What are option to add more lighting to existing 4 lights?

SO SWEET, KEN. Would you mind if we posted this on our social media for Blue Robotics? If so, please let me know anything specific you would like me to point out and I would be happy to!

definitely!

The thing is becoming a beast!

Items of interest from a BR perspective would be the line cutter attachment on the end of a Newton gripper, 8 lumen lights, heavy configuration, ping 1D,and 3D, and of course the Newton Gripper R2. Cerulean USBL and DVL. Oh, and 4 cameras, and a GoPro! But you don’t have to put all that in.

Cheers!

Awesome, Ken! Thank you very much!

@noppita

thank you very much for your reply and support.

No worries, glad to help

@noppita

You are blue robotic staff right?

Not at the moment.

@noppita

is there any limitation on how many lights can be connected in series for my blue rov

Daisy-chaining more than four lumens?

Hi @TinyDiver As Matt mentioned, it is possible and fine to daisy chain more lights together. The only limitation that will eventually be hit is the amount current going through the wires. That depends on the voltage you run the lights at. For example, at maximum power they always consume about 15 Watts, so at 12V, that’s 15W/12V = 1.25 amps per light. So, which six lights you’d have up to 6 x 1.25 = 7.5 amps running through the wires. That’s about the normal rating for the 22 AWG wires to han…

@noppita

what part do i need to order for adding 2 or 4 lighting system to my existing 4 lighting system?

You’d need the lights themselves, an M6 lights penetrator if you don’t already have one, and the equipment to pot the penetrator (if you don’t have any potting equipment you’ll probably want at least a potting kit, potting compound/epoxy, and some acetone wipes).

Thank you very much. I will follow this recommendation.
