Description

The VL15000PB-RC PLUS Premium Pack puts Bigblue’s VL15000PBRC+ video light together with the Fibre Link remote controller and an optical fiber cable, so it’s ready to run from your rig on day one.

The controller is a compact electronic switch that mounts on your rig handle. It links to the light by optical fiber and lets you switch the light on and off and change settings without moving your hands while you shoot. Bigblue says one controller can run up to two lights, so add a second RC-ready light and fiber to run a pair.

The light puts out 15,000 lumens of 6500K white from 15 high-intensity LEDs in a 120° wide, evenly diffused beam. White runs on three levels (15,000, 7500 and 3750 lumens) for 2.5, 5 and 10 hours. Six red LEDs give 500 lumens of low-impact light. Eight blue LEDs give 280, 140 or 70 lumens for fluoro, and a yellow plate and a FILYEL63 yellow filter are included.

Power comes from a self-contained BATCELL21700X4 Li-ion pack, with a push-button switch and battery indicator. The anodized aluminum body is 63 mm across, weighs 632 g in air, is tested to 100 meters and takes Bigblue’s Type VII modular heads. A soft Goodman glove, a 1-inch ball joint, a lanyard and a 7L outdoor dry bag round out the pack.

Product Features

Remote kit in the pack
The Fibre Link controller mounts on your rig handle and links by optical fiber. Switch on and off and change settings without moving your hands.
One controller, two lights
Bigblue says one controller can run up to two lights, so a pair on your arms can share the same remote.
Red and blue built in
Six red LEDs give 500 lumens for shy subjects. Eight blue LEDs give up to 280 lumens for fluoro dives.
Fluoro gear in the box
A yellow plate and a FILYEL63 yellow filter come with the light. The plate is made of yellow filter material that enhances coral fluorescence.
Soft Goodman glove included
Wear the light on the back of your hand with the soft Goodman glove, or mount it on an arm with the 1-inch ball joint. Both are in the box.
Swappable Type VII head
The VL15000 lights are part of Bigblue’s Type VII modular family: heads and bodies swap within the type, so one body and battery can take another Type VII head.

Yes. Bigblue says one controller can run up to two lights. Each light needs its own optical fiber; Bigblue sells them in 1 m and 2 m lengths.

Does it work for fluoro?

Yes. Eight blue LEDs give up to 280 lumens of blue, and the pack includes a yellow plate and a FILYEL63 yellow filter.
