Center light distribution for both wide and spot
The light source is COB (LED), which has an established reputation for uniform light distribution. The COB is customized into a doughnut shape by our original design. The wide light source is placed in the doughnut, and the spot LEDs are placed in the center of the emitting surface, which corresponds to the "hole" in the center of the light source. Whether wide or spot light, the optical axis is centered on the center of the light-emitting surface, ensuring optimum lighting at all times.
| What is the new "COB"? |
|---|
| COB" is a type of LED. COB" is an abbreviation for "Chip on board," and as the name suggests, multiple LED chips are placed directly on the board. Since multiple LED chips are arranged in a concentrated manner, high luminance is achieved. In addition, since the light is emitted from a surface, a large surface can be illuminated evenly. SEA&SEA is the first in Japan to lay out "COB" in a doughnut shape. Even with wide light, shadows are less likely to form in the center, resulting in uniform light. |
Eliminate "multi-shadowing."
The use of COB eliminates "multi-shadows" in both wide and spot lighting. The natural shadows bring out the subject clearly and sharply, making it ideal as a photographic light.
| What is multi-shadow? |
|---|
| Shadows that are unique to LED lighting, which are different from sunlight when an object is illuminated by LED lighting that consists of multiple LED light-emitting chips. When an object is illuminated by LED lighting consisting of multiple LED light-emitting chips, unnatural shadows (multiple shadows) are produced, which are different from those produced by sunlight. Multiple shadows can obscure the outline of an object and reduce its visibility. Single light source COB, which is a single light source, does not produce multiple shadows. |
Various light intensity adjustment functions
Light Quantity Adjustment : Step dimming
When the light is on, simply press the power button for 4-step step dimming. One-touch operation allows switching between 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%, so you can change the light intensity according to the situation.
Light level adjustment : Stepless dimming
Stepless dimming from 0 to 100% is performed with the left and right dimming buttons, and fine adjustment is possible in 1% increments. The digital percentage display allows for fine adjustment and a sense of security.
Light intensity adjustment : Memory function
The "memory function" is especially useful when shooting movies, as the light is turned off once and then turned back on again at the same intensity as when the light was turned off.
Flash sensor function for still image capture
The camera is equipped with a "flash sensor function" that detects the strobe light and automatically turns off the light and turns it on one second later. Since the light turns off in response to the strobe light, there is no need to worry about the light light being captured. Spot light is utilized as a focus light for focusing. The wide light can be used as a light for finding a subject or checking the environment without worrying about uneven exposure or color blurring.
Compact body for easy handling
A spot light source is laid out in the center of the doughnut-shaped wide light source, eliminating waste in the arrangement of light-emitting surfaces and enabling a minimized light head. With a compact size that fits in the palm of the hand and an underwater weight of only 163 g, the body design fits comfortably in the hand, making it easy to use and maneuver.
Easy-to-read color LCD panel display
A variety of functions are displayed on a highly visible color LCD panel. The "light intensity" and "available lighting time," which are most important underwater, are displayed on the same large, easy-to-read screen. Light intensity can be adjusted simply by pressing a button while viewing the panel display.
Light intensity: Light intensity during lighting is displayed in 1% increments.
Remaining lighting time: Displays the lighting available time in real time.
Mode icons are used to display functions.
The function (mode) in use is indicated by a colored icon.
Spot: Lights up when spot light is used.
Wide: Lights up when wide light is used.
Battery: Flashes when the camera is in safety mode.
FS mode: Lights up when flash sensor mode is used.
Remote control mode: Lights up when the remote control is used.
Four trouble-shooting functions
Safety mode: Battery indicator flashes. [The display shows "10min" and starts counting down.
When the light head reaches 55°C (55°F) or higher during use, the light automatically switches to the protection mode and reduces the light intensity to 20% of its maximum.
Blinking Signal Mode: "BLI" is displayed. (Blink = blinking).
The light repeats [3 short blinks] ⇒ [3 long blinks] ⇒ [3 short blinks] ⇒ [OFF].
Battery charging is 2-way
Despite its compact body, the Li-ion battery has a large capacity of 3400 mAh and can be recharged in two ways.
1. Direct charging:
The battery can be charged directly by connecting the supplied dedicated rear charge plug to the charging connector terminal on the back of the body. There is no need to remove the battery from the body, so there is no risk of submersion. No need to take the battery out of the body.
2 Removable charging:
The battery can be removed from the unit and recharged. The battery is compact, so a spare battery can be prepared for quick battery replacement.
Power up by replacing the light head
The LX series light heads are interchangeable. The LX-2400SW FS light head can be used as a 2400 lumen light with the LX-2400SW FS light head, and the LX-1200SW FS light head can be used as a 1200 lumen light with the LX-1200SW FS light head.
*Setting is required after replacing the light head. Please refer to the instruction manual for details.
