Description

The HL1000XW is Bigblue’s rechargeable LED dive head lamp for hands-free diving. Two high-intensity LEDs put 1000 lumens of cool white light into a wide, even 120° beam. Bigblue pitches it for general lighting and as supplemental video light, and says it’s well suited to light work diving such as hull cleaning.

Two red LEDs give a separate 150-lumen red mode, which preserves your night vision.

The white beam has four brightness levels: 100, 250, 500 and 1000 lumens. Burn time is 2 hours at full power, 4 hours on level III, 8 hours on level II and 20 hours on level I. A body-mounted push button with a battery indicator runs everything.

Power comes from a rechargeable 18650 Li-ion battery, charged with the included USB charger. Bigblue suggests 3–4 hours to charge. The light head is aluminum alloy, the body is polycarbonate, the front glass is tempered optical glass, and it’s tested to 100 meters.

It ships on an adjustable head strap that fits most head sizes. For a helmet, Bigblue’s Dive Helmet Head Lamp Mount takes the HL series, sold separately. Bigblue lists the HL1000XW as a Tech primary light.
