REVOLUTION, EASYDIVE'S PROGRAMMABLE LED LIGHTS: THE EVOLUTION OF THE SPECIES
write by Massimo Boyer (Article on Scubazone 55)
The Revolution illuminator for 8 years has been a strong point for Easydive. The first born had a 5000 lumen LED, the evolution of electronics has made it possible to increase the power, and today three light powers are marketed, 7000, 15000 and 21000 lumens, spotlights equipped with a powerful, dense and deep light, for diffusely illuminate the scene and make the most of the colors of underwater subjects.
But the novelty is another: thanks to the constant search for new solutions, today there are two different versions of the product, Color, for the powers of 7000 or 15000 lumens, which allows you to adjust the color temperature from 2700 ° K to 6500 ° K (practically from the warm light of a halogen lamp to the cold and bluish light of the overcast sky), and Power with 21000 lumens of maximum power and 4000 ° K of color temperature.
Not only that: the user is able to set color temperature, power and Flash function (available with Leo3Smart and Diveshot smartphone cases), obviously dry before diving, via an app on the smartphone (RevMote, downloadable for free on Apple or Play Store). The Air Mode represents an extra security, not allowing the flashlight to turn on accidentally (an additional security in addition to the mechanical lock, designed for carrying in a suitcase).
All improvements can also concern old customers, in full compliance with the Easydive philosophy. Just replace the electronic control unit and the LEDs, and the old Revolution 5000 becomes a 7000 color.
The body of the illuminator, carved out of a solid block of aluminum, does not lend itself to accidental flooding. Charging takes place via a waterproof external connector, so there is no need to open the flashlight to access the batteries. A closure error is not possible because there is nothing to close, and the seal is perfect down to -150m, to the delight of technical divers. Easydive illuminators are guaranteed for 5 years. Thanks to the new LiFe batteries (lithium iron phosphate), which do not produce gas during use and recharging, it has been possible to eliminate any other waterway such as a cap or pressure valve.
Finally, the curved front lens, in full crystal, can triple the depth of field of light compared to a flat front glass. A special photographic film was added to even out the light and soften it at the edges.
In the event of flooding, Easydive will repair the illuminator under warranty, based on the principle that the user cannot flood it by mistake. (Of course, flooding is excluded due to damage caused by impacts or breakage of the door, which would compromise the perfect seal).
