Long Term Storage
Submerging the PRO-2800 system in a body of warm, soapy water will clean its exterior; let it soak
for an hour or two. Use a liquid soap and thoroughly rinse the system afterwards.
- Thoroughly dry all parts of the PRO-2800 before putting the system in storage. This includes
the lite head, battery pack, arm system, and cord.
- Disconnect the cord from the battery pack and lite head when in storage. Attach Cord Protector
Caps.
- The battery pack should be put into storage fully charged and should be fully recharged every few
months. The female connectors should be capped when in storage.
Lubricant
Silicone lubricant is provided. Use only enough lubricant to make the area where it’s being applied
feel slick; wipe off any excess with a clean cloth.
- Use only Ikelite brand silicone lubricant with Ikelite brand o-rings; other brand lubricants can
cause the Ikelite o-rings to swell in size.
- Lubricant only reduces friction; it is not a sealant.
-
Caution: Do not
use spray lubricant; it can crack the plastic of the system.
Flooding
In the event of flooding, do not attempt to repair your Ikelite PRO-2800 Lite system yourself. Gather
all of the system’s components and return them to Ikelite for inspection, water pressure testing,
and/or repair.
Caution: Do not
reuse batteries that have been wet; the water could create an internal short circuit
at some later date, potentially causing an explosion. In case the battery pack floods, return it to
Ikelite for repair along with the other system components.
Pro Video Lite II / 3 Conversion.
The PRO-2800 LED Lite head can be used with battery packs from existing Ikelite Pro Video II or 3
light systems. #4103.50 Power Cord is required—the Pro II/3 in-line switch is not usable with the
PRO-2800 lite head.
The PRO-2800 LED is designed to be used as primary video lighting for any underwater video,
digital still or digital SLR system. A perfectly diffused 100 degree beam provides even coverage from
macro to wide angle. Near daylight color temperature ensures the most true, natural tones
especially when combined with ambient light in seascapes.
