Description

The AL2900XWPB, called the Black Molly VIIB in Bigblue’s catalog, packs three light colors into one compact video light. Four high-intensity white LEDs deliver 2900 lumens of 6500K light in a 120° wide, even beam. Two red LEDs give 150 lumens of low-impact light for sneaking up on shy subjects, and two blue LEDs give up to 60 lumens of blue for fluorescence and specialty imaging.

White runs on three levels: 2900, 1450 and 725 lumens, for 2, 4 and 8 hours. Blue steps through 60, 30 and 15 lumens. One push button with a battery indicator handles every mode.

It runs on a rechargeable 26650 Li-ion battery and charges with the included USB charger. The anodized aluminum body with tempered optical glass is tested to 100 meters, and the whole light weighs 218 g with the battery.

In the box you get a 1-inch ball joint for mounting to your camera arms, a FILYEL35 yellow filter for a warmer white, a yellow plate, a lanyard and a 3L dry bag.

Bigblue lists it as an Advanced photo and video light, and an excellent choice for recreational photographers and videographers. It’s a good fit if you want to add fluoro night dives without carrying a second light.

Product Features

White, red and blue in one light
Four white LEDs for video, two red LEDs for low-impact light and two blue LEDs for fluorescence. One light covers all three jobs.
120° beam with no hard edges
The wide, even beam suits any underwater camera and leaves no visible edge in the frame, in any color setting, which makes editing easier.
Blue mode for fluoro
Two blue LEDs give 60, 30 or 15 lumens of blue for fluorescence and specialty imaging. A yellow plate comes in the box.
Yellow filter for warmer white
A FILYEL35 yellow filter is included, so you can warm up the white light when the scene calls for it.
Small, light and mountable
At 126.8 mm long and 218 g with battery, it rides easily on a camera arm. A 1-inch ball joint is included.
