morph light

[Candiru]

Has anybody laid hands on the new led light from hog yet?

 

[Jim Lapenta]

Yep. Have one of the back ups in my hand now and was able to show off the cannister set up at the service clinic I taught in Baltimore. What would you like to know?

 

[Candiru]

I see that you can connect two heads to the canister. How does that work? I was also wondering what the lumen output was.

What I really want is a YouTube video review of the canister system.

 

[Jim Lapenta]

The cannister has two outlets. Use one or both. There is a cap that covers the second outlet when not in use.

Output is 1000 lumens. Hence the Morph1000 name.

The Morph heads are the same for backup ad primary correct? I so, can I use the video head on the backup battery?

 

[Jim Lapenta]

That's correct. The heads are interchangeable. Not being an underwater video or photo guy what impressed me with the video head was the lack of a hotspot. I shot a alot of 35mm on land and to get that kind of even light required the use of reflectors for the lights and flashes I used. It throws an even light.

Great thanks. I am going to pick up two video heads and two batteries then and possibly a canister. I want more video lights to hand off to divers for cave video. These should work nicely.

Is there any type of handle and mounting hardware included with the can light (I don't see any in any of the images I've see of the light). If not is their a handle availible to purchase other then the glove style (I don't see that working with my dry gloves being fairly thick and I want to be able to hang the light easily for donning and dofting procedures)

Also are the light heads wet swappable?

 

[Jim Lapenta]

The heads are not wet swappable.
I use the handle that 00wabbit here on the board sells with the back up that I have.
It works perfectly and at a good price. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/li...oodman-style-handle-dris-1000-500-lights.html

As for mounting options the cannister is designed to give you plenty of them. Rather than limit you to the standard webbing and two hose clamp system.
