Orcatorch D530V 1200 Lumen Underwater Video Light

Orcatorch D530V 1200 Lumen Underwater Video Light

Capturing vivid, detailed underwater footage demands reliable lighting, and the Orcatorch D530V 1200 Lumen Underwater Video Light is designed to meet this challenge. Engineered specifically for macro shooting, this dive light delivers focused, consistent illumination tailored for both professional and hobbyist underwater videographers and photographers.

When submerged beneath the surface, natural light rapidly diminishes, and color fades with depth. Without a proper underwater video light, the clarity, sharpness, and vibrancy of your footage are compromised. The Orcatorch D530V addresses these challenges directly with its high-performance Luminus LED, a 1200-lumen output, and an ultra-wide 120° beam angle, enabling balanced and even illumination without harsh hotspots or shadows. Whether you're working in tight reef spaces or capturing the delicate movements of marine life up close, this light ensures your subjects are fully lit and richly detailed.

Unlike traditional dive lights designed primarily for navigation, the Orcatorch D530V functions as both an underwater video light and an underwater focus light. The 120° beam angle creates a broad, uniform field of light ideal for macro scenes. With the included snoot, this light can also be channelled in to a narrow beam, creating a perfectly lit situation for the subject but with a black background, making the subject stand out. 

Incorporating a diverse range of beam colors — White, UV395, Red, Blue, and Green — the D530V adds creative versatility, giving underwater videographers and photographers the flexibility to match the light source with their subject or ambient lighting. Red light can help in shooting shy marine species without startling them. UV395 is useful for fluorescence photography, while blue and green offer stylized aesthetic choices for creative projects.

Ease of use is central to the Orcatorch D530V's design. The titanium alloy side button allows for intuitive, one-handed operation. Users can easily switch between brightness modes and beam colors even while wearing gloves. A safety lock feature also prevents accidental activation in transport, conserving battery life and preventing unnecessary wear on the internal electronics.

Despite its durability, the D530V remains compact and lightweight. It’s built for underwater use with a sturdy construction rated IPX8 waterproof and drop-tested for impacts up to 1.5 meters. It’s ready for challenging dive conditions, whether you're filming coral gardens, muck diving in silty environments, or exploring wrecks.

The light comes ready to use with a USB-rechargeable 3400mAh 18650 battery, ensuring long-lasting performance and easy recharging between dives. Additional included accessories — such as a waterproofing O-ring, snoot attachment for precision lighting, lanyard, and a ZJ18 ball joint mount — provide a complete lighting solution that integrates smoothly into underwater camera setups.
