Description

The TL5200P Backmount is the canister version of Bigblue’s TL5200P technical light. The head puts 5200 lumens into a tight 7° beam for maximum penetration, with a smooth peripheral spill so you still see what’s around you. Bigblue lists it as a Tech primary light.

Moving the battery into a canister is what changes the dive. The BATCELLCANISTER Li-ion pack runs the light for 7 hours at 5200 lumens, 14 hours at 2600, 28 hours at 1300 and 70 hours at 520 lumens. The handheld TL5200P gives you 2 to 20 hours.

This is the backmount version. The canister measures 60 x 202 mm, weighs 975 g with the battery and connects to the head with a 1.2 m cable, set up for divers on a backmount rig. The sidemount version uses a 212 mm canister and a 1.35 m cable. Head, output and burn times are the same.

The light head is small: 72 x 88.3 mm and 380 g. One push-button switch with a battery indicator steps through all four levels. The Adjustable Goodman Handle in the box lets you wear the head on the back of your hand and keep both hands free.

Head and canister are anodized aluminum alloy with tempered optical glass, tested to 150 meters. A charger and a PC103A protective case are included.
