I know I should not really be surprised, but I am surprised in the amount of attention this device has received. You’ve got to see it for yourself and you’ll understand why. I would like to apologies for the delayed response. Please see attached questions and answers.
a 'use once' device I think?
Yes it is a single use unit. Same as any other unit once u used it, it needs replacing. Different models for longer durations 25s, 50s, & 100s units are available.
Any way to re-fill, or is it a toss and get another?
Unfortunately you cannot refill it. Once it has been used it need replacing.
And is that a delivered, bulk-order price?
The current price is the best price we could negotiate on and it includes delivery cost. The only way we can get the price down is when we start ordering 1000’s. We had a good look around in the current market and the price is at least a third cheaper. Please note that the current price will go up once we expand our advertising but we will keep this price for the forum as long as we can without upsetting other parties.
How many would we have to buy as a group to get that price down a bit?
As above. We’ve tried to get the best price possible to introduce this to the UK market. We are constantly negotiating with the supplier on price, but I do not think there will be much movement on it at this stage.
What's the shelf-life?
All units have 5 year guarantee. The shelf life is unlimited.
If I'm not mistaken these specific ones even come with a nifty plastic carry case for storage... Daniel911..?
There is an additional mounting bracket sold separately for easy and secure fitment.
Ductape. Just because you asked we will through that in for free on the first orders
Do these conform to an BSxxxx standards?
I see most of you have had a look at the various websites and certifications of this product online. This product does have worldwide certifications like, CE (European), RINA (marine), SAMSA (South Africa only), but these are all aimed at the marine and boating market. Please bear in mind this is product have only recently become commercially available and if you’ve ever tried to deal with a government institution, you’ll know these things takes time and a lot of effort to get into place. Since we have acquired the sole UK importation rights we are currently in discussions with the manufacturer, the British Standards Institute (BSIkite mark), British Approvals for Fire Equipment (BAFE) and the Loss Prevention Certifications Board (LPCB) for UK specific certification.
Anyway, is this being imported and sold by yourself Daniel?
Tony. I’m a stakeholder in a company set up for the importation of this device. If all goes according to plan we will be supply only. (In the long run). For time being we will be supplying and selling. We are currently looking at a stand at the 4x4 Indoor show to officially launch this product to the UK market. (Please do not mention the forum price at the show as we would like to keep this introductory offer for its members only)
Have you done any testing with it?
Our own samples only arrived today. We’ve only seen testing performed by the manufacturer and their respective certification bodies. If you have a specific LR in mind we could arrange for a test drive as we’ll be sure to eventually have to use the extinguisher…
Might be worth while running a demo with a few of these at the next Lincomb event
Booked. We will make sure we bring a couple with us to play with. “ The one who get stuck the most will wear the blue suit like in the demo video!!”
Order and Payment.
I’ll complete a list of member who would like to order. If you can confirm by the end of next week, as this is when we would like to get our first order placed. Once confirmed I’ll PM you the bank details. Please note: Orders will only be placed after payment has been received.
If you have any other question please do not hesitate to contact me.
