Introducing the New Halcyon Mini-Explorer

The Halcyon Mini-Explorer represents a new generation of lighting, blending the performance and convenience of Halcyon Exploration lighting with the size and portability of recreational, hand-held lights. Both recreational and technical divers will be impressed by the intense output of this convenient pocket size light. The Mini-Explorer provides an amazing amount of light from a housing roughly the size of a modern-day smart phone while offering run times up to 4.5 hours.*

so, anyone dive it yet? What is the beam style - flood or spot?
 
Wow that's one expensive light, does look nice though. Without getting into the whole lux vs lumen debate what is the approximate lumen value? also what is the beam angle? From the video it looks like one O ring on the battery compartment? Thanks.
 
so, what is the English translation to that?


Im guessing they believe this is a replacement for a canister light? If so, really? Seems a little optimistic. At less than 6000 lux at 1 meter doesn't seem particularly bright. As a warm water travel light might be good though, I do like its size and nifty handle.
