Nocturnal lights

[scubamickey]

Is there a way to clip the SL50 light to the D-ring on the BC? I can't see if there is any attachment point on the back.

Scubamickey opened a new thread about the D-ring attachment.

Short answer is yes, there is an attachment point on the back. I have a picture in the other thread.

Hell guys,

Sorry about the late response. Sometimes Scubaboard doesn't send me an email notification or the emails may be filtered out by the email servers... anyhow, thanks for posting the pictures and help answer each other's questions, I really appreciate it.

There's who holes on the handle for the SL50, so you're welcome to tie any clips or retractable lanyards on to it. The TL series lights all come with clips that you can clip onto the BC's D'rings or you can mount it on the tank strap or weight belt.

Hey Tim. Can you tell us more about that new LED light? What's the watt and lumen on it? I couldn't find that info on the page. How bright is it as compared to the 10 watt HID for example. Do you have pictures?

I still haven't decided what I'm going to do

By looking at the specs of the “SLX LED dive light,” 4 hour burn time, 5500° K, and six AA batteries, I would have to say it most likely uses three 1 Watt Luxeon LED’s. a single 1 Watt Luxeon LED puts out at best 50 Lumens per watt and other types of 1 Watt Luxeon’s only put out 25 lumens per watt.

Therefore, at best the Nocturnal “SLX LED dive light” at 150 Lumens has about one-third the light output of a 10 watt HID (450 Lumens), if it uses the 25 Lumen 1 watt Luxeon LED then it has less then one-fifth the output of a 10 watt HID.

The Metalsub XL7.2 with our 15 watt LED head uses five 3 watt Luxeon Star LED putting out 87.4 Lumens per LED. The 15 watt Metalsub LED has a light output of 437 Lumens at 5500° K, which is almost equal to a 10 watt HID.

Very nice, but very expensive too

Tim is there any way you could post a pic of the TL50 Extreme mounted onto a tank.

Chad,

While it is clear that you have an exceptionally high quality product, I feel that your head-to-head comparisons with your competitors are a bit too aggressive for this type of forum. Particularly considering that this thread is focussed on your competitor.

I am not saying that I don't think that you should punt your product on Scubaboard. Quite the contrary - one of the best aspects of this Board is that we have direct access to manufacturers and distributors of equipment. However, there is a time for saying something in a thread and some stuff is just better left to the PM or email system.

This is my opinion and it does not cost $599.90, so take it or leave it.

Having said all that, I really wish that I could afford a Metalsub system.

Cheers,

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for you opinion, I’ll take it.

I’m a big fan of head-to-head no holds barred comparisons which is why I like the UK dive magazine “Diver” and their monthly diver test section. Since I started reading it, I’ve never made a bad scuba equipment purchase.

As for affording a Metalsub system, I’ll give you (or any other scubaboard member) 15 % off your purchase of any Metalsub product. If you don’t see it at www.metalsub-usa.com look at http://www.metalsub.nl/eng/ and email me what you want, I send you and offer with a 15 % rebate.
