Halcyon Photon Mini Backup Light

The Halcyon Photon Mini delivers impressive performance in a compact, streamlined handheld dive light. Designed for both recreational and technical divers, it produces a tight 9° beam with bright, regulated output that cuts through low visibility and provides excellent signaling capability.

Built with a hard-anodized aluminum body, triple O-ring seals, and a tempered glass lens, the Photon Mini is engineered for durability and reliability in demanding environments. Its compact size makes it easy to stow on a harness, BC, or wrist, perfect as a primary light for shorter dives or a robust backup light on deeper or more complex dives.

The Photon Mini ships ready to dive with AAA batteries included and can also be upgraded to an optional rechargeable Li-ion battery for extended runtime. Simple twist-on operation keeps things intuitive and dependable underwater.
