Description

The AL1800WP is a compact wide-beam light for photo and video. It spreads 1800 lumens across an 85° beam, and Bigblue calls it snoot ready and ideal for macro. Bigblue lists it as an Advanced photo/video light.

It comes ready to shoot. A red filter (FILRED35), a yellow filter (FILYEL35) and a 1-inch ball joint are in the box, along with the battery, USB charger, lanyard and a 3L dry bag.

Four brightness levels run from 1800 down to 180 lumens, with burn times from 1.5 hours at full power to 15 hours on level I. There’s also an SOS mode. A body-mounted push button with a battery indicator runs everything.

It runs on a rechargeable 26650 Li-ion battery. Bigblue suggests 5–6 hours to charge. The body is anodized aluminum with a convex lens, tested to 100 meters, and it weighs 228 g with the battery.

The AL1800WP is part of Bigblue’s Type II modular family, so an AL1800NP-II head turns it into a 5° narrow-beam light on the same battery. For macro and fluoro, Bigblue makes the SNOOT35 snoot connector and the FDK35 FluoroDive kit. It also lists its Easy Release series and Pistol Grip Handle. All sold separately.

Choose Classic Black or duo-tone Gunmetal/Red.

A red filter (FILRED35), a yellow filter (FILYEL35) and a 1-inch ball joint, plus the battery, USB charger, lanyard and a 3L dry bag.

Does it take a snoot?

Yes. Bigblue calls it snoot ready. The SNOOT35 snoot connector is sold separately.

How long does it take to charge?
