I've always been fascinated by Diving Helmets, especially Siebe Gorman's original style, it's just too cool.
I am sure there are many diving helmetholics belong to a forum somewhere, judging by the original helmet going rate,
Example:
I wanted to build a display light for office & double as emergency spotlight when electricity goes off. What could be better than making a spotlight out of brass & copper Siebe Gorman style diving helmets?
a BMW style Angel Eye projector lens was mounted into the front window.
The little red switch controls the blue Age Eye
Since this is for the office, to prevent people from turning it on, blind themselves & sue my pants off, a second switch is used to control the lamp with key ignition.
Sneak peek of the inside:
Short arc lamp & dual fan cooling. One fan will be in sync with the lamp, the other will be in sync with the angel eye.
Since angle eye is independently controlled, this fan will be used for after burner cooling.
Ballast mounting bracket installed above the lamp:
This is all I have to share for now, waiting for the Lifepo4 battery pack to arrive so I can start wiring
To be continued...
