Description

The VL65000P is Bigblue’s ultra-performance video light for technical dives and pro video work. Its 72 high-intensity LEDs put out 65,000 lumens of 6500K white in a 160° wide, evenly diffused beam, so big scenes light up smoothly with no hard edge in the frame.

Four white levels (65,000, 32,500, 16,250 and 6500 lumens) let you match the light to the scene. Burn time runs from 1.5 hours at full power to 15 hours at level I. A separate red mode from 20 red LEDs gives 2000 lumens of low-impact light for subjects that white light would spook.

Power comes from two self-contained BATCELL60000 Li-ion packs, so there’s no canister or cable to manage. One push-button switch with a battery indicator handles every mode. The body is anodized aluminum with tempered optical glass, tested to 100 meters.

This is a large light: 120 mm across, 240 mm long and 3766 g in air with the batteries. It comes with a custom-made handle and a 1-inch ball joint for mounting on your rig, plus a PC105A protective case for travel.

Bigblue lists the VL65000P as a Tech photo and video light. Run a pair, one on each arm, to cut shadows in your footage.
