mb sub....a unique LED light system: TWINLED

mbsub · 29th November 2008, 14:10

After an extensive test phase we today present the result of a completely novel LED lamp head.
The TWINLED head has been milled from a single block of aluminium and is extremely robust. The slide switch with notches and locking mechanisms activates the 3 capacity stages 50% - 100% - 2x100%.
It is the only LED lamp head on the market with "intelligent focusing". The term "intelligent focusing" means that the decreasing brightness at enlargement of the light cone is automatically balanced out by an increase in output. That is attained by the use of 2 different reflectors. The light output is doubled with the added switching on of the medium reflector. In both first output stages only the LED with the spot reflector is used. Naturally, the new LED head is 100% compatible with our PHOTON / LED-CAVE system.
Technical data:
2 x OSTAR 1000 lumen LED (power consumption each 16W)
Reflectors: 10°spot and 20°medium
max. light output: approx. 2000 lumen (equals 2x50W halogen)
Dimming stages: 50% - 100% - 2x100%
Burn time with our LED-CAVE canister: 12hrs - 6hrs - 3hrs
Total discharge protection
Material: aluminium, scratch proof, hard anodised, black
With Goodman handle (hard + soft)
Weight: 620g
Dimensions: L=93mm; H=50mm; W=87mm
Pressure resistant: 200m

The LED head can also configured only with two spot reflectors.
In combination with this new release we have also done some reconstruction work on our website. Apart from the 2009 pricelist, it now contains the complete,newly subdivided LED light system.
The TWINLED head will be available from the end of December. For the first 10 advanced orders (TWINLED-CAVE or TWINLED head) we offer a special discount of 20% on the regular retail price.

Looks really awesome. Impressed with what you've done.
Could you post a beamshot of this twin head beside a beamshot of the cave led?

Thanks

Hi Fletcher,

thank you for the laud.
With the real beam shot i need some time, but the spot beam is the same like the beam with the LED-CAVE / PHOTON because it is the same LED and the same reflector.
The beam with both reflectors (spot + medium) is naturally more wide. If i use 2 x spot reflectors in this LED head, the beam with both LEDs is the same with only 1 LED (over water).

I'm not quite clear what you mean by this. Do you mean that you can't have just the wider beam LED on without the spot.
I'd like to be able to have either LED on at half or full power, or both at half or full power. Is this achievable?

Hello Neil,
sorry, but this is not possible. We have place only for 4 switching steps:
1. OFF
2. first LED (spot) with 50%
3. first LEd (spot) with 100%
4. both LEDs (spot+medium) each with 100%
If you see the result of the light, i am shure you will like it.

Any chance of making 5 steps?
1. OFF
2. first LED (spot) with 50%
3. first LEd (spot) with 100%
4. both LEDs (spot+medium) each with 50%
5. both LEDs (spot+medium) each with 100%

Can you send one to one of the RBW staff for review and testing?

On your website you mention burn time of 3hrs + 90 minutes emergency light, can you give more detail about the emergency light level?

Thanks,
Neil
