Description

The Bigblue VTL13500P-MAX is a rechargeable, high-performance dual-beam dive light for professional videographers and technical divers. It’s all about white light, and lots of it.

The wide beam puts out 13,500 lumens in an evenly diffused 120° spread, made for video capture. Switch to the 9° narrow beam for up to 2900 lumens with a focused hotspot that keeps you seeing in low-visibility conditions. The spot also has its own three levels, 725, 1450 and 2900 lumens, so you can dial it to the water you’re in.

The wide beam also has three levels: 3375, 6750 and 13,500 lumens. Burn time is 2.5 hours on the highest level, 5 hours on the middle and 10 hours on the lowest. Power comes from a self-contained BATCELL21700X4 Li-ion rechargeable pack, and the push-button switch has a battery indicator.

There are no built-in color modes. Instead, Bigblue includes a red filter and a yellow filter, and lists the FDK63 Fluorodive kit as an option for fluoro work. The body is anti-corrosive anodized aluminum with tempered optical glass, tested to 100 m. It weighs 686 g in air and ships with a soft Goodman glove, a 1-inch ball joint, a lanyard and a 7L dry bag.
