Description

The AL1300STRB (Bigblue’s catalog calls it the AL1300STRB) is a rechargeable LED dive strobe. Bigblue calls it a great safety light. It flashes 1300 lumens 60 times a minute through a wide 270° beam, built for maximum visibility and for safety and communication underwater.

A full charge gives up to 12 hours of strobe. It runs on a rechargeable 18650 Li-ion battery, charged with the included USB charger. Bigblue suggests 3–4 hours to charge.

A body-mounted push button with a battery indicator runs it. The body is anodized aluminum, tested to 150 meters, and it weighs 170 g with the battery. Bigblue lists it as a Tech backup.

It’s part of Bigblue’s Type I modular family. That means the same body and battery also take Type I light heads such as the AL1300NP narrow beam or the AL1300WP wide beam, so one strobe can become a dive light too. Heads are sold separately.

To mount it, Bigblue lists its NP Ball Joint Connector, a clip with a 1-inch ball joint, sold separately.

How long will it flash on one charge?

Up to 12 hours, according to Bigblue.

Can I use it as a regular dive light?

Bigblue lists its NP Ball Joint Connector, a clip with a 1-inch ball joint, as the mount for this strobe.
