BIRNS Snooperette

BIRNS SnooperetteTM General-Purpose Underwater Light

The BIRNS SnooperetteTM, BIRNS Model 5663, is the ultimate low-voltage general-purpose underwater light—versatile and low profile (Ø76mm) for a diverse suite of oceanographic uses. It’s incredibly rugged and highly customizable, and can be helmet-mounted, hand-held or yoke-mounted. Its 5,000 lumen and concentrated 3200K white light is excellent for intense illumination, photography and video with a choice of lamps and lenses. With handy instant ON/OFF and hot-restrike capability, it uses a detachable cable assembly CEF2S16-x ('-x' is the desired length in feet). Optional cable locking sleeves are available in 316 SS (63A-003) or plastic (63A-004).

Applications:
Highly versatile and tough, the BIRNS Snooperette is rated to 6,000m and provides powerful lighting options for diving, submarine, ROV, photography, and offshore oil and gas inspection applications.

Features:
• 5,000 lumens
• Brilliant 3200K illumination—with potent internal parabolic reflector and Tungsten-Halogen lamp in focal point
• Compact (Ø76mm / Ø3"), mountable almost anywhere

• Fast, easy wire-free maintenance, 30 second tool-free relamping
• Voltage flexibility—12, 24, 30 or 36 VAC or VDC

• Customizable with options including 8 lenses, 3 mounts, and 10 lamps

Equipment:
• BIRNS Snooperette light (which includes choice of lamp and lens)
• Mount is not required for operation but is useful in some applications
• Power Cable Assembly (item CEF2S16-xxx, where "-xxx" is the length in feet)

Model CEF2S16-xxx:
Power cable assembly, xxx-feet long; includes standard cable connector, stainless steel cable locking sleeve (63A-003) and heavy-duty Hubbell plug installed, on 16/2 Aquaprene SO cable. (Note: the plug is not included on lengths shorter than 20 feet.)

Note:
Due to electrical resistance inherent in any power cable, voltage line loss will occur over long cable lengths. This causes a marked decrease in light output in low-voltage lights. We make the BIRNS VTX, which automatically compensates for cable line loss over any length of any type of cable. The VTX also incorporates a ground-fault circuit interrupter and a dual-line circuit breaker for the ultimate in diver safety and product performance.
