If you're looking for consistent quality and enhanced performance in a reliable primary underwater dive torch, the Ammonite Solaris NextGen Light Kit is built to withstand the harshest underwater conditions.
With 4500 lumens and 6-degree beam, the operational burn time ranges from 3 to 8 hours depending on battery size.
Ammonite Solaris Next Gen Light Kit burn times
You can select between three light kits based on battery size, power and burn time required. Each Ammonite Solaris NextGen Light Kit contains:
- Solaris NextGen Light Head and HD light cable (200m operating depth)
- Chosen Ammonite battery (100m operating depth) and charger
Each of the batteries below, the Accu 9, Accu 14 and Accu 24 can also be individually purchased, meaning you can have more than one size of battery to cover any conditions, whether it's just for a short dive or extended bottom time and decompression.
Solaris NextGen is durable and compact
Ammonite Solaris NextGen Light Head is built from hard anodised marine aluminium, making it resistant to corrosion, knocks and scratches and depth rated to 200m.
Easy to operate switch knob is made of lightweight but very tough and resistant to environmental conditions polymer (Delrin®). The 6mm front glass is made of highly resistant tempered glass.
Yet while exceptionally durable, it only weighs 340g, making it easy to hold by hand or with one of Ammonite System Goodman handles, so you have lots of flexibility. The light head is 117mm in length and 61mm in diameter.
Ammonite batteries
Ammonite Accu batteries are encased in a robust hard anodised canister. A lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery pack is completely free of the so-called lazy battery effect and protected against over-voltage.
In the standard version, the batteries are fitted with a webbing fixed loop fastening to the hip belt. The batteries can also be equipped with alternative fastening systems Sidemount Battery Holder or Accu Clic Mount.
The transport of lithium batteries is subject to international regulation, which can differ if the batteries are transported by air, sea or road.
All Ammonite lithium-ion (Li-Ion) batteries comply with UN Transportation Testing (UN/DOT 38.3) for Lithium Cells and Batteries and ensure the safety of your lithium batteries during shipping.
Take me home mode
The inner microchip system signals a low battery level with a strobe flash. When the battery is drained, it automatically switches to take “Take me home” mode (light output at 20% light intensity).
"Take me home" is a backup mode to which Ammonite umbilical lights switch when the battery is drained. Light will continue operating for at least 1 hour or more depending on the light and used battery. Light will only work in "take me home" mode until the battery is recharged.
