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.

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.
