Single-source type, high-quality COB (Chip On Board) LED

The RGBlue System01 employs a single-source type, COB (Chip On Board) LED. The COB LED emits light from a single plane so that the problems previously seen with multi-LED type light source such as the multi-shadow effect(*1) and light distribution irregularity are solved.

*1: The multi-shadow effect refers to the generation of multiple shadows when a light source is composed of multiple LEDs.

Natural reproduction of underwater colors thanks to high color rendition and optimum color temperature

The COB LED emits light optimized for underwater shooting, achieving a high color rendering index of Ra80(*2) and a color temperature of 5000K(*3), enabling it to reproduce natural-looking colors closely resembling those produced under normal sunlight.
*2: The standard for expressing the closeness of the characteristics of specific light to natural light (sunlight). The color rendering is higher as this figure approaches 100.
*3: The color temperature represents the color of the light emitted by a light source. The color temperature is higher with colder colors and lower with warmer colors. The color temperature of sunlight is estimated to be between 5000K and 6500K.

Flat light distribution with 100° emission angle, 2200 lm maximum light intensity, condenser lens provided

Flat light is distributed evenly throughout the emission angle of 100°, which is sufficient for shooting movies, as well as for wide-angle shooting. Maximum light intensity is more than enough with total flux as high as 2200 lm. A condensing lens is provided as standard to increase illuminance by reducing the light distribution angle to 60°.
*The condensing lens was designed based on technology used with deep-ocean research vehicles.

Modularized system with one-touch connection/disconnection capability

System01 consists of two modules — the light source (Light Module) and the power supply (Battery Module). An original bayonet mechanism allows the two modules to be connected and disconnected with a simple operation. This design increases flexibility, allowing the system to easily adapt different usage requirements, such as preparation of multiple spare batteries.


Complete waterproofing eliminates worries about water leakage

Both modules are completely waterproof, ensuring that water cannot penetrate and cause damage. Each module is provided with an IPX6(*4) equivalent waterproofing mechanism that can stand up to a water depth of up to 100 meters during lighting (i.e. when the modules are connected).
*4: IPX6 is a liquid ingress protection standard that specifies that water projected in jets from any direction shall have no harmful effects.


Simple operation, perfect safety mechanisms

Just two pushbuttons are all that's needed to control the switch ON/OFF, 4-step brightness control (500 lm/900 lm/1300 lm/1800 lm) and non-step brightness control (300lm to 2200 lm). Remaining battery power is indicated with an LED indicator. Safety mechanisms include a temperature sensor, overcharge, over-discharge, over-current and short-circuit protection circuitry, as well as an over-pressure valve.
