16K LED Floodlight (BLT-16K-001)
16,000 lumens that adapt to any ROV, from observation class to work class, with no part to change
A 16,000 lumen LED floodlight designed and manufactured by BMPTECH. Power range and control interface are set in software, which makes one floodlight compatible with any ROV in service today.
Subsea lighting is usually specified vehicle by vehicle. Every ROV has its own power bus and its own dimming interface, and the result is a store room holding a different floodlight for each hull, each with its own spare. The BLT-16K-001 was designed to end that: 16,000 lumens in a floodlight that adapts to the vehicle instead of the other way around.
The power range covers observation class through work class. The range is selected in software, with a safety check before it is applied, switching between 24 VDC operation and 63 to 220 VAC or 24 to 300 VDC operation. There is no jumper to move, no board to swap and no different product version to buy. The same floodlight that comes off an observation class vehicle goes onto a work class the next day.
The command source is chosen in the configuration, and intensity control accepts what the market uses: 0 to 5 V, 0 to 10 V, 4 to 20 mA, RS232, RS485, Modbus and AC dimmer. Each analog input has its own circuit and its own calibration. And protocol detection on the serial port is automatic, so whoever installs it does not need to know in advance which standard that ROV speaks. If the vehicle talks, the floodlight understands.
The response to the dimming command is adjusted in software. You set the reference AC mains range, between 110, 127 and 220 V, and the floodlight maps the incoming signal across it. Measured values are shown live during the adjustment, and access is password protected so the setting cannot be changed by mistake in the field.
All configuration happens with the floodlight already mounted on the ROV. It raises its own Wi-Fi access point, and any smartphone or laptop opens the web interface: operation, diagnostics, calibration, network, event log and firmware update. There is no proprietary software to install, no special cable to buy and no need to open the unit.
Internal diagnostics is what separates the BLT-16K-001 from an ordinary floodlight. It tracks input voltage, input current, power, internal temperature, internal humidity, internal pressure, processor temperature and driver status. Internal humidity and pressure are the early warning for water ingress, the failure usually found too late. Thermal protection derates power gradually instead of shutting off at once, and the unit also offers self-test, a health indicator and a recorded event history.
The LEDs are split into four independent sectors. If one fails, the others stay lit, and the operation continues with reduced light instead of ending in the dark, which inside an expensive dive window is the difference between finishing and going back up.
The housing is machined from 6Al4V GR5 titanium alloy, rated to 4,500 meters, in a body 100 mm in diameter and 125 mm long, excluding the connector. The recommended interface is the BMPTECH Quick Connector Series.
Applications
- Visual inspection on observation class ROVs
- Work class operations demanding high light intensity
- Fleets with vehicles from different manufacturers, standardizing on a single floodlight
- Replacing third-party floodlights without changing the ROV control system
- Operations where early diagnostics prevents losing the unit to water ingress
- Rental, where the same unit must serve different vehicles on each contract
