Darkside

Things look different on the Darkside.

Purpose-built for close-range lobster and crayfish hunting, its dedicated red beam consistently produces little to no visible reaction from lobsters and crayfish.

The Darkside’s compact design allows it to mount directly to your lobster snare or cray loop using our Torch Clamp keeping the beam aimed exactly where you’re working and leaves your other hand free, helping you locate, approach and secure your catch.

Description

Designed for lobster and crayfish divers who want a stealthier approach, the Darkside delivers a focused red beam in an exceptionally compact design.

Illuminates your catch at close range in dark caves, holes and ledges without flooding the area with bright white light.

Delivers approximately 1 hour 40 minutes of continuous runtime on High, equivalent to around 100 one-minute searches. This makes it capable of performing throughout a full day when used intermittently between surface intervals and suitable for night dives.

Care Instructions
  • Before entering the water, ensure all torch housings are completely tightened.
  • Keep the torch fully closed while soaking and rinsing it thoroughly in fresh water after every dive.
  • Allow the closed torch to dry completely before opening the charging port or battery compartment.
  • Recharge the battery after diving and disconnect it once charging is complete.
  • Regularly inspect the O-rings for sand, debris or damage. Apply silicone grease as needed, or at least once a year.

Following these simple steps will help maintain the torch’s seal, battery and long-term performance.
