Salvo 12W LED + handheld battery pack review

[Leg Of Salmon]

This is the new 12W LED from Salvo, also the handheld battery pack.
These are just a few photos to show the size.

Initial thoughts are that it has a really solid feel to it. It is very compact on the hand with the supplied goodman handle. The umbillical pack is sealed so I can't see any of the internals. It charges by detaching the LED unit and inserting what looks like a 3.5mm stereo plug. I can put a photo up of this if anyone wants.

There is a 2.5hr burn time with the handheld and 5 hours with the umbillical.

It is very bright through air. The light is very white, with a large spread with a very bright spot in the centre. It is as bright with the handheld battery as it is with the umbillical.

I have dived with this now and it is bright like a frickin laser beam! Very bright, good for signalling but also just using as a torch. It penetrates well. I didnt really notice it sitting on top of my hand.

Available from Scuba Diving equipment at divingniknaks and Dublin Bay Diving

Cheers

You shouldn't have spoken to that man nackers, he's dangerous I tell you!

There was nothing wrong with your candle and upturned jar.

Hello Chris,
maybe you can make a photo of the connection between head and battery and if possible of a look in the frontside, to see the reflector.

thanks
