Well the best just got even better !

Divingniknaks · January 30th, 2006, 01:26 AM

I am delighted to announce that Salvo lights have now gone Lithium Ion !

These lights are now in stock in the UK and available for immediate shipment.

You now have the fantastic range of Salvo HID lights available with even more burn time and lighter than the existing NiMH range.

For details see here for the "traditional" range with Li-ion battery packs

or

the see here for the Remote Ballast range which have a smaller light head.

All the above lights come with the advantage of a dry lid, so that even if you cut the cord or damage the switch boot you will not flood the battery canister.

In conjunction with this launch there are deals available now on the NiMH range of lights currently in stock with us.

But when they've gone, they've gone !

Sounds interesting Phill.

What are the differences compared to the 18s then? Curious as to the ups and downs of the new batteries etc.

Divingniknaks · January 30th, 2006, 02:33 AM

Hmmmm,

Several fold really.

Sealed canister now, cut the cord or damage the switch boot it will not flood the battery.

Longer burn times, less weight, smaller canisters.

Of course, all still with the fantastic ability to use your Salvo as a lumphammer when needed :D

As I demonstrated to you last time you were in the shop, you and Di.

Did it again yesterday for a guy and thought he would need a swift brandy, the look on his face was a real Mastercard (priceless).

More examples of a truly awesome product, but just made better still.

I shudder to think what Barry has up his sleeve next

Cheers

Interessting, so will I still have to open the lid to charge the battery? And what will happen in regards to fire/explosion if I actually do manage to flood the canister?

Cheers

Very impressive I must say Phill, are there intentions to use the 18w bulb with these?

PS: You should do a video clip of you using a torch as a lump hammer, anyone who'se worried about fragile bulbs simply need see that :D

Thursday Phill?.....However, you can use one of your torches and not one of ours...........

Chicken, you should have faith in your Salvo

OK, we'll do it with one of mine then

I couldn't tell you about them at the time , but your "test" timing was perfect :D

Cheers

Looking at the colour temp of the bulb 6500 kelvin I would guess these new lights even though they are 21w do use the new style bulb anyway. The old style bulb was only 5600 kelvin if i remember correctly.

Phill - how about doing a table on your site to show lumens, colour temperature, burntime and important features?

Might make it easier for people to work out what is what.

I'm impressed, barry just keeps us surprised all the time!

Would this as well be the solution to our problems with series-parallel charging problems with the nimh cells? Someone with knowledge about li-ion cells could give us an expert opinion on this. And I thought I would be free of the urge to update my primary for a much longer time
