much more than a backup torch

[mbsub]

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.

Any idea of the cost? Is Golem Gear still the only US importer?

[mbsub]

Here you find the pricelist:

In the moment Golem Gear is the only distributor for our lamps, but maybe we find more with these new LED-lamps.

Does the 19% VAT apply to US sales?

[mbsub]

No, the 19% is include only for clients in EU. For US is the export price.

Very nice looking lights, I will buy one as soon as they are available.
Seems like the perfect backup primary.

Looks like the adjustable beam model will be in the neighborhood of 276.00 dollars according to my currency converter.
Pricey for a regular backup.
Nice price for a Primary backup.

Of course it would be necessary to see one in action first!

Nice, what is the run time on those? And can they be run with NiMH rechargeable batteries?
