DS161 SUBSTROBE
The Ikelite DS161 Substrobe combines high intensity output and wide coverage angle
in a compact, versatile design. This strobe features 160 watt-sec. intensity and covers
a full 100° using the diffuser. Special soft-lite reflector provides rich reds, oranges, and
warmer flesh tones.
The DS161 is pre-flash compatible and operates with both traditional film cameras and
digital still cameras. Multiple firing modes are featured, including TTL/Auto exposure.
The DS161 electronics are safely sealed separately from the battery pack. The industrial
grade Li-ion batteries recycle in an incredible 1.4 seconds and the Li-ion battery pack
is easily interchangeable with a spare unit. When in the “Batt w/Lite” position, the fuel
gauge references the remaining battery capacity. Aim the DS161 and illuminate your
subject's colors with the built-in modeling light / night diving light / movie light.
