Just bought one of these Fantasea LED focus lights to replace the flawed Nano Fix (every one of these I know of has flooded)
Anyway the 360 has 36 LEDs and an On/Off switch so hopefully will have a longer life.
It's much bigger and brighter but still has the "Auto Off during flash" function as well as a handy continuous flash mode in case you ever get lost at sea!
I tried the focus light under the deep ledges at Cottage Reef and it worked very well allowing me to focus quickly on a seadragon in the darkness. It would be an excellent night dive torch also.
Purchased from Underwater.com.au in Byron Bay for A$84.95 + $5.50 shipping.
Additional: Price has just jumped to US$81 from Fantasea or $140 from Underwater.com.au!
Update
This light has now died (lasted 12 months). No obvious flooding but rust appearing around 2 of the LEDs. Buddy Rich's died a few months ago and the light is no longer being sold.
I'm back to using a Princeton REC 1 LED torch.
Is that a DIY attachment arm or did you purchase it somewhere?
ReplyDeleteYes made it myself.
ReplyDeleteAluminium from a hardware store and the red is nylon from an old chopping board
Thanks. I think I am going to try the same thing!

ReplyDeleteHmmm... This is cool. Nowadays using LED light are being popular maybe because it is safe to use and decrease the usage of electricity.
