The success of the original 150W HIDThru-Hull SeaLite established DeepSea as a leader in underwater lighting for boats. Now, thousands of boat owners can upgrade from HID technology to the latest in LED tech-nology without changing the fittingin the boat hull thanks to the new Matrix 150FS Thru-Hull SeaLite Insert. Even customers with lights that are nearly 10 years old can enjoy the benefits of LED technology. www.deepsee.com Optical Penetrator Line BIRNS, Inc. launched a new line of fiberoptic penetra-tors. The design is tailored for the rigors of thesubsea environment and can be adapted to a wide range of different cables. The new BIRNS fiber optic penetrator line comes standard with pressure rating of 70 bar (1,000 PSI/2,300 FSW), but can be specified to a higher rating, depending on theapplication, from ROV and AUV use, to defense submersibles andsonar arrays. These rugged penetra- tors are meticulously engineered to enable reliable fiber transmission through a bulkhead and are extreme- ly durable?constructed of AISI 316 stainless steel that?s passivated per products 84MTRMarch 2012 ROS? Lightning? LED When Remote Ocean Systems began work on the development of a new LED light for the undersea market, it had several key objectives in mind: develop an LED light with outstand- ing output, provide variable input power options with complete and smooth dimming control and offer both spot and floodlight configura-tions. The new ROS Lightning? reportedly meets all of these objectives and more. With more than 10,000 lumens of light output at 150 watts of input power, it is one of the most powerful LED lights available. The ruggedized housing can withstand pres- sures down to 6,000m and is offered in both anodized aluminum or stain- less steel. The ROS Lightning has a thermal sensing feature that allows the light to operate safely for extended periods. With optional flood or spot- light configurations, practically any lighting demand can be satisfied withthis one single light. One of the key revolutionary aspects of this LED tech- nology is the electronics. Using a software driven power driver, the ROS Lightning?has the capability to have input powers of 18-30 VDC and 108- 132 VAC. In addition, it has the capability of dimming throughout the entire dimming range in any voltage configuration, from 10% light output all the way to 100% light output and with any dimming control; forward or reverse phase control, 0-5 VDC analog, 0-10 VDC analog or RS-485. The revolutionary software in the ROS Lightning has the unique capabili- ty to program how much power the light will draw and prevents the possi- bility of fuse blowouts. A variety of connectors are available and are easy to service or change out. With no external ballasts, the ROS Lightning is a sleek package that is designed to satisfy all lighting needs. The flood light configuration can be used in the corners of an ROV for ambient lighting and a spotlight version can be attached next to a camera for excellent video rendering and light right where you need it. www.rosys.com MTR#2 (82-96):MTR Layouts 2/22/2012 11:10 AM Page 84
