Ac Powered Water Leak Detector

I sure enjoy these cute little solar powered lights. I hang them out in my back yard and they sure make a difference. I'm trying to get away from the old motion detector flood lights next to the back door. I get to hang the SoLite bulbs where I need them, easy enough.

I have purchased the Life Saver Bag hoping to lighten my load when I traveled to a location for a shoot. I was going to return it thinking it wasn't going to work well. I am so glad that I kept it. You can use water or sand to fill up the Life Saver. I have chose to use water. I would fill up the life saver at the location and dump the water out afterwards making it easier for me to move it around. If there is no running water at the location, I will fill the Life Saver with water before leaving and put it in to a small plastic box just incase it does decide to leak and then I dump the water out afterwards. So far I had this Life Saver for about a year and have not had it leak on me yet. I use the bag to stabilize my c-stand for my wireless strobe. Couldn't be happier.

Here is the most important thing you will need to know... IT WORKS! Putting your 5D Mark III into a body of water with a $2500 dollar lens and a flash does not feel natural in any way the first time you ease it into the water. But life is life and if it was going to leak I was going to find out the hard way, It did not leak. Humidity packets that came with it got rid of fog. The only tricky thing is that you really need to dial in your settings before getting in there, or use it on full auto. I shoot in Pools in Manual and it worked fine with a bit of going back and adjusting settings again. Direct flash looks terrible underwater as it does above water, so I am still not sure I will use flash again for my underwater needs. Great thing is I can turn flash on and off through the housing anyways so, not a big deal to have there just in case. The plastic does warp your lcd image and makes it look cloudy, the first time I thought everything looked terrible until I took it out of the thick plastic housing. Bottom line, this works, and the company that makes it guarantees your gear in case of manufacturing failure. KEEP YOUR RECEIPT!

I have this being powered from a UniFi US-16 150w POE switch and powering a UniFi AP-AC-Pro access point through the POE pass-through port.

Adapts AC for use in our DC powered Sony A7ii. Very handy for long duration applications.

I have a pair of Powered P.A. System speakers that use IEC cables for AC. With these, I don't need those little short cords attached to the long regular extension cords that I use to run to the speakers. Saves a lot of time making up special extension cables. I only wish they were L shaped, so they wouldn't stick out from the back of the speakers so far.

Useful in garage door openers and battery back-up in ac-powered clock/radios during power outages.

Using the AC Adapter allows me to keep my camera powered and free's up the USB port on the camera to power my mic!

When there is no 110V AC outlet and you need 5 volts power for a USB powered device (like a wireless camera), this solves the problem. I have used these for a few years 24/7/365 and they are reliable, so I recently bought a few more.

I use it to backup my data on my PC. I like that it is bus powered and doesn't need AC power. I also like its built-in software.
