Keldan announces the LUNA 4X video Light
Swiss-based compact light manufacturer Keldan have announced the LUNA 4X 6,000 Lumen video light. Upgrades from the product’s predecessor include an increased output of 50%, a 110° beam angle, and a colour rendering index of 82.
Here are the technical specifications for the LUNA 4X:
- 6,000 Lumen Output.
- 110 Degrees of Usable Beam Angle in Water (90 Deg using FWHM Standard).
- 82 CRI.
- 5000K Color Temp.
- 200m Depth Rating.
- 45 min Burn Time at 6,000 Lumen, 180 min Burn Time at 1,700 Lumen.
- Extreme Efficiency from Custom Reflector and Dome Lens.
- Magnetic Power Switch.
- Intelligent Lithium Ion Battery with LED Status Indicator.
Beam angle in water when measured using the FWHM standard of 50% intensity is 90 degrees; however, that doesn’t accurately represent the beam pattern of this light. The usable beam angle is much wider thanks to a very even and gradual edge fall off. Battery packs can be easily changed in the field, supporting long shooting days, and an LED charge indicator provides battery info at a glance.
Thanks to its compact form factor, the light is perfectly matched in size with mirrorless interchangeable lens systems, DSLR cameras, and camcorders. The ultra wide lenses utilized by these systems demand a wide, smooth beam angle, and LUNA 4X delivers. LUNA 4X achieves remarkably accurate colour rendition thanks to its even spectral distribution.
The LUNA 4X is available now from Keldan dealers worldwide. For more information, visit the Keldan lights website: www.keldanlights.com.

Dive Worldwide Announces Bite-Back as its Charity of the Year
Over the next 12 months, specialist scuba holiday company Dive Worldwide will be supporting Bite-Back Shark & Marine Conservation with donations collected from client bookings to any one of its stunning dive destinations around the world. The independently-owned operator expects to raise £3000 for the UK charity.
Manager at Dive Worldwide, Phil North, said: “We’re especially excited to work with Bite-Back and support its intelligent, creative and results-driven campaigns to end the UK trade in shark products and prompt a change in attitudes to the ocean’s most maligned inhabitant.”
Bite-Back is running campaigns to hold the media to account on the way it reports shark news along with a brand new nationwide education programme. Last year the charity was credited for spearheading a UK ban on the import and export of shark fins.
Campaign director at Bite-Back, Graham Buckingham, said: “We’re enormously grateful to Dive Worldwide for choosing to support Bite-Back. The company’s commitment to conservation helps set it apart from other tour operators and we’re certain its clients admire and respect that policy. For us, the affiliation is huge and helps us look to the future with confidence we can deliver against key conservation programmes.”
To launch the fundraising initiative, Phil North presented Graham Buckingham with a cheque for £1,000.
Visit Dive Worldwide to discover its diverse range of international scuba adventures and visit Bite-Back to learn more about the charity’s campaigns.
