I think he meant PLB Device :)

BTW PLB1 too. That green light in the PLB1 picture, below, is the strobe light.

Which is not infrared, which is what I brought up about the new models coming out soon. A dive light or camera strobe is probably brighter, but a 24 hour automatic strobe even not impressive still has merit, and I guess the infrared would be great with night vision.

I guess the bigger appeal of the new models is the addition of a third set of satellites to connect with. That view screen on the ACR 2922 sounds interesting, but I can't see value.

I’m wondering about the benefit of infra red strobe. Less power draw? Isn’t the regular light would be much brighter when viewing with night vision?

I take 2 video lights whenever I go diving, so having light with enough battery capacity at night won’t be a problem for me. The video lights have 3 level of intensity to save the power consumption even further.
 
It's so you can see where you are drifting. You know, so you can adjust your watch for the new timezone you're in. Come on, it's simple.
