General Information |
The BIRNS SNOOPERETTE is the world's most durable and versatile small general-purpose underwater light. Proven by experience, the SNOOPERETTE was developed in the mid-1970's and, apart from periodic upgrades, remains essentially unchanged from the original, superb style. Many SNOOPERETTEs in the field from the 1970's are still in use!

|
Applications |
The low-voltage SNOOPERETTE is versatile, and is used by divers, on cameras, ROV's, etc. It can be mounted on a helmet, hand-held, or yoke-mounted, with choice of 25 to 360-watt lamp, and six different lens options. It's an excellent light for general-purpose illumination, and is also very good for color or black and white filming and videotaping.

What You'll Need |
To operate the BIRNS SNOOPERETTE, you'll need the following items:
|
||
|
The Power Cable Assembly is available in unbroken lengths up to 1,000 feet. We make the cables to your order, so you can get any cable length that you wish. Special configurations and/or cable jacket materials are also available.
|
|||
|
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. |
