1. Introduction:
Motto: Backup - Backup
–
not to stay in the darkness if your primary dive light shuts down
Diver’s requirements for backup light
:
•
maximum reliability
–
no way that it does not work when needed. You reach for it just when you
absolutely need it. It's your "reserve parachute"
•
robustness / quality without compromise
•
enough running time - the way back can be extended
•
enough power and suitable light beam
•
resistance to the environment
–
technical dives take place in hard conditions
•
handling even at extreme depths
•
minimum loss of capacity when not in use. You don't want to find out that it's not running just because
you don't charge it regularly, because you rarely use it
•
can also be used as a classic
“small flashlight” for
sports dives

FINNSUB Backup uses a standard Li-ion 18650 battery. The original FINNSUB battery from a renowned
Japanese manufacturer has a capacity of 2.6 Ah and has undercharging / overcharging protection.
Important and unique feature:
Running time 2 hours in co
ld water 5 ° C. Af
ter this interval, the light switches itself to strobe mode, flashing in a
pleasant cycle: 70% light and 30% dark. This will make it easy to continue the dive with minimal light reduction.
Flashing in strobe mode takes several days (8-10 days, depending on battery level and water temperature) and
can be used for instance in a cave to mark the equipment (tanks) to return for them later.
