IST's Dolphin Tech 2000 is a tech-bright, award-winning hybrid

POMONA, Calif., May 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- IST Sports Corp., manufacturer and global supplier of a complete line of scuba and diving gear, today announced the newest product in their highly specialized, premier line of Dolphin Tech diving equipment.  The Dolphin Tech 2000 (T-24040) is a technical-style dive light kit that delivers a powerful 50 degree 2000 lumens beam, ideal for wrecks or reefs.  It's the winner of the 2014 ScubaLab Tester's Choice and Best Buy Award.

In the research and development pipeline for the last year, the Dolphin Tech 2000 is the result of a collaboration with Watershot Inc., the renowned underwater cameras, housing and lighting equipment manufacturer whose products are recognized as the go-to gear for professional underwater film shooting worldwide.         

ScubaLab raves about this light:  "Careful where you shine this light when night diving, or you'll quickly become unpopular. It's blazing, with a hot-spot meter reading higher than any others in our test."  Divers can select between three power settings for normal use, or a strobe function for emergencies. The compact light head uses a pair of powerful LEDs, and is powered on and off with a unique, single push-button switch which also indicates three different battery status color alerts:  green when battery is fully charged, yellow when half full and red when in need of charging.

More features include a hand-mounted holster kit which keeps the light head securely in place, leaving the fingers free for other tasks. Two rechargeable lithium-ion battery packs are available, with ratings to 490 feet. The smaller 4-cell battery delivers almost 2 hours of use on high, and 7 and-a-half-hours on low. The 8-cell battery burns twice as long.

The T-24040 is from Dolphin Tech, IST's most recent corporate commitment to technical as well as commercial diving gear.  With a product-rich line-up of gear including BCDs, torches, computers, valves, hoses accessories and more, Dolphin Tech is the culmination of nearly 40 years of dive gear product evolution by IST.
