Mangrove´s new line of Hybrid lights are an industry breakthrough. The VC-2L specially designed for underwater video and photo is supplied with two MR16 lamps, one overdrive MR16 halogen bulb, emitting 1000 lumens, and one Solid-State LED module emitting a staggering 800 lumens. Featuring two output levels, the 30w light can dim from high to medium power output levels allowing you to dim lighting for a quick exposure adjustment.
The halogen lamp supplied with the VC-2L is an Osram Decostar IRC, the IRC technology means a reduction in losses due to thermal radiation (IRC): Special bulb geometry and a sophisticated coating on the bulb ensure that the thermal (infrared) radiation is reflected and the heat emitted from the filament is reflected back to the filament. As a result the filament is heated further. This means that less electrical energy has to be supplied to the filament. On the other hand, the solid state construction of the LED module means extremely rugged, nothing to break, completely reliable with 4 separate LEDs that produces a wonderfully even beam pattern with no hot spots and no light reduction for superior video results
