Lights

The LED SeaLite^_® is our newest light, designed as a robust industry workhorse with outputs up to 10,000 lumens, offering highly configurable beam patterns (spot, flood) and Multiray™ technology (multiple colors/beams in one fixture). The SeaLite^_® Sphere, is an established compact, fully dimmable light designed to replace halogen bulbs. It features a unique spherical design that is chemically inert and operates both in water and in air (for limited periods), making it highly versatile for deck operations and ROV tooling. 

Multiray^_™ technology allows a single lighting fixture to house two distinct sets of LED sources. This enables operators to switch between different colors (e.g., White and UV, or White and Red) or beam patterns without adding a second physical light to the vehicle. This feature is available on the Multiray LED SeaLite^_® series. 

Yes, many DeepSea lights, such as the LED SeaLite^_®, are designed to be field-serviceable. They often utilize a design that requires no solder wire connections or specialized tools for basic maintenance, allowing for quick repairs or re-configurations on the vessel. 

Most premium LED lights, including the LED SeaLite^_® and SeaLite^_® Sphere, come with a standard depth rating of 6,000 meters (using anodized aluminum or titanium housings). Options for 11,000 meters (full ocean depth) are available for specific models, requiring a titanium housing. 

Yes, most DeepSea LED lights support wide-range dimming. Supported protocols typically include analog (0-5V, 0-10V, 4-20mA) and serial communication (RS-232, RS-485), as well as Phase/Triac control for specific models like the SeaLite^_® Sphere. 

DeepSea offers lighting solutions spanning from small, low-power lamps to very high-output lamps. In terms of brightness, the output ranges from a few hundred to many thousands of lumens. For example, the ultra-compact Nano SeaLite produces around 700 lumens of light, whereas the flagship LED SeaLite^_® (and SeaLite^_® Sphere series) can output up to 10,000 lumens to illuminate large areas. As for electrical power input, different models accommodate various supply ranges: some run on low-voltage DC (typically 10–48 VDC) and others accept AC mains voltages (around 90–140 VAC) depending on the model. This flexibility means there’s a light for almost any power source or brightness requirement – from small inspection-class ROVs to large deep-sea platforms.

Yes, you can achieve mixed beam angles by using DeepSea’s MultiRay^_™ LED SeaLite^_® technology. The MultiRay LED SeaLite (model LSL-2025) actually combines two LED modules in one light, each with its own beam pattern and even color, which can operate independently or together. For instance, you could have a narrow-spot beam and a wide-flood beam in the same fixture and toggle each on or off. This effectively lets you “mix” beam angles in one compact setup – great for getting both distance penetration and broad illumination as needed. In multi-light setups, you could also simply use different SeaLite versions (e.g. one with a narrow beam lens and one with a wide beam) since the SeaLite family offers multiple beam angle options and LED configurations to tailor the lighting to your needs.

Yes, certain DeepSea lights – particularly our strobe and flashing models – can be synchronized with camera systems. The SeaStrobe LED SeaLite (LSL-2075) is a prime example: it’s designed to emit high-intensity pulses and includes a sync trigger input so that an external device (like a camera or controller) can trigger the flash at precise times. It supports edge-trigger and pulse-following modes for flexible synchronization, meaning you can coordinate each strobe flash with camera shutter events or other timing signals. Even our continuous lights can be remotely toggled or modulated via serial commands or analog control, which is useful if you want to programmatically turn lights on/off in sync with camera operation (for instance, dimming or extinguishing lights during certain camera frames). Overall, DeepSea’s lighting products integrate well with external trigger systems commonly used in underwater photography and machine vision.
