Description

The Bigblue VTL7000P-MAX EOS23 Backmount is a dual-beam canister light for technical diving and underwater video. It’s a complete system: the light head, the EOS23 battery canister and a single (EOS) cord between them.

The wide beam puts out up to 7000 lumens across 120°. The 10° spot gives up to 2900 lumens with a focused hotspot for low visibility. Each beam has three levels: 1750, 3500 and 7000 lumens wide, and 725, 1450 and 2900 lumens on the spot. Four red LEDs add a 500-lumen red mode for low-impact light.

The EOS23 canister runs on three removable BATCELLEOCANISTER rechargeable cells. Bigblue rates burn time at 8 hours on level III, 16 hours on level II and 32 hours on level I. A full charge takes 5 to 6 hours. The cord is 1.3 m long. The canister has a mechanical on/off switch.

This is the Backmount version, for divers who carry the canister on a backmount rig. A Sidemount version is also available. It comes with an adjustable Goodman handle, a 1-inch ball mount, a removable yellow filter and a protective case. The housing is anodized aluminum, tested to 150 m. Choose black, blue or pink.
