The Miner's D-Light Transit (0-90° Quadrants) from Brunton glows in the dark with the press of a button for use in low-light places like caves and mines. An illuminated version of the ComPro Pocket Transit, the Miner's D-Light uses a round rare-earth magnet to resist demagnetization and align with magnetic north better than other magnetic materials. The needle's reduced center of gravity is designed to minimize needle dip when used near Earth's magnetic poles. The compass housing is silicone sealed for waterproof performance, and is compatible with Brunton's ball and socket tripod mount.
