Mangrove Gloombusters
Mangrove exploration and mini exploration lights offer the serious diver many
design advantages. Mangrove lights are manufactured from aluminium for
durability and lightness. They are driven by memory-free nickel metal hydride
cells (NiMH) which are considered to be the state of the art power cells for
high-end dive lights and they are quickly and easily disassembled for bulb
replacement, switching reflectors and air travel, should you be asked to open
the unit. All Mangrove lights feature double O-ring seals, locking magnetic
switches and interchangeable reflectors for use either as exploration lights or
for shooting underwater video.
Mangrove Halogen Lights
Mangrove C2 Halogen
This ultra-compact light outputs 26 watts for around sixty minutes. The
narrow beam is ideal for day diving when you want to search under overhangs and
in crevices. Despite its low cost, the Mangrove C2 Halogen even sports a choice
of two power levels (100% and 60%), so you can turn the light down if it's too
bright or to extend burn time.
Mangrove Compact C4 Halogen

Mangrove HID (High Intensity Discharge) Exploration Lights
HID (High Intensity Discharge) lighting offers significant advantages
over traditional bulb technology, such as halogen. The benefits centre on
a more efficient bulb providing around three times greater output than an
equivalent halogen type. To get the output of a 150 watt halogen light,
only a 50 watt HID lamp is required. Because a lower wattage bulb can be
used, battery life is greatly extended. You can enjoy high power lighting
while minimising weight and bulk. This makes the light easier to carry
abroad and creates less drag underwater. HID lights offer a colour
temperature that is near sunlight. This maximises penetration through the
water, so you can see farther, and lets you see truer colours. It also
makes them more suitable for video lighting for which a video reflector
is needed to widen the beam angle.
Mangrove Compact C2 HID
The Mangrove C2 HID lamp is extremely compact, yet produces the
equivalent of a 30 watt halogen bulb from its 10 watt HID bulb. Burn time
is two hours.
Mangrove Compact C4 HID
This is a very high output hand-held exploration lamp. It's an excellent
choice for the professional divemaster guiding at night, in wrecks and
through caverns. On full power, the Mangrove Compact C4-H runs for just
over an hour. With two additional power settings (80% and 70%) you can
gain extra burn time for only a small drop in illumination.
Mangrove PS9H50 Canister Light
The Mangrove PS9H50 is aimed at the adventurous diver demanding
exceptional light output, long burn times and an easily handled light
head. With a HID bulb of 50 watts, the output from this exploration light
matches that of a 150 watt halogen lamp. Burn time is two hours. The lamp
head is aluminium for durability in tough environments. An M8 mount lets
you choose how you carry the lamp head with options including pistol
grips, Goodman handles and camera/DPV attachments. The cannister is
rugged and double O-ring sealed. There's a neoprene protective sleeve
included and a solidly built clip for attaching the pack to your tank or
harness.
