accommodate this into a cutting edge design, made to make the kind of
paddling we do more enjoyable & rewarding. Note, when

Led Lenser® Frogman D14 Torch Professional
divers know that conventional torches don’t get you very far when under
water. Refraction rules out long ranges. Therefore, Led Lenser

strength of focus that has hitherto been considered impossible. The
lamp head consists of high-grade steel, the body of shock-resistant and
shatter-proof plastic. A newly-developed magnetic switch facilitates easy
handling even with gloves. The chip has a service life of 100,000 hours, i.e.
if the lamp is operated for 3 hours per week, the diode will last for 600
years. The applications in sea kayaking are immense. It’s a spectacular
signaling torch, with a beam unrivalled for such a compact package, tied on
to your PFD it is an extremely visible, bright light, not to mention
applications around the camp. This is a tried & tested piece of
expedition kit which has never let us down. $99.00 Qty Req’d |
