Macro Snoot Lights
These quality snoot lights are used in macro photography to control the light output for near-focused subjects. Snoots are devices used to reduce beam angles from a light source in order to provide more control over the illumination of their subject.
- Illuminance: 100.000 lux at 100mm
- Stepless dimming at working mode
- Beam Angle: 5 degrees
- Narrow Angle Beam for longer distances
- Net weight: 178g 112g (Underwater)
- Waterproof: 328 feet / 100M diving depth
Uses
You can use snoots to:
- Minimize backscatter
- Cast light over your subject to create contrast & shadows
- Isolate and illuminate your main subject
- Artistic photography/videography
All Video and Photo lights from Scubalamp feature step-less dimming; hold the switch, and it will dim in increments of 10% until you reach your desired illumination. Press the button again, and it will go back to a preset high or low mode.
NOTE REGARDING LIGHT CIRCUITS and RATED OUTPUT:
All Scubalamp lights use constant current (continuous output) drivers; unlike other brands that use a variable output with 'Big' claims. What this means is that you will achieve full rated brightness until the battery reaches around 30%. Following, the light will dim to preserve the remaining battery life.
A light that does NOT use a constant current output driver will begin to dim almost immediately. It will continue to dim as the battery is depleted and the voltage drops. This means that a light rated at 2000 lumens, will only be around 1500 (or so) within the first few minutes. Buyer beware of large output claims for the rated batteries. This is one of the main reasons why we recommend our lights in addition to the durability and quality.
