[PSUBS-MAILIST] LED Lights

[Ken Martindale via Personal_Submersibles]

Cliff,

 

Thanks for your interest. I’ve been out of town for a while but I’m back.

 

I intend to start by writing a spec. I don’t have the mechanical resources you have so I would like to count on you for the housing.

 

I should have a preliminary spec ready for review by this weekend. I’ll send it out and it should raise some questions as to what is needed for PSubs.

 

Thanks,

 

Ken

Ken, I have been off the list for some time due to work and due to my email service not passing through psub emails.  I had to go to a gmail email account to get back in the loop.

 

I am in on your suggestion to build LED psub light based on the Bridgelux Varo 29 (BXRC-50C 10K0-L-24) .   I can help on the housing design and I have access to a machine shop to fabricate the housing. I also have test chamber we can use to qualify the prototype.  Maybe we could pick one of the DeepSea Power and light LEDs take its specifications and tweak to fit a typical psubs application.  

 

We would probably need to set up something like Dropbox location, accessible to all that want to participate in the design, fabrication and testing to keep from swamping the PSUB  list.

 

I have a function LED subsea light that works fine but would like more lumens.  It is a 5000 lumen light but would like a 10,000 lumen light.

 

My suggestion is for you take the point since you came up with idea.  Maybe we could canvas the site and see would be interested in working on the project as a first step.  Given your background in EE, maybe you could come up with a first pass at the specification and we can comment on it.

 

Cliff
