Description

Bigblue’s Exploration Diving Combo pairs a wide-beam primary with a narrow-beam backup. The VTL4200P delivers a wide, evenly diffused beam, and the AL1300NP a sharp, focused one. Bigblue built the combo to cover most needs for beginners and professionals alike.

The VTL4200P is a dual-beam light made for technical diving and underwater video. Its wide beam puts out 4200 lumens across 120°, with four levels from 420 to 4200 lumens and burn times from 1.5 to 15 hours. Switch to the 6° narrow beam for 1300 lumens with a focused hotspot in low visibility, or use the two red LEDs for 150 lumens of low-impact light. It runs on a BATCELL32650 Li-ion rechargeable battery and is tested to 100 m.

The AL1300NP backup puts 1300 lumens into a razor-narrow 5° beam. Its four levels run 1300, 650, 325 and 130 lumens, plus SOS, for 2 to 20 hours on a rechargeable 18650 battery. It’s tested to 150 m and weighs 168 g.

Both lights use a push button with a battery indicator, so you can check your charge at a glance. Both are anti-corrosive anodized aluminum with tempered optical glass up front.

Want to try fluoro? Bigblue makes FluoroDive kits for both lights, FDK55 for the VTL4200P and FDKNP33 for the AL1300NP, sold separately.
