if your next LED-lamp shouldn´t be a stopgap

mbsub · 31st August 2009, 09:39

mb sub has released 2 new LED-lights:

X1 - FF and the X1 - VB

Both are using a 3,5W LED and a special optic for getting maximum of brightness.
The X1-FF has a fixed light beam of 2° with 21.000 Lux!
This is record for this class!
The X1-VB has a variable light beam from 2° to 35° in an unprecedented light quality.
The max. brightness of the X1-VB is 17.500 Lux.
Both lamps will be switched only with thumb, no twisting of housing parts are necessary. Switching is possible without any impact by depth.
With the light beam of 2° you are on the save side of diving in each quality of water.
With the 35° beam you can enjoy the colourfull underwater world.

Both types of lamps additional exist in two different versions of batteries:
the small one for 3 x AA cells and the big one for 3 x C cells.
All parts are interchangeable.

With both lamps mb sub closed a gap between simple backup lights and big main lights.

Hi,

Can you tell us what's the Flux and Lumen using this light with 16 degrees angle instead of 2 degrees? This is closer to a laser beam than a flash light if I may say in which in my opinion getting Green Laser of 800mW would give you much better pointing if that's the intention of focusing the light to 2 degrees.

Only for additional information, a picture of both versions.
X1 for 3 x AA cells and X1 for 3 x C cells.

I must correct the values of the light beam, the hard spot beam has 3° and the flood beam has 25°.
The values of brightness are real.

If you want to see, how cuts the 3° beam of the X1-VB the 50W HID video light, then go here:

YouTube- Broadcast Yourself.

Last few seconds show the beam defocused to 25 degrees.
This is a perfect backup light, also great for signalling even in open water.
