Description

The Bigblue VTL4200P is a rechargeable dual-beam dive light built for technical diving and underwater video. Bigblue calls it its ultra popular solution, and it’s easy to see why: one compact light covers video, navigation and shot setup.

The wide beam puts out 4200 lumens spread evenly across 120°. That’s the beam you want for video, with smooth coverage across the frame. Switch to the 6° narrow beam and you get 1300 lumens with a focused hotspot that holds up when the visibility drops. Two red LEDs add a 150-lumen red mode for low-impact light, handy when you’re closing in on a subject or framing a shot.

The wide beam has four levels: 420, 1050, 2100 and 4200 lumens. Burn time runs from 1.5 hours on the highest level to 15 hours on the lowest. Power comes from a self-contained BATCELL32650 Li-ion rechargeable battery, and the push-button switch has a battery indicator so you can check your charge at a glance.

The body is anti-corrosive anodized aluminum with tempered optical glass up front, tested to 100 m. At 432 g in air, it rides comfortably on the soft Goodman glove or on a 1-inch ball joint. Both are in the box, along with a yellow filter, lanyard and a 5L dry bag.

Product Features

Wide and spot in one head
A 4200-lumen, 120° wide beam gives even light for video. Switch to the 1300-lumen, 6° spot when you need a focused hotspot in low visibility.
Red mode for low-impact light
Two red LEDs put out 150 lumens. Use it to approach subjects and set up shots without hitting them with full white light.
Four power levels
The wide beam steps from 420 to 4200 lumens. Run 1.5 hours flat out, or stretch it to 15 hours on the lowest level.
Battery indicator on the switch
The push-button switch shows battery status, so you can check your charge at a glance before you splash.
Compact and rig-ready
At 55.5 mm across and 432 g in air, it’s easy to carry. The included soft Goodman glove and 1-inch ball joint let you hand-hold it or mount it on a rig.
