Description

The VL4600PB is Bigblue’s compact video light in red, white and blue. Six high-intensity LEDs put out 4600 lumens of 6500K white in a 120° wide, even beam. Four red LEDs give 300 lumens of low-impact light for shy subjects, and four blue LEDs give 30, 60 or 120 lumens of blue to bring out fluorescence in corals and fish.

White runs on three levels: 4600, 2300 and 1150 lumens, for 1.5, 3 and 6 hours. One push button with a battery indicator handles every mode.

It runs on a rechargeable BATCELL32650 Li-ion battery and charges with the included USB charger, which also takes 18650 and 26650 cells. Bigblue suggests 7–8 hours for a full charge. The anodized aluminum body with tempered optical glass is tested to 100 meters and weighs 318 g with the battery.

In the box you get a 1-inch ball joint, a soft Goodman glove, a FILYEL44 yellow filter for warmer white, a yellow plate that attaches to your mask for fluoro diving, a lanyard and a 5L dry bag.

Bigblue lists the VL4600PB as an Advanced photo and video light for recreational videographers and photographers. It’s a good fit if you want fluoro night dives and daytime video from one compact light.
