mb-sub's new BASE is a small, lightweight dive light, developed especially "for the requirements of diving bases and diving schools." Available now, the sleek light boasts 3-step dimming and 4-step capacity indication; 55 minutes of burn time; and an SOS emergency signal.

The unit features a 8.4V, 3.2Ah Lithium-Manganese battery; a 20W halogen HLX; and exterior charging (meaning there's no need to open the lamp to charge it). Users can even charge it from their car with the optional battery charger leads. Given the unit's swift recharge time of only 2 hours, that means you can re-charge it while you eat a leisurely lunch on the beach.

I think it sounds like a cool, little light -- but does anybody else think it's weird that the company's name (mb-sub) is in all lower case, yet their new product (the BASE light) is in all caps?
