Long Description

Powerful Dual-Beam Lighting for Underwater Photography and Diving

The Bigblue VTL2600P 2600-Lumen Dual-Beam Underwater Light combines two useful lighting styles in one compact, rechargeable dive light. Its wide 2600-lumen, 100° beam is designed for underwater video and broad subject illumination, while the concentrated 1000-lumen, 10° beam provides focused light for diving and observation.

A separate 100-lumen red light mode adds another option for underwater photographers and videographers preparing their shots.

Whether you're filming reef scenery, exploring during a night dive, or looking for a versatile primary dive light, the VTL2600P helps reduce the need to carry separate wide-beam and narrow-beam lights.

Designed for Underwater Photography and Video

Lighting plays a major role in underwater image quality. Water absorbs light and color, making subjects appear darker and less vibrant as depth increases.

The VTL2600P provides adjustable illumination to help reveal subject details and improve visibility during underwater shooting.

Its dual-beam configuration supports several applications:

• Underwater video: Use the 2600-lumen wide beam to illuminate marine life, reef details, and nearby underwater subjects.

• Wide-angle shooting: The 100° beam provides broad coverage for video compositions, especially at close shooting distances.

• Macro photography: Position the light to illuminate small subjects, assist composition, and support compatible camera autofocus systems.

• Night diving: Switch to the narrow 10° beam for focused underwater navigation and observation.

• Marine-life observation: Select the wide, narrow, or red mode according to the subject and shooting conditions.

Two Beams in One Compact Light

The VTL2600P is part of Bigblue's versatile VTL lighting series, designed to combine video and dive-light functionality.

2600-Lumen Wide Beam – For Underwater Video

The wide-beam mode delivers up to 2600 lumens across a 100° beam angle.

This configuration is especially useful for illuminating nearby subjects while recording underwater video. Its broad coverage helps reduce the need for constant repositioning when filming moving marine life.

For wider scenes or more even illumination, photographers may choose to use two compatible video lights on a dual-arm camera system.

1000-Lumen Narrow Beam – For Focused Illumination

Switch to the 1000-lumen, 10° narrow beam when you need a more concentrated light source.

The narrow beam is useful for identifying subjects, inspecting reef structures, and general dive-light applications where directional illumination is preferable to broad video lighting.

Having both beams in the same housing makes the VTL2600P a practical option for divers who want one light to perform multiple roles.

Dedicated 100-Lumen Red Light Mode

The VTL2600P also includes a 100-lumen red light mode.

Red illumination can be useful when preparing underwater photography or video compositions and when a less conspicuous lighting option is preferred.

The response of marine animals to red light varies by species, so it should not be assumed that red illumination is invisible or non-disruptive to all marine life.

Adjustable Brightness and Runtime

The VTL2600P provides four specified brightness levels, allowing divers to balance illumination and battery life.

These operating times provide flexibility for different shooting conditions. Maximum brightness is useful when stronger illumination is needed, while lower settings can extend battery life during longer dives or when filming close subjects.

Actual runtime may vary with battery condition, temperature, and operating conditions.

Rechargeable Power for Travel and Diving

The VTL2600P uses a rechargeable BATCELL 32650 lithium-ion battery, eliminating the need for disposable batteries during regular operation.

Its rechargeable design is especially convenient for underwater photographers traveling between dive destinations or making multiple dives throughout the day.

Always use the manufacturer-approved charging equipment and follow the battery charging and storage instructions.

Compact Anodized Aluminum Construction

The VTL2600P features an anodized aluminum alloy housing designed for underwater use.

With dimensions of just 44 mm in diameter and 128.7 mm in length, it offers substantial lighting capability in a relatively compact form.

The light has a specified underwater buoyancy of -177 g with the battery installed, meaning it is negatively buoyant and will contribute some additional underwater weight to your setup.

Available finishes include Glossy Black, Glossy Blue, and Glossy Pink.

Mozaik Tip — Position Your Video Light to Reduce Backscatter

Underwater lights can illuminate suspended particles between your camera and subject, creating distracting bright spots known as backscatter.

To help reduce this effect, position the light slightly away from the camera lens and angle the beam toward the subject rather than pointing it directly through the water in front of the camera.

For macro subjects, lower brightness settings may provide better control over highlights and exposure.

For wider video scenes, using two lights positioned on separate arms can help produce more balanced illumination.

No-Guesswork Compatibility Guidance

The Bigblue VTL2600P is a standalone underwater lighting system suitable for handheld diving applications and compatible underwater camera lighting configurations.

Before adding it to a camera tray or arm system, verify the mounting accessory required for your specific setup.

Important considerations:

• Camera compatibility: As a continuous light, it can illuminate subjects for different underwater camera systems; it does not require electronic camera synchronization.

• Mounting compatibility: Confirm the appropriate mounting hardware for your tray, arm, or handle system.

• Battery compatibility: Uses the specified rechargeable BATCELL 32650 lithium-ion battery.

• Lighting application: The wide beam is intended for video illumination, while the narrow beam serves as a focused dive light.

• Strobe replacement: Continuous video lighting is not equivalent to the short, high-intensity flash output of an underwater photographic strobe.

Technical Specifications

Who Is This Light Best For?

The Bigblue VTL2600P is particularly well suited for:

• Beginner underwater videographers who want a versatile continuous light without purchasing separate wide and narrow dive lights.

• Recreational scuba divers who want a rechargeable light for general diving and occasional underwater video.

• Action camera users looking for supplemental illumination for close-range underwater footage.

• Macro photographers who want adjustable continuous lighting for subject observation and composition.

• Night divers who value a focused narrow beam and an alternative red light mode.

• Traveling divers who prefer compact, multipurpose underwater equipment.
