of the SLX also offer manual activation or permanent deactivation. The SLX consists of a
battery and light encased in either one plastic housing (SLX), or a battery assembly and a
separate light assembly, connected by an electrical wire (SLX-II). See table 1 for options.

The battery consists of one Lithium Manganese Dioxide cell incorporated into a water-tight
sealed housing. The housing has two exposed water sensor contacts. The electronic circuit
detects water and activates the light. The design prevents inadvertent extinguishing of the
light if the water sensor is not continuously immersed in water. The housing also has a button
for the manual switching of the light.
The light is a LED covered by a polycarbonate cover.
