Description

The CB33000P is Bigblue’s slim warm-white video light. Three high-intensity COB (chip-on-board) LEDs put out 33,000 lumens of 5000K light in a 160° wide, evenly diffused beam. With a color rendering index of Ra 85, colors look natural in your video and stills.

Four white levels (33,000, 16,500, 8250 and 3300 lumens) let you match the light to the scene. Burn time runs from 1.5 hours at full power to 15 hours at level I. A separate red mode from 10 red LEDs gives 1200 lumens of low-impact light for subjects that white light would spook.

Power comes from a BATCELL21700X8 Li-ion rechargeable battery pack. One push-button switch with a battery indicator handles every mode. The body is anodized aluminum with tempered optical glass, tested to 100 meters.

It measures 85 mm across and 144.6 mm long, and weighs 1391 g in air with the battery. A lantern grip handle and a 1-inch ball joint come in the box, so you can hand-hold it or mount it on your arms, plus a PC102A protective case. Bigblue’s AF85 and AF85-LB Ambient filters and GF85 Soft Globe filter are optional add-ons.

Bigblue lists the CB33000P as a Tech photo and video light. Run a pair to cut shadows in your footage. Want blue for fluoro or a remote? See the CB33000PB-RC.

Yes. A 1-inch ball joint and a lantern grip handle are in the box, plus a PC102A protective case.
