For over a 30 years, UK has been designing and manu- facturing scuba lights to enhance the diving experi- ence. We believe that it is important to take at least one light on every dive just to see the incredible beauty that lies hidden in the shadows under coral and rocks. Our lights are the standard for scuba divers around the world. We have designed all of our lights to be incredibly bright, rugged, compact, and waterproof to at least 500 feet. You can be assured that each light includes the latest technology and is the bright- est, smallest and most pow- erful in its class. With mini- mal care your Underwater Kinetics light will give you years of trouble-free service.

Battery Installation

To install batteries, hold the case in the position shown. Drop the batteries one by one into the case in the order shown. Make sure that the

(+)end of the battery is down for 1 and 2 and up for batter- ies 3 and 4. Next insert the lamp module into the case. Place the bezel over the lamp module and screw it onto the case.

eLED Lamp Module

The eLED module is an inte- grated unit. There are no replaceable parts . In addi- tion to the LED itself, the module contains an electron- ic circuit which helps to maintain constant brightness as the batteries are dis- charged. Flashlights with standard filament lamps loose brightness steadily as the batteries are consumed.

Beam In And Out-Of-Water The front element of the Projection Optics System allows the 13° out-of-water beam angle to expand to almost 20° in-water for hotspot free illumination of close-up subjects. The high color temperature or daylight quality of the light beam allows light to travel farther underwater, due to less absorption than that which occurs with light from stan- dard filament lamps.

O-Ring Seal

The O-ring and sealing sur- faces must be kept clean and lubricated with silicone grease in order to maintain the watertight seal and smooth rotation of the bezel. During cleaning remove the O-ring with your fingers. Do
