Exposure Marine’s range of XS-R compact work light is the ‘never to be without’ essential, both at sea and on land.  Designed to be worn around the neck, the XS is the smallest, brightest, toughest and lightest torch in its field. 

A personal favourite of Volvo Race skipper Ian Walker, it is the ultimate in simplicity. The red light means you have an easy to hand light which will not affect your night vision.  Lighter weight, more compact and versatile than a head torch, the XS will not conflict with hats and jacket hoods, and can be used in a headband, if required.   

With unmatched power to weight and size, the XS_R offers 21 lumens high definition output and lowlight intensity in a miniature package.  It's burn times are impressive too:

• with up to 6 hours burn time on high
• 60 hours on low beam

The XS is also available in white beam and green beam options (great for map reading and also protects your night vision). They are designed to fit Exposure’s basic stanchion bracket, suction mount or Magni-Grip tri-pod bracket, and can be quickly attached to most surfaces on your boat, rib or tender.  This makes them highly versatile and all three lights can be purchased as an Emergency Lights Pack.

A high visibility silicon band enables a simple twist operation with one hand, protects the torch from impact, and is safe to hold the torch between your teeth for those busy moments when your hands are full and you still need light!

Ian Walker, Skipper of Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing Team says “This little light is my favourite piece of equipment.  It is so useful, it lives around my neck all day and night when we are racing.  At night the red light allows you to work without disturbing your crew, or anyone else’s night vision.  And, even in the daylight it’s useful down below decks. You never know when you are going to need it, and with the little XS around your neck it is always ready for you but never gets in the way.”

Retailing at £44.99 and the XS range is available online, and distributed via Ocean Safety.
