MARES XR Back Up Torch: Your Essential Underwater Safety Light

In the silent, deep blue, reliability isn´t a luxury—it´s a lifeline. The MARES XR Back Up Torch is meticulously engineered as the essential safety light you can depend on if your primary fails. Designed for the serious diver who leaves nothing to chance, this torch combines powerful performance with a rugged, compact form factor, making it an indispensable piece of your diving equipment. It stands as a benchmark for reliability among diving lanterns, ensuring you are never left in the dark.

When visibility drops and your main light source is compromised, the XR Back Up Torch springs into action. Its design philosophy is centered on absolute dependability. Tough, very compact, and super bright, it can be easily stowed in a BCD pocket or clipped to a D-ring, ready for immediate deployment without adding unnecessary bulk to your profile. Its powerful beam provides the confidence you need to safely manage your ascent, navigate back to the line, or signal your dive buddy in any situation.

The construction of this torch is a testament to MARES´s commitment to quality for the extended range diver. It features a robust Delrin body, known for its exceptional strength and resistance to impact and abrasion, paired with a durable aluminum head. This combination ensures the torch can withstand the harsh realities of technical diving and can be used reliably to a depth of 100 meters (328 feet). The simple, fail-safe twist-on/twist-off activation mechanism is easy to operate even with thick gloves and eliminates the risk of accidental activation or electronic failure associated with complex switches.

One of its most critical features is the precisely engineered 8° angle beam. This narrow, focused hot spot is exceptionally convenient for low visibility conditions. Unlike a wide floodlight that can create overwhelming backscatter in silty or murky water, the XR Back Up´s tight beam cuts through the particulate, illuminating your path and allowing for clear, effective communication and signaling.
