The ARCHON DM10 5500K 2700 Lumen Diving Photography Light stands out as a robust and versatile tool for underwater photographers. Engineered to deliver exceptional illumination and reliability, this light is a game-changer for capturing the vibrant underwater world in stunning detail.

At the heart of the ARCHON DM10 is a powerful Bridgelux COB LED that produces a maximum brightness of 2700 lumens. This impressive output ensures that even the darkest underwater environments are brightly illuminated, allowing photographers to capture high-quality images and videos. The light features a color temperature range of 5000-5500K, which closely mimics natural daylight. This spectrum is ideal for underwater photography as it enhances color accuracy and brings out the vivid hues of marine life and coral reefs.

The DM10 offers two output levels: high and low. On high mode, the flashlight delivers intense illumination for up to 90 minutes, making it suitable for deep dives and detailed inspections. The low mode extends the runtime to 150 minutes, providing a softer light that is perfect for extended underwater sessions and conserving battery life. This flexibility allows divers to choose the appropriate lighting level based on their needs and the diving conditions.

Constructed from durable aircraft-grade aluminum, the DM10 is built to withstand the harsh conditions of underwater environments. The body is treated with a premium type III hard-anodizing process, which provides excellent resistance to corrosion and physical wear. This ensures that the light remains functional and visually appealing even after prolonged exposure to saltwater. Additionally, the 5 mm polycarbonate lens adds further durability, protecting the LED and ensuring clear light transmission.

The DM10 features a no-hotspot design and lacks a reflector, ensuring even and consistent light distribution. With a beam angle of 110°, this light provides wide coverage, illuminating a broad area and making it perfect for capturing wide-angle shots and large underwater scenes. This design enhances visibility and reduces the need for multiple light sources, simplifying underwater photography setups.

Powering the DM10 are three 18650 Li-ion batteries housed in a battery pack. The flashlight includes advanced battery management features such as over-discharging protection and polarity reversing protection, ensuring safe and reliable operation. The operation voltage ranges from 12.6V to 8.4V, maintaining stable performance throughout the battery’s discharge cycle. The light is also equipped with a ring-shaped power indicator surrounding the switch, which lights up in green, yellow, or red to indicate battery status. When the power capacity is above 70%, the indicator lights up in green; it changes to yellow when the capacity is between 70-40%, and to red when it is between 40-10%. When the power capacity drops to 10-5%, the indicator flashes in red, providing a critical warning to the user.

The DM10 includes a low battery warning system. When the power capacity falls below 10%, the light flashes three times and repeats this warning every five seconds before automatically switching to a lower brightness mode. If the battery capacity drops below 5%, the flashlight will automatically switch off to prevent over-discharging and potential damage to the battery. This feature ensures that divers are never caught off guard by a sudden loss of light, providing peace of mind during dives.

The DM10 is designed to be compact and easy to handle underwater. It measures 152 mm in length, 67 mm in diameter at the lamp head, and 55.4 mm in diameter at the body. The net weight of the flashlight is approximately 542 grams without the battery, and 810 grams with the battery. Underwater, the weight reduces to about 380 grams, ensuring minimal buoyancy and ease of handling. This balance makes the DM10 suitable for a wide range of underwater activities, from recreational snorkeling to professional deep-sea exploration.

The ARCHON DM10 5500K 2700 Lumen Diving Photography Light is a high-performance, reliable underwater lighting solution designed for serious underwater photographers and videographers. Its powerful illumination, versatile output levels, robust construction, and advanced safety features make it an indispensable tool for capturing stunning underwater footage. Whether exploring vibrant coral reefs, navigating through underwater caves, or documenting marine life, the DM10 enhances the underwater experience with exceptional performance and reliability.
