Three new lightweight, rechargeable, waterproof lights from Exposure Marine maximize night vision and offshore safety.
Exposure Marine, a UK-based company that specializes in high-performance lights and other safety gear, has launched three new waterproof lights geared for offshore sailors. All three—the RAW Plus and RAW X handheld lights and HT RAW headlamp—have been developed to meet World Sailing Offshore special safety regulations, and all three can instantly access red mode without having to first go through white modes, the better to preserve night vision. All are rechargeable vis USB-C.
The HT RAW is a 750-lumen headlamp made of lightweight aluminum construction weighing just over 100 grams (3.5 ounces). Its spotlight white beam can penetrate long distances in the dark, while a low, wide white beam is good for up-close tasks. A wide red beam, accessible with just one click, shifts you into night mode with up to 95 hours of run time. The wide headband has reflective material, making you easier to spot at night. $146.
The RAW Plus waterproof pocket flashlight, made of marine grade anodized aluminum, has a 500-lumen bright white light on one end and 90-lumen red light on the opposite end. Each beam has three modes from high to low, and the light is designed to always start with one click on the lowest light setting to preserve vision. It weighs just 104 grams (3.6 ounces) and is 4.5 inches long to easily slip into a pocket or lifejacket pouch. $92.
The RAW X is a 750-lumen waterproof pocket flashlight with a red mode runtime of more than 140 hours. Much like the HT RAW headlamp, it has three modes—spotlight white beam, low, wide white beam, and red. It’s built of lightweight aluminum weighing just 3.7 ounces and is just under 4 inches long. $125.
The World Sailing Offshore Special Regulations require a watertight, IP67-rated rechargeable LED torch of at least 400 lumens. You can buy these lights knowing you’re working toward a cleaner ocean; thanks to Exposure Marine’s collaboration with CleanHub, each purchase helps remove a pound of plastic from the oceans.
