Description

The Bigblue VTL9000P-MAX is a rechargeable dual-beam LED dive light for technical diving and underwater video. It keeps the compact VTL9000 body and puts more power into the spot.

The 9° narrow beam reaches 2900 lumens with a focused hotspot that improves visibility in low-visibility conditions, and it dims to 1450 or 725 lumens. The wide beam spreads 9000 lumens across an even 120° angle for video, with levels of 2250, 4500 and 9000 lumens. Six red LEDs add 500 lumens of red for low-impact light.

Power comes from a self-contained BATCELL18650X4 Li-ion rechargeable pack. Bigblue rates burn time at 3 hours on level III, 6 hours on level II and 12 hours on level I. The push-button switch has a battery indicator.

The body is anti-corrosive anodized aluminum with tempered optical glass, tested to 100 m. It’s the same 63 mm by 150.3 mm, 548 g package as the VTL9000P and VTL11000P. A yellow filter (FILYEL63), a soft Goodman glove, a 1-inch ball joint, a lanyard and a 7L dry bag come in the box.
