Using the
latest LED, power supply and micro-controller technology, this LED retro fit
provides 200 lumens of light output (a standard 3W Oldham bulb provides 48
lumens). The beam has a 10° angle which gives an excellent spread of light,
illuminating a much wider area. The hue of the light is much closer to day
light, without the yellow tinge bulbs produce. It runs from battery packs
giving 1.3 to 7.0V DC output and has reverse battery protection. It will work
with almost any battery combination and will provide light output when normal
bulbs will not even light up. Installation into a cap lamp is straight forward
and can be carried out in less than 10 minutes using a small flat blade screw
driver, full instructions are provided, no soldering or permanent modifications
are required.
The lifetime of the unit is well over 20,000 hours, so
bulb changing becomes a thing of the past. There are 4 modes: 1/3Watt (pilot),
1Watt (for normal activities), 1½Watt (bright) and 2Watt (very bright).
Mode changing is carried out by turning the cap switch on and off quickly.
Audio feedback is provided for mode changing, low battery and for over heating
if used in warm environments. If over heating occurs the RETRO 2 automatically
drops its power level until the unit cools and then reverts back to the
original power setting.
The RETRO 2 provides full performance with 2*,
3, 4, 5 cell NiCAD / NiMHD or 2, 3, 4 cell Alkaline, 3.7V Li-Ion cells and 2.4
- 6V Lead Acid battery packs. It will also work with single cell NiCD / NiMH's
/ Alkaline batteries at reduced light output. * With new cells that do not drop
below 2.3V. If used directly with a standard Oldham 4V 16Ahr battery the run
times for the RETRO 2 are approximately: 1/3 Watt (pilot) - 170 Hours, 1 Watt
(for normal activities) - 51 Hours, 1½ Watt (bright) - 35 Hours and 2
Watt (very bright) - 23 Hours.
The RETRO 2 is a unique LED light, which
combines the proven ruggedness of the tradional cap lamp with the latest
technology. |
