GX40 Primary Canister Light by Dive Rite
Dive Rite GX40 Primary Canister Light: Endurance Meets Power
Lighting up a deep cave or a sprawling wreck requires more than just a bright bulb; it requires endurance. The Dive Rite GX40 Canister Light takes the compact, punchy performance of the popular FX40 handheld and tethers it to a robust battery canister. You get the piercing 2400-lumen beam you trust, but with up to three times the burn time. This combination allows you to push your exploration further without worrying about your light fading before you do.
Streamlined Power Management
Broken latches are a headache nobody needs at the dive site. Dive Rite ditched the traditional clips for a streamlined latchless canister design. This system uses a bayonet-style locking ring that keeps the unit snag-free and secure. Opening it is intuitive: simply depress the locking pin, rotate the ring 30 degrees, and pull the lid off. It’s secure enough to withstand the dive but simple enough to manage when you need to charge up.
Focus Where You Need It
The light head produces a tightly focused 4-degree beam angle. This tight spot allows you to signal buddies clearly across the wreck and cuts through murky water without creating blinding backscatter. Despite this output, the head is incredibly compact. It sits low on your hand, reducing fatigue and keeping your profile streamlined.
Built for the Tech Diver
Reliability is key at depth. The head-mounted piezo button eliminates moving parts that could foul or flood, offering smooth operation even at the maximum depth rating of 500 feet (152 meters). The construction blends CNC-machined acetal with hard type III anodized aluminum, ensuring the light survives the bumps and scrapes of overhead environments.
Choose Your Configuration
Every rig is different, so the GX40 offers options to fit your setup.
- Canister Size: Choose the Short Canister for a lighter, travel-friendly profile, or the Expedition Canister for maximum burn time during long decompression dives.
- Lid Angle: Select a Straight Lid for standard routing or a 70-Degree Angled Lid to keep your hose routing tight against your backplate.
