How we calculate scores →About this gear
The Mini 1200 is a handheld spot light with 1200 lumens and a 6° underwater beam. Three brightness levels make it easier to reduce output for close work, and separate flash and SOS functions provide signalling options. An optional YS adapter allows mounting beyond the supplied lanyard arrangement.
Consider before buying
The 6° figure describes the beam underwater, which matters when comparing it with lights quoted in air. Check whether the listing is the bare light or the battery-and-charger kit. ScubaLab’s first look praises the grip and compact format but is not a long-term test or a scored comparison.
Our take
Choose the 1200 for concentrated handheld illumination when the tighter, brighter Mini 1600 is unnecessary. Neither offers the broad coverage of a dedicated Sea Dragon video light. The package choice and beam shape are more useful buying distinctions than treating the two models as interchangeable.

SeaLife Sea Dragon Mini 1200 & 1600: ScubaLab First Look ↗
This first look discusses the two compact torches’ grip, single-button operation and package choices. It supplies no numeric overall rating and should not be treated as a long-term durability test.
Source and scoring details
The article explicitly covers the Mini 1200; not the older Mini 1300. Shared observations apply to the pair, not a comparative winner.
