Rugged gun-metal aluminum body offers a stealthy "tech" look while providing lightweight long-term durability.

Ultra-wide 80-degree beam is ideal for night diving applications.

Interchangeable light head is equipped with a CREE XML U2 LED.

720-lumen output ranks among the best in its class in illumination.

Light measures 8.3in/210mm in length.

Two modes: 100% and 50% power.

Double O-ring seals ensure watertight integrity.

Diamond-shaped knurling (metal indentations) on both handle and light head guarantees a firm grip, with or without gloves.

Easy twist on/twist off activation allows for trouble-free operation, regardless of depth.

Shock-proof rubber protection keeps the light head safe from knocks and bumps.

Over-pressure valve releases battery off-gassing -- a safety feature not normally found on dive lights at this price point.

A depth rating of 1000ft/300m ensures worry-free lighting in virtually all diving conditions.

Powered by three C-cell batteries (not included) that provide 10 hours of burn time.

Illumination

When it comes to evaluating a dive light's brightness, measuring lumens is the easiest and most useful comparison method. A lumen is the intensity of light as it is perceived by a human eye. In other words, a lumen indicates brightness, opposed to a watt which measures power output.

When it comes to cranking out brightness, the NOVALIGHT 720 WIDE runs well ahead of the pack. Producing higher lumens than most primary dive lights -- including many large pistol-grip styles -- and out-pacing virtually all secondary dive lights, the NOVALIGHT 720 WIDE leads the market in sheer light intensity.

Burn Time

Using a set of three C-cell batteries the NOVALIGHT 720 WIDE delivers intense maximum illumination which gradually settles into a steady light output, delivering 10-plus hours of total burn time. Using the light at 50 percent power extends burn time considerably.
