The Mares EOS Base torch is a diving flashlight specifically designed for spearfishing, ideal for exploring holes, cracks, and low-visibility areas. Compact, powerful, and easy to handle, it is engineered to deliver an extremely focused light beam — a key advantage when hunting inside tight structures or in dark environments.
1000 Lumen CREE LED and Ultra-Focused 3° Beam
At the core of the Mares EOS Base is the CREE XLamp-XPG3 LED, delivering 1000 lumens with a color temperature ranging between 5800 and 7300 K, producing a bright, penetrating white light.
Its main technical strength is the super concentrated 3° beam (Hot Spot). This narrow beam angle is particularly valuable for spearfishing because it:
- Directs light exactly where needed
- Minimizes light dispersion
- Improves fish detection inside holes
- Reduces backscatter and reflection from rocks and sediments
At a distance of 1 meter, the beam maintains a sharp and well-defined hot spot, allowing precise inspection of narrow cavities and deep cracks.
Lightweight Construction and Functional Design
The EOS Base features a durable plastic body, designed to ensure light weight and practicality during active spearfishing. Weighing 140 g (250 g with battery) and measuring 190 mm in total length, it offers excellent balance and ease of handling, even when wearing thick gloves.
A professional aluminum alloy reflector enhances beam efficiency and light definition, optimizing overall performance.
Main dimensions:
- Total length: 190 mm
- Head diameter: 49.5 mm
- Body diameter: 40 mm
USB-C Rechargeable Battery and Runtime
The Mares EOS Base is powered by a 1600 mAh 14500 Li-ion battery, rechargeable via USB-C, providing a modern and practical charging solution without the need for dedicated chargers.
- Runtime: up to 85 minutes
- Charging time: approximately 200 minutes
- Power switch: On / Off
The switch has a special system that permits to insert an element positioned on the long elastic lace to lock the torch off when carried in the bag, avoiding accidental turning on.
This setup makes it suitable for medium to long spearfishing sessions, with convenient recharging between dives.
Reliable Down to 100 Meters
The Mares EOS Base torch is rated for a maximum depth of 100 meters (328 ft), positioning it as a reliable tool even for experienced spearfishers operating at significant depths.
It does not feature adjustable zoom — a deliberate design choice that prioritizes beam concentration, mechanical simplicity, and long-term reliability underwater.
Who is the Mares EOS Base torch designed for?
The Mares EOS Base torch is particularly suited for:
- Spearfishers practicing hole hunting
- Exploring deep cracks and rocky structures
- Diving in low-visibility conditions
- Users who prefer a narrow, precise light beam
Thanks to its ultra-focused 3° beam, 1000-lumen output, and lightweight design, it stands out as a light and purpose-built spearfishing flashlight.
In summary, the EOS Base torch focuses on precision, simplicity, and efficiency — three essential elements when underwater visibility and target accuracy make all the difference. The EOS Base adds to the BEst Choice winning torch, the Mares EOS Pro.
