Description

The Bigblue VTL2900PB is a compact rechargeable dual-beam dive light for technical diving and underwater video, with blue built in for specialty imaging. Bigblue calls it the compact all-in-one, the VTL’s little brother.

The wide beam puts out 2900 lumens in an even 100° white beam. Switch to the 8° narrow beam for 1000 lumens with a focused hotspot that improves visibility in low-visibility conditions. Two red LEDs give 100 lumens of red, and two blue LEDs give 10, 20 or 40 lumens of blue. A yellow filter (FILYEL44) and a yellow plate come in the box. Bigblue makes the plate from yellow filter material to bring out coral fluorescence, so you can photograph and film what you see.

White light has three levels: 725, 1450 and 2900 lumens. Burn time is 1.5 hours on the highest level, 3 hours on the middle and 6 hours on the lowest. Power comes from a self-contained BATCELL32650 Li-ion rechargeable battery with a USB charger in the box, and the push-button switch has a battery indicator.

The body is anti-corrosive anodized aluminum with tempered optical glass, tested to 100 m. It weighs 339 g in air and ships with a soft Goodman glove, a 1-inch ball joint, a lanyard and a 5L dry bag.

Frequently Asked Questions?

What is the blue mode for?

Fluoro diving and specialty imaging. Two blue LEDs give 10, 20 or 40 lumens, and Bigblue includes a yellow filter (FILYEL44) and a yellow plate in the box.

What is the yellow plate?

Bigblue makes it from yellow filter material to enhance coral fluorescence, so you can photograph and film exactly what you see.

How is it different from the VTL2900P?

The VTL2900PB adds two blue LEDs and a yellow plate. Its white wide beam has three levels (725 to 2900 lumens) instead of four, and burn time is 1.5 to 6 hours. Spot, red, body, battery and weight are the same.

How do I charge it?

The BATCELL32650 battery charges with the USB charger that comes in the box. Spare BATCELL32650 batteries are under Add-ons. Bigblue suggests 7–8 hours for a full charge of the BATCELL32650.

How deep is it rated?

Bigblue tests it to 100 m (328 ft).
