Fantasea Radiant 2500 U/W Video Lights Now Available
Fantasea have announced the release of the Radiant 2500 and Radiant Pro 2500 – durable and powerful video lights, which offer a variety of quality lighting options for enhancing colour and light in underwater videos and still images.
Featuring an ergonomic design and durable construction, these lights can be comfortably integrated into any underwater photo system, such as with action cams, amphibious cameras, compact digital housings and more.
A battery power indicator light around the power switch enables easy monitoring of the battery power. Colour temperature of the beam is warm and assists with producing vivid and colorful videos and still images without having to use any colour correction filters. Adjustable power output allows controlling the intensity of the beam in various compositions and diving conditions, as well as extending the burn time of the light (batteries will provide power for a considerably longer time when the light is set at lower intensity settings such as 50% or 25%).
Depth rated to 100 meters/330 feet, the Radiant 2500 and Radiant Pro 2500 fulfill the needs of both recreational and technical divers.
Radiant Pro 2500 Video Light
The Radiant Pro 2500 makes use of 12 powerful LEDs, which provide an ultra bright, wide and even beam. The light offers a variety of operation modes, which make the light suitable to light a wide range of classic and creative compositions. Operation modes include wide angle white light (120 degrees), narrow angle white light (15 degrees), red light, Ultra Violet (UV) & Blue light and two flashing modes (white and red) that can serve for signaling / SOS purposes. In the flashing modes the light can provide up to 8 hours of burn time (assuming the batteries are fully charged). Finally, a “memory” function will return the light to the same setting as previously used before the light was last turned off.
