A novelty from Hi-Max – the V17 torch – has arrived on the diving light market. The device was created mainly for those divers who like to document the underwater world and always dive with a camera armed with flash.

The main feature that distinguishes Hi-Max V17 from other video torches with similar light brightness (2200Lm, 2*LED CREE XP-L2 U2, 5500K) is the function of automatic switching off and on the light stream, when a flash from a flashlight is detected.

This is an extremely convenient solution for the underwater photographer, who no longer has to hassle with turning the light off manually in order to take a picture using the flash. In addition to the already mentioned auto-flash-off function, the V17 torch is also equipped with coloured LEDs, emitting blue and red light.

Its small size (13.2 cm) and weight (235 g with battery on the surface / 125 g underwater) make the V17 a no-fuss travel companion that will easily take on board in hand luggage.
