Introduction

Like every Ikelite product, the Vega is designed, built and tested in the USA.
We use locally sourced, top-grade materials. Our lights are built by hand
and individually tested for function and waterproof integrity. The average
assembly technician is a certified scuba diver and has over 16 years of
experience building Ikelite products. We back our products with over 50
years of experience and service within the dive industry.

The Vega packs a lot of power into a compact and travel-friendly package.
Switch quickly between full, half and quarter powers for video, focusing,
macro photography, or to use as a backup dive light. Power level is
controlled by a large, easy to turn dial on the rear of the light. A premium,
high-capacity built-in rechargeable battery provides up to 3 hours run time
on a single charge.

Each Vega is completely factory sealed and water pressure tested for
care-free maintenance. The clever rear dial over-rotates to a secondary "off"
position with a lock to prevent the light from accidentally turning on when
not in use. Two gold-plated, independently waterproofed charger ports are
deliberately hidden when the switch is in the safety lock position to eliminate
the possibility of inadvertently shorting the light during travel.

The Vega features a ring of 6 LED indicators directly on the back of the
light. Three Blue LEDs give you power level information and three Red
LEDs show remaining battery power at a quick glance.

Usage

- When you are ready to turn on or charge the Vega, slide the Locking
Switch toward the center of the Power Dial. Rotate the Power Dial
clockwise to the OFF/CHARGE position. Insert Charger Plug or continue
rotating to turn on.

- Fully charge the Vega before each use (see Charging the Vega, page 7).

- Always keep the Vega Power Dial in the LOCKED position, page 6,
when not in use or charging.

- CAUTION: The Vega is designed for UNDERWATER use only and

- see diagrams on pages 5 and 6

has cooling channels which allow water to constantly cool the light. DO
NOT leave the Vega on for long periods of time above water. This may
cause the Vega to overheat and shut off. If this happens, turn the Power
Dial to the OFF/CHARGE position. A built-in safety feature will not allow
the light to turn on until a safe operating temperature is again achieved.
Keep the Vega out of direct sunlight for extended periods.
