Thank you for your purchase of Ikelite Underwater equipment. Ikelite products have been designed and
built in the USA since 1962 by Ikelite for both the professional and amateur photographer.
This product should receive the same care and attention as your other photographic products.
Introduction
Normally, images recorded underwater have a blue-green cast because water absorbs the warmer
colors from the ambient light. The Ikelite PRO-2800 Lite helps you add the important dimension of
color to your recorded images. Turn on the PRO-2800 Lite and your subjects will “pop-out” from the
background in living color.
The Ikelite PRO-2800 Lite features an ultra-compact light head incorporating 9 super bright LEDs.
Unsurpassed performance is achieved with an ultra-wide 100° angle of coverage that is free of hot
spots with 5000-5500° K color temperature.
Although designed for use with all of Ikelite’s newer Video and Compact Video housings, the
PRO-2800 Lite can also be attached to the base of a DSLR tray to capture video from a Digital SLR
camera.
The battery pack slides quickly and easily into a battery pouch underneath the housing providing
good weight distribution, and will accept one or two lite heads.
Note regarding “out of water” use:
This product is not designed for above water use. Water helps cool the lite head. When the
PRO-2800 is used out of the water, the light will only run for approximately 2 minutes at full
brightness, then the light will shut off to protect the unit from overheating.
- Please read all instructions before using this product.
SAFETY NOTICE:
The PRO-2800 Battery Pack should
never
be secured directly to a diver
because its cord connects to the lite head that will be secured to a housing connection. In the event
of an emergency, the diver would be unable to free him/herself from the housing, creating an
extremely dangerous, potentially life threatening situation.
