VTL3800 P
Looking for the ultimate primary light? Then this is the light for you! Between the high lumen output and the wide beam angle, this light will help you see on even the darkest and cloudiest of nights! It features multiple high lumen outputs and long burn times (3,800 lumens/1.5 hrs, 1,900 lumens/3hrs, 950 lumens/6 hrs, 380 lumens/15 hrs) as well as a special narrow beam mode! This light is primarily used as a high lumen wide beam light (utilizing its 120° beam angle, press the power button once to cycle through light intensities) but it can also be switched to a lower intensity narrow beam for getting other divers attention or signalling. Simply press and hold the power button for 2 seconds and the light will switch to the 1,200 lumen 10° narrow beam mode. This is great for not blinding your buddies and makes this light a great combination 2-in-1! But wait there’s more! This is actually a 3-in-1 light! By double pressing the power button, the light will switch to a very low lumen red light. This low intensity (100 lumen) red light is ideal for setting up shots in photography or shedding light on animals without disturbing them. Animals often react to strong sources of light such as the wide or narrow beam modes of this light but the red light is able to illuminate them without bothering them. And it is perfect for photography because it allows the camera to have enough light to focus on the subject before your strobes go off to capture the image! This light is a fantastic multi-purpose light and will be the last primary light you ever need! The VTL3800 P comes with a rechargeable battery, battery charger, a soft goodman glove, a 1” ball mount for cameras, a yellow filter, a lanyard, extra o-rings and lubricant, and a dry bag.
