Abstract: A resilient watertight light baton is disclosed having multicolored light source and power source mounted therein. The light sources are in electrical communication with the power source via interior electronics and solid state light sources. The exterior walls of the light baton are machined to effectively transmit light from the light source. The baton is extremely easy to use with only one hand and is controlled with a single button. By pressing the button the unit turns on and a steady glow color is emitted. By pushing the button again the color changes. By pressing and holding the button the selected color flashes. Ten colors or more may be selected or caused to flash using this procedure. This type of design is extreme robustness and can withstand extreme depths of submergence, making it useful for deep diving and submergence signaling applications.
