BIRNS Snooperette

The BIRNS Snooperette™, BIRNS Model 5672, 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 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 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 3400M and provides powerful lighting options for diving, submarine, ROV, photography, and offshore oil and gas inspection applications.

Features:

  • 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 6 lenses, 3 mounts, and 10 lamps

Equipment Needed:

  • BIRNS Snooperette light (which includes choice of lamp and lens)

  • Mount (not required for operation but is useful in some applications)

  • Power Cable Assembly (item CEF2S16-xxx, where “-xxx” is the length in feet.)

Power Cable Assembly:

Model CEF2S16-xxx (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.  Available in unbroken lengths up to 1,000 feet.  The cables are made to order, so specify any cable length and/or special configurations.  (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.  The BIRNS VTX will 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.
