LED FLASHLIGHT
FLASH
Compliments for having purchased the LED
flashlight "FLASH" from Sporasub. This flashlight is
the result of technological advances made over
years of experience in the underwater fishing
sector. Its versatility and functionality, combined
with the highest quality materials and the
technological design, make this flashlight truly one-
of-a-kind, and essential for skindiving and
underwater fishing.
The simple shape and small size make it easy to
carry and it can be hooked to any part of your
equipment, thus limiting any encumbrances. The
FLASH flashlight was designed for skindiving;
however it can be easily adapted to scuba diving.
The concentrated light beam is created by an
aluminium covered plastic dish that is designed
with a 10° angle and an additional front lens in
polycarbonate. This system provides a beam with a
maximum intensity of 200mm in diameter at a
distance of 1 metre between the flashlight and the
wall to be lighted, with a remaining ring of lower
intensity with 1.5 metres in diameter. Thus the light
beam is able to penetrate underwater rock caves
or cavities with ease.
IMPORTANT WARNINGS
WARNING: Before using the FLASH flashlight,
carefully read this manual.
WARNING: Do not aim the flashlight directly
into your own eyes or those of other people,
either out of water or underwater.
WARNING: Make sure to block the switch when
transporting the flashlight, in order to avoid
turning it on by accident.
WARNING: Make sure to remove the batteries
during plane flights.
WARNING: When changing the batteries,
remember to check the + and – signs.
WARNING: Use only high quality batteries, e.g.
Energizer AA Lithium.
WARNING: When leaving the flashlight unused
for long periods, be sure to remove the
batteries.
WARNING: When leaving the flashlight unused
for long periods, slightly unscrew the front
metal ring in order to avoid blockage.
