The Underwater Kinetics UK 3AA eLED CPO flashlight is the newest in the long line of AA safety-rated flashlights from Underwater Kinetics.  It’s significantly smaller than the UK 4AA flashlight, coming in at just 5.3″ long, and it is virtually the same brightness and run time as the 4AA CPO light.

The UK 3AA CPO is safety-rated Class I, II, and III, Div 1, which means that the UK 3AA is safe to use in locations where ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, liquids, vapors or dusts can exist some of the time or all of the time under normal operationg conditions or where easily ignitable fibers and flyings are manufactured, handled or used.  Another nice improvement on this light is the choice between a model with a front switch and a model with a tail switch.

The Stats:

• 3 watt white LED, 110 lumens
• runs for up to 15 hours on 3 AA alkaline batteries (includes batteries)
• shines up to 440 ft
• pushbutton switch for constant on/off, choose tail or front switch (no momentary on)
