SeaLife Introduces Its New Sea Dragon Mini 600 to the Tactical Market
OutdoorHub 02.21.14
SeaLife, a leader in underwater photographic equipment, has introduced its new Sea Dragon Mini 600 light to the tactical market. Extremely powerful, durable and versatile, the Sea Dragon Mini 600 blasts a wide beam of bright, uniform illumination that’s unprecedented among compact weapon lights.
Originally designed as a dive light to illuminate underwater subjects evenly for wide-angle illumination and photography down to 330 ft., the features of the Sea Dragon Mini 600 make it exceptionally beneficial in the tactical environment. While most weapon lights focus their beams into a concentrated spot to maximize brightness of their elements, the Sea Dragon utilizes a single newly developed CREE XM-L2 LED and a purposefully designed smooth reflector to create a 75-degree circular flood at a blinding 600 lumens. The Sea Dragon’s wide field-of-light output makes identifying secondary threats—or non-threats—in close-quarters operations instantaneous and fluid.
The Sea Dragon’s solid polycarbonate body was intentionally designed without switches, which can fail when operating in harsh environments. Rather, a simple 3-degree twist of the anodized aluminum bezel turns on the light. Precise threading and three sealing O-rings between the bezel and the body make activation smooth, silent, reliable and predictable.
Internal shockproof electronics provide two settings that allow the user to select either 100-percent or 40-percent power with an easy “on-off-on” cycling of the light. A pair of CR123 lithium ion batteries provide a burn-time of 60 minutes at full power, while a single rechargeable Tenergy 18650 li-on battery (optional) will operate the Sea Dragon for 100 minutes on full power.
The Sea Dragon Mini 600 weighs just 3.5 ounces (without batteries) and measures 5 inches long with a head diameter of 1.3-inch inches. Each light includes a Y-S monopod adaptor, a cold-shoe adaptor for a standard camera and a GoPro® adapter as well as a safety lanyard for hand use and 0-ring lube. The suggested retail price is $129.95. The offset Picatinny rail adaptor is available separately for $19.95, and a spot-beam head is also available.
