Princeton Tec Meridian Strobe/Beacon

Absolutely. While it is built to withstand the rigors of diving, its compact, low-profile design makes it an excellent safety beacon for kayaking, hiking, or any outdoor activity where you need to be visible in low-light conditions.

The light is designed with versatility in mind. It features an integrated clip that easily secures to 1-inch webbing, making it compatible with most PFD straps, backpack shoulder straps, or even SCUBA tank bands.

The red strobe is generally less disruptive to night vision and is often preferred for signaling in environments where you want to avoid blinding others. The white strobe provides maximum visibility and is better suited for long-distance signaling or search-and-rescue scenarios.

Yes, an IPX8 rating means the light is protected against water submersion, typically tested to depths well beyond what a recreational diver would encounter. It is fully sealed and reliable for standard aquatic use.

You can expect up to 100 hours of burn time on a fresh set of three AAA batteries. Keep in mind that extreme cold or continuous use in strobe mode can slightly impact total battery life.
