double O-ring "screw on" lids, a heavy-duty switch and
right angle strain relief. A Smart Trickle Charger (STC) is included with the L12 Seeker. The STC comes
with a universal power supply that accommodates an input voltage of 100 to 260 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz.
Divers will be able to configure the L12 Seeker to suit their preferences. The battery pack can be
belt, tank or BC mounted, while a quick-release pistol grip handle is standard equipment. With optional
equipment, the L12 Seeker can be mounted onto most video and camera housings (a diffuser lens is also
available). Divers can also request a permanent wide-angle tri-lens optic (30º or 40º) that makes the L12
Seeker a super-wide floodlight.
Specifications:
The L12 Seeker has a utilizes a fixed 12º optic that produces a smooth beam of blistering white light,
without hot spots or rings.
