HID and Halogen umbilical. Unique.

[divetheworld]

• Kohr Systems Bright Boy Dive lamp.

Dual head dive lamp system, totally unique.

Halogen, HID or both. Redundancy, power and technology.
Have the best of both worlds, HID and Halogen! Switch between either halogen 50% or 100% power, HID or both. A peizo switch is located on the hand lamp (similar to the controls on the new AP Evolution rebreather) to switch between modes without any seals or moving parts. Kohr's "Dive by Wire" Light Control is just one more way they enhance your safety and convenience. The interface between the diver and his light has no moving parts, therefore eliminating a nagging failure point associated with mechanical switches. The Bright Boy light head incorporates dual beam design. This approach opens the door on two key advantages:

1. Redundancy - Kohr take the dual socket design to its maximum/potential. By sealing each light socket from each other and the electronics cavity, we can greatly reduce the risk of light failure. Our unique approach gives you two independently operating lights.
2. Flexibility - Custom tailor your light - Kohr uses the extremely reliable, readily available, and cost effective Halogen Bulbs. The bulb assemblies are available in 12 watt, 20 watt, and 35 watt intensities. The 12 watt is available in "spot" only. The 20 watt and 35 watt are available in "spot" and "flood”. The Bright Boy is equipped with one (1) 20watt Spot and one (1) 10 watt HID (High Intensity Discharge) Spot. All user replaceable in seconds.

All systems include: Nickel Metal Hydride remote battery with dual 'O' ring seals, 5 Hr. “Plug & Go” smart charger, Mil Spec cord system with Hand-Goodman/Forearm Mount. Kohr's Patented Quick release system between all mounts and light heads has one advantage in mind: Freedom.

• Upto 5hrs burn time.
• Lightheads are made from components that are machined from aircraft grade billet aluminum (no casting), and Hard anodized for maximum corrosion protection.
• Extreme Durability
• Environmentally sealed light sockets
• Independent operation of lights
• Built in redundancy
• Microprocessor brain
• No moving parts
• Full control at-the-source
• Multiple modes
• High and low power settings
• Low power warning system
• Thermal protection

Included in this sale -

• Kohr Brightboy lamp
• Charger
• Hard case

Condition -
Used. This lamp has had a new HID element fitted in the last four weeks. A wet connector has been professionally removed from the umbilical, guaranteed against flooding. You will NOT find another lamp like this, look at the price and see it for the bargain it is. don't miss out.

The question I find myself asking is why?

Seems like a solution looking for a non-existant problem to me.

If you cant see the logic in the design, maybe you dont need one.

So why do you like this? What do you think the logic of this is?

Redundant backup in the same package which you can also light up to give additional illumination when needed at the touch of a button.
The redundant lamp, although in the same head, is seperately comparmentalised providing backup in the event of element failure or flooding.
You can have two different beam divergence in the same lamp head to provide spot and wider angle diffusion, user selectable at the tap of a switch.

The list goes on, but essentially it is the most versatile lamp I have seen. Your less likely to abort due to lamp failure with this than any other single element.
The halogen element is in a standard MR11 package available almost anywhere.
Yes, you can carry a backup in a pocket but you might prefer a more elegant solution. Lets face it, I'm not pricing this beyond what any other HID umbilical would cost you.
But the piezo tap switch, NiMh batts and redundancy are 'nice to haves'.

i can kind of see the point. i used to have a twin halogen niterider light that ran two halogen lamps, one spot t'other wide. one could switch between spot, wide and spot + wide. in the event of a bulb failure the good light would **automatically** come on. very useful when mountain biking at night.

however!!!

i really hope you don't swap betwwen HID and halogen on a regular basis. HID lamps **do not** like being power cycled, and need "cool down time" before being re-struck.

i think for redundant back, a totally isolated system would be considerably more sensible. does your system guard again a electrical system flood?

Yes, indeed.
Each each light socket is sealed from each other and the electronics cavity, There is no way that a flood in any of the compartments will lead to a total lamp failure except the battery compartment which has double 'o' ring seals, both in the axial and lateral planes. This unique approach gives you two independently operating lights in one hand-held lamp.
Dont forget that the on-off switch has no moving parts (and therefore no seals which can fail) as it is a piezo tap switch.

I have a twin lamp halogen nightrider, I've never had a bulb fail on it's own. I've had the head flood, the supposedly sealed battery compartment flood, and many times the battery run out (It doesn't come with an intelligent charger and I'm always wary over overcooking the batteries on the charger that it comes with).

None of the problems I have had with it are solveable by the second bulb.

As always YMMV

HID doesnt follow the same set of rules as halogen. When you need a backup, it had better be a reliable one. In this case, halogen.
I have had bulbs fail, in caves and wrecks. Multiple redundancy is something you appreciate when this happens. I would have expected you to see this as useful being a mix CCR diver.
However, hopefully someone will see the genius in this and shell out readies to my gas fund.
