The AQ02F has been designed for use with foam lifejackets. Once the holder has been inserted into the lifejacket the AQ02F can be fitted. This feature not only makes the light less vulnerable to tampering, but also greatly reduces the risk of damage when been used in conjunction with
evacuation systems. Its unique activation switch offers the user a choice of either manual or automatic operation.

Seems all the aquaspec lights come with a 5 year battery and are sealed and tamperproof for your protection - ie you cannot change the batteries and have to buy new units periodically.

IMHO another RIP OFF........... /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
