1.) Safety advise
The Oceanex Sunbeam was developed as primary dive light, but also as video-light
suitable for sport divers and technical divers. Due to its design type, it is more failsafe
than other systems with test-tube designs, i.e. with halogen or HID-bulbs. However,
malfunctions - which can never be excluded using technical equipment –while diving
can put you in grave danger. Therefore you should never dive without a redundant
light source. For sophisticated dives we recommend you to
take next to a backup torch a second burning unit for you
Sunbeam in your leg pocket. The units can be purchased
separately and are easily changed underwater.
The Sunbeam is a very strong LED-Lamp. Please never look
into the beam, directly, especially when operated outside the water. You potentially
endanger your eyesight.
2.) Environment of usage
The Sunbeam was designed to be used in all underwater environments. As
long as it is used in amateur sports- and tech- diving the Sunbeam is in its
element. Professional divers in environments above 35 bar pressure;
environments other than sweet- or saltwater or use scenarios below -20ºC (-
8ºF) or above 50ºC (122ºF) air temperatures as well as below 5ºC (41ºF) and
above 40ºC (104ºF) water temperatures should be avoided.
Caution! Please supervise sunbeam at surface, it could become hot. Don’t
burn your skin!
3.) Operational instructions
The Sunbeam V2.x is a LED-primary torch with electrical dimming. The
circuit is shed in the electronic and without housing enforcement it is
switched with fast intervals at the tank. The emitting light gets focused by
an external reflector. Operating without the reflector as a video light is also
possible.
The burning unit has no deep discharge protection for the battery pack. At
approximately 7V the system shuts down automatically when using UWAVIS
batteries. Please take extra care not to stress the accumulator’s capacity and
calculate its usage due to its input (4,8A at 6,23V) and duration of burning.
Alternatively you can install a deep charge protection device on you battery pack.
The burning unit includes a burntime maximizing system. It steps down the power
output in 2 steps, 50% and 10% when capacity is lower than 20% and 10%. It has
to be calibrated to your common batter cells.

The electronic device of your burning unit offers different operational modes. You
can operate your Sunbeam on 100%, 50%, 25% or 10% light output (depends on
your order). We have chosen the colour temperature around 5.500 Kelvin, which is
in contrast to HID-Systems a lot warmer light. That ensures a good signalling
contrast to the surface light while in shallow water due to decompression. The steps
can be set up to other values in our service.
4.) Getting started
a. Connection
Before turning on the battery pack please connect the E/O-Cord to your
accumulator with a voltage range of 6-17V. As long as the battery pack
is switched on you must not interrupt the cable connection.
b. Adjusting the Goodman-handle
Your Goodman-handle has an in height adjustable construction to make
sure it fits your hand with and without gloves perfectly. Please adjust it
right before your dive even though a readjustment anytime under water is
possible.
c. Circuit
Initially turn on the power supply on your battery pack. The lamp turns on.
To switch thru the modes please turn off the switch and switch it on quickly
again. With these short switch intervals you get to the next mode. The
electronic saves the mode when switched off and starts with that mode
when you turn it on again. Hidden SOS mode will be switched on after 10
fast switches.
d. Focusing
After switching on you Sunbeam
and selecting your choice of light
intensity you can focus the beam.
Put the lamp into you left hand,
put your left thumb through the
thumbloop. Open the focus
screw a little on the right side
with your right hand. Pull the
burning unit slowly out of the
reflector head using your little
and ring finger. Stop when you
reached the aimed focus spot and fix the position while tightening the
screw again. You can now use your Goodman handle as usual.
Recommendation: The tightest spot doesn’t necessarily offer the best
light! Focus as long until you have a sharp delimitation between the spot

and the corona. This setting guarantees the best visibility of your signs to
your buddy. Train your focus abilities on land.
If you wish to have wide light corona with the light scattered to illuminate
a wide area, loosen the focus screw and push the burning unit into the
reflector head until it stops. Then fasten the focus srew again.
e. Use as video light
For a temporary use as video light, for
example when operating an action cam, you
should remove the
burning unit from the
reflector head and hold it
in your hand. That results
into a very homogeny light
without any reflection
rings. Due to its construction the intense light doesn’t
dazzle you at all and only very little divers approaching.
5.) Maintenance
Your “Sunbeam” is more or less maintenance-free. The LED is build for a lifespan
of 50.000 hours and should last a divers lifetime. It was important to us to build
in a high quality electronic too, so we have chosen our suppliers for their high
quality components used in their parts. All parts were tested in details and had
to proof their longevity.
We advise to rinse the lamp after use with clear sweet water to remove dirt and
salt deposits and also to minimize corrosion and the wear out on the O-rings.
IMPORTANT! Don’t wipe the reflector with a tissue or similar as it will leave
scratches. Only rinse it with clear water. With the time it will get scratched, so
don’t force it. If you need a new reflector simply contact us. We can supply you
with all parts. The reflector is easily fitted and secured with only one O-ring.
Please always disconnect your lamp from your battery canister so you don’t
switch on the lamp accidently.
Please visually test all O-rings on a regular basis. O-rings age and need to be
replaced on occasion. Only open your lamp as advised under point 6, when errors
occur or you need to replace O-rings due to usage. In that case replace ALL O-
rings and check the squeeze seals on the E/O-cord for tears. In case you don’t

feel comfortable to do the service yourself, please contact us for a service
assignment and send in the lamp. O-rings are;
1. Test-tube (2x)
2. End caps (2x)
3. Transition end caps to squeeze screw (1)
4. Electronic unit inside (2x)
6.) Opening of the lamp
a. Preliminary remarks:
In the process of assembling we concentrated on robustness and longevity
next to the quality of light and focus. Therefore opening your lamp is usually
not necessary.
b. Electronic and cable:
In the rare case when you have to open you lamp, for example when the
guarantee expired and you need to access a faulty part or you don’t want
to take advantage of our service, please follow the instructions below
i. First of all please check the accumulator carefully and the
connection for errors, so you don’t have to unnecessarily open the
burning unit. Test the sunbeam with another battery canister.
ii. Loosen the focus-screw until you can pull the burning unit out of
the reflector head.
iii. Before opening the burning unit ALWAYS loosen the union-nut of
the cable screw until you can easily turn the E/O cord in the end
caps. Remove the loop at the end of the burning unit by simply
cutting the caveline.
iv. Loosen the two screws at the end of the
reflector head so they stick out 3mm.
Use the reflector head as tool. To do so
you need to pull it off, turn it 180° and
refit it again. Open the burning unit. In
case it is hard to open warm up the
burning unit by using or with an external
heat source (hairdryer).
v. Unscrew the end cap completely and pull it off carefully. Do NOT
pull on the E/O-cord, but push it inside the cap.
vi. Check the main chamber in case of moisture.

vii. Push the E/O-cord through the cable screw until the electronic unit
appears. Loosen the screw connection with a small Philipps
screwdriver.
viii. When you change the E/O-cord make
sure you watch the correct polarity.
Standard for a new E/O-cord is plus black
on the cable and minus white on the cable
(!). Other cables might have other colour
codes.!
ix. If it was not a faulty cable, that caused the problem, it must be the
electronic unit. To prevent corrosion and problems in contact with
water it is sealed. You can replace the unit. To order please mail
us with the lamp details like model, the driver and the date of
purchase. You can also send in the lamp for repairs. Please
contact us on the phone or e-mail before shipping. We will find a
fast solution so you can go diving again soon and don’t have to
worry about the service of your lamp.
x. To rebuild the lamp go through the steps in opposite order
c. Test-tube:
The test tube of the lamp was fitted under negative pressure to prevent
condensate and secure it when it heats up. Please don’t pull it off if not
necessary. In case of a broken test tube, the lamp will function as normal
until the end of your dive, it will even last another dive. To replace the
broken tube please follow the instructions below:
1. Check the sealing on the LED for any damage that could
cause a short circuit. Please contact us if you are not sure.
2. Check the O-rings for any damage and replace them
accordingly.
3. Take the new test-tube and clean it with alcohol on the in-
and outside. Wipe them out and allow them to dry. Switch
on the lamp without reflector head to heat it up. CAUTION!
You need to make sure that the LED and the test-tube is
warm and absolutely dry before you proceed to prevent
moisture.
4. Lay a piece of thread from the LED over the O-rings down
the lamp and leave enough length to have a grip on it.
5. Pull the test tube over until short before the first O-ring, but
not over it.
6. Turn on the lamp and wait for it to warm up. CAUTION! Do
not look into the LED light.
7. Turn off the lamp and push the test tube down to the lower
O-Ring on the heated burning unit.
8. Listen to the gas wiping out of the test tube.

9. Pull out the string and turn the test tube a little to let the O-
rings seal it completely. Make sure that there is no gas left
in the test tube that pushes it up.
10. Check that there is no condensate when using the
lamp; otherwise repeat the steps 3 to 9.
7.) Concluding remarks
A lot of Know-how was put into the development of the “Sunbeam”. We developed
the features of this lamp from our own diving experience, we simply added what we
found was not available on the market yet. The prototype of the “Sunbeam” has spend
countless hours in the North Sea, in mines and in French cave systems, before the
final version of it found the way into your hands. Meanwhile you find SUNBEAMs in
whole Europe, Canada, USA and Mexico under water where the supply light. You
have chosen a brand new dive lamp that connects successful styles with the most
modern Light technique and clever innovations.
We are continuously developing new ideas and features for the lamp. Suggestions
from other scuba divers were the main drive for us to finally construct the lamp. Our
aim was to create our Sunbeam as a lamp without compromises. The result was a
high-tech product, which can safe lives for being a reliable tool under water. We
hope to satisfy your expectations too.
