Polarions small searchlights

[Team Member]

Sooo....I can´t keep it to myself anymore

Polarion will soon be offering 2 new models, SD7 and SD8.


At first I thought that one of them would be a dual-stage light but after reading the manual there seems to be just different lamps inside.

SD7 will be 30w and SD8 35W. Both will be rechargeable but it will not be possible to change the battery.

Some pics..

If you look at the pics you can see wich one is SD7 and SD8 since SD7s battery is just 2200mAh and SD8 is 4000mAh. Both 14.4V.


I will take some better pics when I get my two lamps And some beamshots.


First I thought that I should have gone and bought me a L35 but when I heard about these 2......

Pics are taken by a good friend...

They look nice and appear to be li-po but I'm not sure if they are or not. I'm not sure what the weight is but they appear to be very lightweight.


There is also a 100m dive light called the "U2", a 2 stage 30-40W PH based light called the "Dual X" and a funky 3 stage 30,40,50W called the "EVO 3" with swept back upper and lower handles. That one is just plain weird and I'm still trying to figure out the design on it.

Li-Ion according to specs.

Size 265*92*117 and weight is 1.0kg for SD7 and 1.2kg for SD8.


...I can hardly wait....

These look like some nice lights. Do you know around what price they will be?

Where are you getting this info from? Link please!!

Looks nice, though I'm not sure what my opinions on that body shape is.

Looks pretty good size wise and Polarion so quality should be great.

Humm, another light to the long wish list.

Can you post a comparison pic between these and the PH-50.


Is it just me or have Polarion started to design weird looking lights...
First the info of the dive light leaked and now this..


Sure the quality and workmanship is great,but got damn..who fired the original designer?
:mecry:


I want more High tech looking Polarions...
The PH-50 and the CSWL looks smoking.

I don't know what to make of the design and even more curious how the balance of this light feels in the hand.

From your quote above, I assume this light is completely sealed making battery replacement impossible. I assume then it would have to be sent to the manufacturer for eventual battery replacement. Interesting.

I dig the way it looks. I wish it had longer run times.

When you're done using it for a light you can use it to iron your clothes by the shape of it:shrug:

While I'm not too excited about the design, the function of the light seems practical.

I don't know about you guys, but I want the Evo 3 and Dual X.:devil: I thought my PH50 looked like a weapon, whip that bad boy out and no one will mess with you!

I'd be happy with either one, though. I wonder if Ken knows anything more about the Evo 3...

LOL, that's funny. It does remind of an iron.











The SD7/8 kind of remind me of the X1 without the cylindrical body design behind the head. I think the shape is interesting but I'm not sure what the other attributes of the light are or what Polarion's target market is. The appearance would suggest a much less expensive light as well as the lack of removable battery. I would think this light would have to sell for less that a Xevision but who knows.

The EVO3 is just flat out strange. The handle reminds me of a "done up" disguise as the way an auto manufacturer might dress a new car during prototype testing in an attempt to throw the public for a loop. I just don't know what to make of that design. As far as the 3 stage ballast goes, that's great and it's about freaking time. I'm not sure why it has taken so long to develop multi-staged HID's but it's very welcome.

yuck!

The handle on the dive light also looks way overdone and much taller than it has to be. It seems like Polarion's design trend it so suspend a cylindrical chassis inside of a cage. It's not very appealing and actually looks kind of clunky. By comparison the current PH and X1 series have the look of purpose and precision. If someone told me they were designed by the world's top Formula One racing team, I'd believe them.


At least the Dual X looks nice:

Wow those are definetly god aweful ugly (in my opinion)

I think it looks like a P2 with a slimmed down body/battery pack.

yuck!

lol I guess it doesn't appeal to everyone.:laughing: I personally like the design, I liken it to a giant Batarang!:naughty: Kinda like a medieval weapon. What attracts me to it the most is the 3-stage output. That's killer.

At least the Dual X looks nice:

The body looks identical to the PH40, minus the plastic pieces on the main body tube. I like it.:thumbsup:

I wouldn't read too much into the polarion.co.kr website. Many of those unusual models have been up on the website for the last 2 years and never been seen before in public. I'm guessing they're just prototypes.

One can always dream.:naughty:

 

[cue003]

Some of those designs have been there more than 2 years. most of them are prototypes and have not come to fruition. Some of them were named differently a couple years back but most are the same from years ago.

That's good to know. I was hoping they weren't new

The SD7 & 8 look like the engine nacelles from the Starship Enterprise #1. The Evo-3 is weird - maybe a Klingon attack shuttle or something. The designers have to be Trekkies, lol.
