Keldan Video 18XR 35000lm CRI86 Underwater Video Light
35,000-lumen compact light with exchangeable battery tray
The Keldan Video 18XR delivers 35,000 lumens of soft, daylight-balanced light from a self-contained body that travels easily. A reflector-and-dome-lens design gives a wide, speckle-free 110° beam, and a removable 3 × 74 Wh tray provides long runtimes while breaking down into airline-legal cells. Nine power levels and wireless RC1 control round out a serious professional package.

- Want high output (35,000 lm) with a soft, even wide beam
- Travel with your lights — the battery tray splits into airline-legal cells
- Shoot wide reef, wreck or scenic work needing smooth coverage
- Want wireless RC1 brightness control across multiple lights

Why the Video 18XR
High output, true colour
A latest-generation 5,600 K LED gives up to 35,000 lm at CRI 86 (Ra), with nine variable settings from 10 to 270 W.
Soft, wide 110° beam
A reflector and dome lens produce a smooth 110° in-water beam (120° in air) free of speckles and hot spots.
Exchangeable battery tray
Three 74 Wh cells form a single 222 Wh battery that swaps in seconds, and lift out to travel individually within the 100 Wh IATA limit. Charger accepts 110–240 V AC.
Lightweight in water
Only 0.6 kg negative as a complete set, reducible further with the foam buoyancy ring.
