We have asked for a budget handheld Dive torch from Metalsub for a long time and we are over the moon with the addition of the Metalsub XRE 500 handheld dive torch.
The AA battery version of the XRE 500 comes in at around £120 and at this price you are still getting the unbelievable build quality that Metalsub stand for!
The Metalsub XRE 500 is 500 lumens, burn time of 120 minutes and features
such as dimming, warning signals and also another 5 hours fading light.
The XRE500 comes in two different models; Standard - which uses 6x AA Batteries or;
Rechargeable - which comes with an internal battery and MP400 Charger.
But with its weight and size, it is ideal to take along on a trip, only 400 grams!
Or how about as a backup light, small but powerful.
In short a versatile travel-light, backup light and universal-light for all your diving pleasure.
