Description

This bundle pairs Bigblue’s AL1300NPT with a Bigblue protective hard case. You get the full light kit plus a tough case to carry it to the boat, pack it in your dive bag and keep it safe between trips.

The AL1300NPT is the tail-switch version of the AL1300NP. The push button sits on the tail, so one press of the thumb runs every mode. Bigblue calls it a helmet favorite and lists it as a tech backup.

It puts 1300 lumens into a narrow 5° beam, made for exploring tight spaces and signaling your buddy. Four brightness levels run from 1300 down to 130 lumens, with burn times from 2 hours at full power to 20 hours on level I. There’s also an SOS mode, and the push button shows battery level.

Power comes from a rechargeable 18650 Li-ion battery, charged with the included USB charger. The body is anodized aluminum with tempered optical glass and double O-ring sealing, tested to 150 meters.

Bigblue describes the protective case as heavy-duty, durable and built to last, made to keep your AL1300NPT safe on the way to the boat and back home.

Bigblue’s FILREDNP red filter and FDKNP33 FluoroDive kit also fit this light, sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions?

What kind of case is it?

A Bigblue protective hard case, which Bigblue describes as heavy-duty, durable and built to last. It keeps the AL1300NPT safe in your dive bag and between trips.

Is it the same light as the AL1300NPT sold on its own?

Yes. Same 1300 lumens, beam, burn times, battery and charger, and the same box contents as the AL1300NPT on its own. The bundle adds a Bigblue protective hard case.

What’s the difference from the AL1300NP?

The switch. The AL1300NPT’s push button is on the tail, while the AL1300NP’s is on the body. Output, beam, burn times and depth rating are the same. The NPT is a little longer (152.2 mm vs 139.8 mm) and heavier (189 g vs 168 g).
