Canister Light

Post by peret »

Am scris si pe un alt forum si daca tot am scris asa de mult postez si aici articolul:

(RO)
Ca sursa de lumina principala eu folosesc "Canister Light" (habar nu am cum se spune pe romaneste) de 50W cu halogen si acumulatori cu acid, sigilati (important ca sa nu creeze gaze in timpul functionarii care pot duce la explozia canistrei)

Modelul este un "hand made" industrial...adica este unul care face lampi in mod industrial "la comanda". Partea buna e ca sint indestructibile, pe bune, iar partile componente sint disponibile in orice magazin de electronice inclusiv bateriile deci intretinerea e mult mai ieftina decit una de firma.

Lampa e fabricata in Finlanda de Tero Sinkkonen in Joensuu (e o localitate in Finlanda) si pot fi cumparate de la el direct sau prin SubAqua Finland.

Capacitate baterie: 14.4Ah
Curent bec: 50W
Iluminare: 36 flood
Timp de functionare estimat: 2h 45m
Greutate: ~8kg
Flotabilitate: -2kg (negativa 2kg)

Folosirea "Canister light":

In mod normal, "canister light" sint atasate de centura de la mijloc de la o configuratie harness/wing. Daca e folosita cu un BCD normal atunci se ataseaza de cureaua de prindere a buteliei. Aceast prindere va face impoisibila manevrarea intrerupatorului deci o intelegere prealabila cu "buddy" e necesara pentru a o aprinde sau stinge.

A se evita aprinderea lampii in afara apei deaorece lampa se incalzeste la o temperatura considerabila ceea ce va face sticla sa se sparga la contactul cu apa rece.

Capul lampii are atasat un miner tip "Goodman" care poate fi folosit pe mina stinga sau pe mina dreapta. Minerul poate fi ajustat sa se potriveasca miinii cit mai bine.

Important:

* intodeauna sa ai cu tine cel putin o lanterna de rezerva (de preferabil doua)
* intotdeauna sa cunosti timpul estimat de functionare

In poza atasata am pus "Canister light" linga o cutie de CD ca sa va puteti face o idee asupra dimeniunii.

(EN)
As main light I'm using one 50W "Canister Light" (I have no clue how you translate this in romanian) with halogen and sealed lead-acid batteries (very important to avoid gas acumulation during usage making the canister to blow off)

The model is "hand made" in a industrial manner, in other words there is one person that is doing this kind of canister light based on order. The good side is that they are actualy indestructible, really, and all spare parts are available in any electrical appliances shop inclusing teh batteries so the maintenance of them is realy cheap compared with some branded canister light.

The light is manufactured in Finland by Tero Sinkkonen from Joensuu (city in Finland) and is available either from Tero directly or via SubAqua Finland.

Battery capacity: 14.4Ah
Current bulb: 50W
Light: 36 flood
Estimated burn time: 2h 45m
Weight: ~8kg

Canister light usage:

Normally, canister lights are attached to the waist belt when using a wings/harness configuration. If using the canister light with a normal BCD, you can thread it through tank cam, however this will make it impossible for you to switch the lamp on and off during the dive. Please agree with your buddy about this. Avoid switching the lights on outside water. The lamps heat up to a considerable temperature, and the glass may crack when coming to contact with cold water.

The lamp heads include a Goodman-style handle which can be used with either left or right hand. The handle can be adjusted to suit the hand size of the diver.

Important:

* always have with you at least a backup light (preffered to have two)
* always know the estimated burn time of your lamp


In the attached picture you can see the "Canister Light" close to a CD case to be able to estimate the size of it.

Habar nu am. Am postat poza si cu acumulatorul dinauntru.
Ideea e ca trebuie sa nu faca gaze in timpul funcionarii. Chimistii sa se pronunte aici ca eu am urit chimia din tot rarunchii la scoala asa ca nu le am deloc ;)
Am adaugat la specificatii si flotabilitatea: -2kg

Eu am una facuta de un meserias: acumulator de 7Ah sau 9Ah, acumulatori folositi in UPS urile de calculator.
Folosesc un bec de 20 W halogen.Canistra, "cantarola" cum ii spun eu e facuta din inox deci un pic cam grea. Am prevazut capacul cu 2 iunele zero si cred ca "tine" si la 100 de m daca nu si mai bine. Oricum pana acum nu am avut nici un incident. Am cumparat niste teava din Ertacetal (un fel de plastic dur) si cred ca o sa fac o noua canistra mai usoara. Plumbul in buzunarele vestei este mai usor de manipulat decat o canistra care atarna intr-o parte.
O sa postez foto cu lanterna mea.

Despre acumulatori: sunt cei capsulati folositi in UPS. Nu am avut probleme cu utilizarea lor. Sunt ieftini usor de inlocuit si usor de gasit. Unele firme folosesc la lanternele fabricate de ele acest tip de acumulatori. Puteti lua in "colimator" si acumulatori NiMh dar pretul e mult mai mare.
