Description
The
Space Cannon vh - DELUX is an Italian made entry
into the elite class of police and security type lights
from a company that realizes most of its revenue from
the design, fabrication and sales of architectural
illumination products that use LED's. The DELUX is
an R&D product that is available as a custom order
item in mass quantities.In the pre-production model
we evaluated, we noticed a striking resemblance in
aesthetic design, heft and handling to the venerable
MAG lite. The DELUX is highly innovative and in addition
to sporting a neutral BIN LuxeonV (5W), also is wired
with sophisticated circuitry and software. The DELUX's
electronic switch resembles the MAG switch but through
a gentle touch toggles between High power, Lower power.
Slow flashing and Off. At any stage of activation
from Off a full hold of the switch puts the DELUX
into a rapid strobbing mode of the same frequency
as a contemporaneous product, the Night Ops Gladius
(BlackHawk Industries). Another innovation is the
use of a rechargeable lithium Ion battery instead
of the usual NiCad or NiMH . The Li-Ion battery is
not only very small but it requires very little time
to 'top-off' the cells (15 minutes). A typical feature
of this battery chemistry is that the light will hold
its charge for months encouraging long term un-tethered
storage. The helical reflector focusing system is
similar to other such lights but its not cammed- meaning
that it's focusable between spot and wide-angle only
once.

Evaluation Results & Summaries
Ease of Use
Very Good. The user simply locates and depresses
the On/Off switch button to turn the light On and
Off in a similar manner to the venerable MAG. Focus
is adjusted from a tight hotspot to a wide anomalous
beam through a helical turning of the bezel. Battery
replacement is not user accessible. Charging simply
entails the insertion of the charging cable connector
into the socket at the tail end of the light. A Red/Green
indicator light flashes the two colors alternatively
to signal that charging is indeed occuring.The color
of the indicator light provides status information.
Red/ Green alternating= Charging, Steady Green = 100%
charged. Because the charging connection protrudes
slightly from the tail-piece, the light may not be
stood upright on its tail for a ceiling bounce style
of illumination indoors. It is stowable head down
as are all the lights in this class.
4.5 points
------------------
Task performance optimization
Excellent. The Space
Cannon vh - DELUX is a viable contender
in real world security and police work in the LED
class. Not quite as capable of delivering a mist cutting
beam as far as it's brethren, it nonetheless provides
a very bright, wide-angled combination beam that should
make it popular with police and security professional
working primarily indoors. The strobbing feature
is a useful non-lethal compliance tool that extends
the functionality of the DELUX. To conserve energy
and to better match output to context , the low output
setting gives the operator added flexibility. The
focusing reflector allows for a better adjustment
of spot focus to match the distance of the target
from the light. Beam output is magnificent- a very
wide and bright corona is pierced by a respectably
wide hotspot that reaches out to a phenomenal 160'.
The slow strobbing feature on the pre-production sample
we reviewed seemed less than very useful and could
be eliminated- reducing the steps from Off to Off
by 33%
4.75 points
------------------
Documentation Quality
Excellent. In very few words the documentation
manages to convey the important details of the charging
of the Space
Cannon vh - DELUX. The rest is very
intuitive. The user manual is available in English,
Italian, French, German and Spanish
5 points
------------------
Battery Charging (Ease, Frequency, Maintenance)
Excellent. The manual is clear and consise
in intructing users on charging the DELUX. After the
initial 6 Hr charge, the DELUX
only needs a mere 15 minutes to top it off
after one hour of use at high power. The charge status
indicator light starts by flashing alterately Red
and Green and then stays a steady Green when a full
charge has been reached. Overcharge protection is
built right into the light's circuitry. Since the
battery charges while inside the light, replacement
is almost a non-issue. It would be useful if customers
could remove the battery in the event that it fails
and needs to be returned for service- allowing for
the use of a back-up battery in the interim.
4.5 points
------------------
Balance, Grip-ability, Stow-ability, Tabletop Stand-ability
Excellent. The DELUX
handles exactly as does the 2D MAG-Lite but it's lighter
in weight. Grip is satisfactory on the sometimes slippery
low-profile knurled surface. It will not stand
up on its tail in ceiling bounce mode.
