This family of torches endeavours to combine high performance battery life, reliability
and excellent light quality at a reasonable cost.
The heart of the torch is its next generation electronic circuitry, designed with very
low consumption miniature electronics and a new sealed magnetic switch which
operates an internal reed-switch.
This prevents the power absorption typical of mechanical switches; ensuring absence
of wear in time, increased battery burn time and a brighter whiter light. In addition,
as the switch is not the feedthrough type, possible water leakage is prevented,
considerably decreasing the likelihood of flooding.
Added features of the electronics are that when the voltage at the battery pack
terminals drop below a specified level, the light automatically switches to a blinking
mode, enabling the diver to abort the dive with the remaining available light. This
feature also prevents polarity inversion of one or more elements of the battery pack
and consequent gas formation.
To increase the simplicity of use and reliability, the electronic system automatically
turns off the light in case of recharging jack insertion, preventing any damage to the
charger and batteries.
An overpressure valve calibrated to 1 bar is also provided to prevent possible burst
of the bulb in case of accidental formation of gas. The main body is in anticorodal
anodised aluminium while the parabolas used are in aluminium with a new satin
finish providing a light beam with the following characteristics: strongly focused in
the center but with a large beam width.
The Xenophot bulb used works at a temperature of 3200
°
K ensuring a very white
light beam.
The portlight is in 6mm tempered glass to prevent any possible light distortion.

Three-position (lock, off, and on) rotating magnetic-type switch. As it is not the
feedthrough type, possible water leakage is prevented; it has very low dispersion
as compared with mechanical switches and maximizes burn time and actual
voltage to bulb.
