Teledyne Bowtech LED-B-Series
The Teledyne Bowtech LED-B-SERIES light is designed for use on small ROVs, with favourable physical characteristics of 0.05kg weight and measuring only 54mm in length and a maximum diameter of 31mm, there is no limit to where this light can fit.
Description
Designed for use in water, at depths of up to 4000m, the LED-B-Series is available with 1500 lumens, with the added feature that a thermal protection circuit reduces output when run in air or at elevated water temperatures. This thermal limiting ensures that the lamp does not overheat if accidentally run in air.
The lamp may be controlled through Teledyne Bowtech GUI software that is supplied as standard, and multiple LED-B lights may be controlled on a single RS-485 bus.
The LED-B is built with an overmoulded cable instead of a connector as this minimises length, and reduces the required clearance area when used on a pan and tilt unit.
