LIGHTNING INDICATION | DELIKIM NITELITE V2

If you haven’t visited light-up indicators in some time, you may still be thinking bulky and clunky. Delkim’s NiteLite V2 shines a new light on such devices

I’m sure I’ve seen something like this before.
If you’re familiar with the indicator range from Delkim, then yes, you likely have. This product represents an evolution of their original NiteLite Pro and the SlimLite Indication Set. The resulting sibling now offers the capability to accommodate heavier weights, enabling it to cope with a broader range of weather conditions.

Let’s begin with the most apparent question: how does it illuminate?
That is made possible by its distinctive patented CatFlex™2 cable, which gives the indicator a ‘bobbin chain’ feel. Whilst it can be used as a traditional free-hanging bobbin, connecting it to the unique Tilt ‘N’ Slide SlimCarb Carbon Stabiliser arm extends its usability to all weather conditions. Back to the cable—this runs to a 2.5mm plug, which is compatible with the following Delkim models: Tx-i Plus, Standard Plus, Ev Plus, 25 Plus, and Txi-D.

Sounds good but is it something else I’ve now got to buy batteries for?
No need! The Delkim alarm powers it, and you’ll be glad to know that it has a minimal impact on the alarm’s battery life. Even more impressive is the NiteLite V2 replicates all the Delkim LED functions: flashing latching, brightness adjustment, and Night Marking.

What’s the bobbin head and line clip like?
The head is moulded from a special high-visibility light-dispersing material, so when activated, there’s no missing it. As for the line clip, it’s equally unique. Featuring a patented self-adjusting integral magnetic line clip, and unlike 90% of other indicators, the head doesn’t detach from the line until you strike.

One final question from me: what’s included, and how much does it cost?
The set comprises the NiteLite V2 Illuminating Hanger, SlimCarb Carbon Stabiliser, and ‘C-Slot’ drag weights (a Heavy ‘C’ Slot Weights Pack is also available separately). The heads are available in six LED colours and retail for £37.99.
