UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY STROBES

SUBSTROBE50.JPG (3668 bytes)IKELITE SUBSTROBE 50
The small strobe series with giant capabilities. These compact strobes now provide an unbelievable full 50 watt-seconds of electrical power.
The size and color temperature leave almost nothing to be desired for macro photography, while the power and coverage allow use with lenses as wide as 28mm.
The best price, recycle time, and most flashes per set of batteries in its class.

SPECIFICATIONS:
Size - 8cm x 12cm ~ 3.2" x 4.7"
Weight - 0.6 kg ~ 1.3 pounds
Energy Rating - 50 watt-seconds
Coverage Angle - 70 degrees
Color Temp - 5700 degrees Kelvin
Power Source - 4 "AA" alkaline
Flashes - 200 Full Power
Recycle Time - 3.5 seconds


SUBSTROBE100.JPG (3559 bytes)IKELITE SUBSTROBE 100A
The SubStrobe 100A is the value leader in a strobe capable of covering wide-angle lenses underwater.
- TTL, Manual, and 1/2 Power Modes
- Recycle time is less than 4 seconds
- Measures 4.5" x 7.8" ~ 11.5cm x 20cm
Weight is only 3.5 pounds ~ 1.6 kg


Turning a knob adjusts the angle of coverage from 80 to 95 degrees, allowing optimum coverage for a full range of lenses from 15mm to macro. The adjustable coverage eliminates the need for a diffuser that would reduce the light output by one f / stop.
The special soft-lite reflector and 4800 degree Kelvin color temperature provide exceptional flesh tones. Built-in modeling light helps in aiming the strobe while illuminating subject's colors.
The electronics are completely sealed from the battery compartment. The strobe provides approximately 160 flashes from four "D" cell alkaline batteries. Full power recycle time is less than four seconds.
Optional Ni-cad pack with industrial grade 5.0 AH matched cells and 6-hour charger is also available.


substrobe200.jpg (4609 bytes)IKELITE SUBSTROBE 200
New Substrobe 200 is a high performance professional strobe with reliability and features that revolutionize underwater photography. State-of-the-art electronics provide a blazing 200 watt seconds of power recycling in an incredible 1.6 seconds. Mount the SS 200 on either side of the camera and the control panel and ready light are always visible for quick confirmation and easy access. Both visual and audible ready signals convey flash readiness and confirm TTL operation. The SS 200 offers four manual power modes.
The SS 200 delivers an even ultra-wide 100 degree beam, wider than the Nikonos 15mm lens, eliminating the need for a wide angle diffuser that would reduce output by one f-stop. Ikelite's special soft-lite reflector produces softer, warmer, more natural colors. The built-in aiming light is more than just a target light; it is powerful enough to use as a night diving light.
The main strobe electronics are sealed from the battery compartment, and the industrial grade ni-cad battery module is easily removed. No more guessing about when to recharge; the SS 200 features an LED film gauge which shows how many rolls of film can be exposed with the remaining battery power.
Charger not included with Substrobe 200

SUBSTROBE400.JPG (10129 bytes)IKELITE SUBSTROBE 400
Recognized as the most powerful underwater strobe offered by any manufacturer, the new Substrobe 400 produces an unprecedented 400 watt-second beam covering an ultra-wide 110 degrees.
This power strobe offers a wider range of aperture choices for increased depth of field. It is especially suited for wide angle photography as it covers the Nikonos 15mm and SLR 18mm lenses without the need of a diffuser*. The special soft-lite reflector provides rich reds, oranges, and warmer flesh tones. The built-in aiming light shows the colors in your subjects and is powerful enough to use as a night diving light.
The industrial grade ni-cad module recycles in a quick 3-seconds. Both visual and audible ready signals convey flash readiness and confirm TTL operation. The Substrobe 400 also operates in three manual power modes. Charger not included.
* Diffusers reduce output by one f-stop.

ys120duo.gif (16260 bytes)SEA & SEA YS-120 DUO
This is the first electronic strobe with internal circuitry that will automatically adapt for TTL flash photography with both four-pin and five-pin connectors. One strobe, compatible with any Motor Marine II camera, the SX-1000, the Nikonos V, the RS, housed Nikon N50 and Nikon N90 cameras. All you need do is select the appropriate connector when you purchase the strobe. The YS-120 Duo operates in TTL, full power and half power and delivers flash readiness and TTL confirmation information via neon lamps and audible beeping signals. It has a slave mode and a test mode, too. Another unique feature is that the YS-120 Duo, unlike any other strobe on the market today, has these indicators built in to both sides of the strobe head. When mounting the YS-120 on the right for dual strobe photography, this practical innovation allows for easy visual access to your ready light and confirmation light.
