I've dived for years and although this is a great idea, red light is filtered out first by water at depth and would appear white, rather than using a specific color, and especially red I would suggest they use a strobe light to indicate emergency as this is always visible.
it seems that this is more tailored to tourism and learning for diving. Place were likely depths are never ventured. Apparently they licenced it though and are making happy money from it. So no doubt other divers may have brought what you said up and somebody has adapted it for more professional diving.
That shouldn't be too big of a problem as the LED is its own light source. Colors only fade under water due to less light of certain wavelengths being able to penetrate from the surface. It might become a problem at distance though, but I guess you will not be far aware from other divers in the presented usecase.
they shouldn't have been so this is our last resort, desperation. the crying and pity doesn't work as well as confidence and determination, even if you have to fake it. at least things worked out for them from what I've read.
@Harry Smith No "smart" investor, presumably all of the dragons and every other smart investor, invests in desperation. Your honest desperation might get you a shift at McDonald's... Godspeed bro 👍
He mentioned that they had an offer to buy the patents, but they refused to sell without knowing the offer. After everything they've gone through, they are bark raving mad.
Well they already gave there reason they wanted to make sure anyone making the device was making well made ones that will work. (Which is obviously important on life saving equipment) they obviously believed whether rightly or wrongly they would need to be involved for that too become a reality.
Yeah its a shame, the offer was only for 838 million £s anyway. If only they opened the letter. Better hold this patent for longer its going to moon someday
Agreed with all their stress, medical issues, limitations.. why add to that in running a company or growing a business with all its challenges? Can enjoy retirement on a decent income from licensing or selling the patent
I disagree xD I love being able to watch every episode in full start to finish every lunchtime and knowing what I've watched etc, if it was a stream I'd always tune in midway and then leave
SaiyanAndre to be fair the episodes aren’t long and I often have watched most of them anyway, and have to search through the channel after only 8/10 mins, a constant livestream would solve that, not changing regular vids tho obvs

Guy goes in with what is literally a bright idea lightbulb that could even save lives and they disregard their mental problems and anguish. Dragons den is empathy headquarters..
Two older people detail their disabilities and open heart surgeries and claim to be strapped for cash. Why the hell would anyone want to throw them money if they're likely not going to be healthy enough to run the business? Honesty to a fault.
I have to ask myself what their real motivation was....saving lives or making money? They could easily have licenced the product or sold the patent, they would have succeeded in both.
Probably attached to expectations of it working out in the way they envisaged and added pressure on themselves that made them worse rather than better at the job.
Part of diving is learning to be responsible for monitoring your own air supply. The guide/instructor should be asking new divers to check their supply every few minutes and this is key to instilling this habit. My worry with this is that lazy instructors would just turn around, see a flashing light and think all was well, or looking around seeing it flashing red and thinking, OK time to turn around. A responsible instructor/guide at that level should know exactly how much air everyone has left in their tanks.
Seems that they succeeded despite the show, but wow what an exhausting emotional couple. I'm kind of immune to emotion, being that I'm an emotionally bankrupt sociopath...this couple would drive me insane!!!
Thank goodness this worked out for them, and great to see a clip that added value to the entrepreneur rather than score silly points off them (with the exception of Evan's incredibly distasteful commentary). I'm glad this worked out, but to be in that position and take a 200k risk on a new product, self-funded, facing massive health issues and then deny initial licensing opportunities is pure madness.
How do you get to that? The way I see it is, they have life saving design that they aren't letting save lifes cause they aren't making money off of it.
I got an ad for look after my bills halfway through with jenny in it! Even though she isn’t here, she still is holding onto the one investment she made. And even then she didn’t really make a deal
As a professional diver myself I wouldn't call that a safety device. You rely on your buddy/instructor/dive leader to keep track of your air supply instead of checking it yourself, and that's not a good practice. It also doesn't tell you how much air is left. When I ask my divers how much air they have I remind them to check their gauges and it gives me a chance to properly plan and adjust the dive. A blinking light doesn't give me the information I need to give my diver a nice experience. If I worked for a dive operation that used these I would 1. most likely be back at the surface before it started blinking red. 2. spend the entire dive staring at my divers' lights and no time guiding and looking for marine life (i.e. my job).
Shut your mouth. Know-it-all. Experienced people in niche markets always tend to be jealous of others thay actually do something to make the branch you’re active in better. You invent something, instead of spuwing your useless critique on this.
Fully agree. The yearly BSAC incident report doesn't support the fatality numbers they quote. I’d not be interested in diving with anyone needing this product.
Sun Tzu is so overrated, I am not sure he said it like that anyway. Sometimes emotions can drive a person, there story was quite sad and painful, both health and financial pain, she just overloaded having to bring it all back in front of others, and last of all they became very rich, took the advice and license the product worldwide, Sun Tzu kiss their ass.
I'm no engineer, but surely an existing tank would need to be reconfigured to fit this device. The only market they have is the manufacturers, and maybe they found flaws in the device or weren't interested.
Most budget first stages, and let’s be honest, that’s what dive schools and inexperienced divers will be buying only have one high pressure outlet in the first stage and that’s for the contents gauge. You need to spend more for more hp ports. It’s easy to get a pass through connection but that adds vulnerability to the device. When kit gets hauled into a RHIB or manhandled on a hard boat I’d be concerned about the integrity of the connection and believe me, you do not want a ruptured high pressure connection at 35m.
As much empathy I have for them, this is not the way to go to get investment. I'm not judging. I know I can get emotional at times. I just wished it was handled better, for their own good. Godspeed.
They are clearly bad business people. They went in saying they've blown through £200k, they're desperate and out of money, they've lost their other businesses and investments, they're sick and injured and mentally ill, they've made no sales, AND they've turned down an offer to sell the patent from a huge company. I wouldn't have invested either.
@Melanie D Yeah but that someone didn't get the whole picture. Their business got some traction for a while after their appearance on DD, but got shut down soon after. Their website www.lignlight.com/ has been down for years now.
100% they should license to an existing company and collect royalties on every one sold. They should have done that from the start without going the patent route frankly.
I wonder if there could also be a wrist part with the lights. Water absorbs radio but it should be possible to have something that can successfully transmit under ten feet. A wire could get tangled.
Product is good, the couple is not. Remember that these dragons are supposed to be guiding the entrepreneurs, not running the business for them. The entrepreneurs need to have the ability to run things competently in order for investors to be able to get their money back. This couple does not inspire confidence in their leadership.
The Man screwed up by bringing his emotional wreck partner into a business setting. Even if the idea was good, which didn't seem to be the case, the chance of someone wanting to be involved in the project drops dramatically if you have to deal with family tragedies and emotional instability on top. Nobody wants to pay for those things to enter their lives.
They have a great little invention, but a big part of investing are the people themselves, if your only experience in negotiations involves begging for pity or passively standing there like you're watching a cat video you're just sending the wrong message
What a lovely couple. Despite the terribly difficult times they’ve had to get through, they’ve stuck together and supported each other. I really hope they were able to capitalize on this great idea and achieve some financial security.
Sometimes I see people on this show and I think, "haven't these people ever seen Dragons Den"? Before you go on a show like this to meet an investor surely you'd want to learn some basic do's and don'ts. Like desperation being a huge turn off for investors as they know that the entrepreneurs energy is a big factor for a businesses success. Hopefully they have passed this onto someone else and can live off of the royalties. Good luck to them.
Heart-felt encouragement doesn't pay their bills....this is just another example of an inventor who failed to find the right business partner. Dude, should take off the earring and make himself vulnerable to be a success.
While I feel bad for them, personally; I think they made poor business decisions. & I'm kinda stuck on the 2nd biggest diving gear company offering to buy their patents, & they didn't even want to know how much they were offering for them, & just turned them down. Surely things like that can be negotiated, they sound like they've never had advice from a lawyer, or anybody, really.
@@bakersmileyface Absolutely, they got an offer for the patents and turned it down without even finding out how much they'd get for them....now struggle to pay for the patents. They're very likeable but not very investable.
Not really but sort of. He knows what it's like to be in the lower end of the lower class, but not what it's like to have nothing. His family were not wealthy but they weren't broke. He never was left without essentials, but couldn't afford luxuries. If you get what I mean.

I've dived for years and although this is a great idea, red light is filtered out first by water at depth and would appear white, rather than using a specific color, and especially red I would suggest they use a strobe light to indicate emergency as this is always visible.
Electric shock
it seems that this is more tailored to tourism and learning for diving. Place were likely depths are never ventured. Apparently they licenced it though and are making happy money from it. So no doubt other divers may have brought what you said up and somebody has adapted it for more professional diving.

There is a video showing that flourescent materials and LEDs are not affected much by depth
I would think it would appear black at depth, I remember cutting myself while diving and my blood appeared bĺack..

I knew all the dragons will be out as soon as she started talking about their health problems
Honestly I think it was when they turned down an offer from 'the second biggest diving company' without even asking how much they were offering!
Many tanks for that.
Heart-felt encouragement doesn't pay their bills....this is just another example of an inventor who failed to find the right business partner. Dude, should take off the earring and make himself vulnerable to be a success.
What happened to this? Anybody got any updates?
Or, look at your diving gauge to see how much air you have and always follow Rule#2, always dive with a buddy
Does anyone know what happened to their invention? It’s pretty good.
While I feel bad for them, personally; I think they made poor business decisions. & I'm kinda stuck on the 2nd biggest diving gear company offering to buy their patents, & they didn't even want to know how much they were offering for them, & just turned them down. Surely things like that can be negotiated, they sound like they've never had advice from a lawyer, or anybody, really.
Or didnt heed advice 🤷🏽♀️. The wife walking out of an opportunity/chance in the den says it all
@@kimdaisies2660 I agree, and yes, it does.
☺👍
Why not ask how much the buyer wants for the patent.
Tej should have been on this episode. He most likely would have invested.
I think this was a BAD decision on the Dragon’s part not to invest.😢
I don't. The idea was good, but that couple was not investable at all. They don't seem stable enough or competent enough to pull it off.
@@bakersmileyface Absolutely, they got an offer for the patents and turned it down without even finding out how much they'd get for them....now struggle to pay for the patents. They're very likeable but not very investable.
I've owned two businesses in my day and I sternly adopted the old adage, 'never let your heart rule your head!'
I would have invested! A saving life device for divers worldwide would sell like hot potatoes! Peter should have invested.
Does Peter really know what it's like to have nothing??
Not really but sort of. He knows what it's like to be in the lower end of the lower class, but not what it's like to have nothing.
His family were not wealthy but they weren't broke. He never was left without essentials, but couldn't afford luxuries. If you get what I mean.
What he means when he says that, is he knows what it’s like to lose everything. To start from ground zero again.
If I were a dragon with a team of people to work on this, I'd have offered to buy 90% for the money and dropped down to 30% when I doubled my money.
