Shedding some light on the subject
Underwater Kinetics' Unilite is a 360-degree addition to the company's family of flashlights
Underwater Kinetics' Unilite is one of the most universal lights in its class, featuring a right-angle head that can rotate 360°. The Unilite also comes standard with an industrial strength nylon pocket clip, and a stainless steel ring attachment. These two features allow the user to lay the light flat and swivel the head in any direction to set the light and use it as a directional lantern, tether it to turn-out gear, or attach to a jacket to travel with them. Either way, this provides the option of hands-free operation and focusing the light where it is needed most.
The light projects a smoke-cutting beam that has the same brightness as the UK 4AA, the company's largest selling helmet light, and is as bright as the C-cell competition. The light is submersible to 3 meters; the case is corrosion-resistant; and the product can be used with either a Xenon or LED lamp. The Unilite also is Class I, Div. I and UL-certified for use in hazardous locations.
"The Unilite...combines the best of all worlds—the reliability, ruggedness, compactness and brightness of the 4AA, with the advancement of complete flexibility in usage," says Alan Uke, president of UK.
The Unilite also offers an O-ring seal to prevent dust and dirt invasion; can withstand 6-ft. drops to concrete; fits all UK4AA accessories; and provides battery safety features including polarized battery contacts, hydrogen elimination catalyst, and 0 PSI over press equalization membrane.
