Using your Firefly Pro strobe light is easy. You can either manually turn it on or off with the switch, or rely on the water activation feature. When you're in the water, it'll activate automatically. For signaling your location to rescuers, switch to the SOS strobe or the ultra - bright strobe mode. If you need light for close - up work, use the Steady - On mode. Remember, this light is factory - tested waterproof to 33 feet, but don't take it deeper than that. When not in use, keep it in a dry place. Check the batteries regularly to make sure it runs for the full 56 hours. If the certifications are important for your use, wait until they are finalized before relying on them for official requirements.
