Closed 2 x BigBlue VL10000P video lights

[rs86]

I have two powerful Big Blue 10,000 lumens video lights for sale. They are in very good condition, a bit of normal use wear, but the front glass is completely scratch-free. Never been flooded.

Included are 2 batteries, 2 chargers, 2 goodman gloves, a spare o-ring set, and lubricant.

$800 including shipping withing the CONUS.

would they still be available by any chance? Are you considering a discount?

Hi, sorry, they are not available anymore.

I just became an ambassador for Light & Motion, and I highly recommend their line of video lights. Use this link to get 20% off (discount applied at checkout): Light & Motion | The Leader in Portable Lighting Innovation Since 1989

I have a single BigBlue 8000 and I'm looking for something that'll match it. I had a look at the L&M lights and I noticed the battery time is so bad?

I believe the L&M lights are constant output vs. BigBlue which are variable output. So the L&M will remain the same brightness until the battery dies. The BigBlue lights will dim over time to conserve battery (and they are notorious for overstating the lumens actually emitted). I could be wrong though.

PEDiver, you are exactly right. See this test chart of a BigBlue 15,000 lumen:

We Test Lights | VL15000P Test and Review

Compare that with the SOLA 15,000 lumen:

We Test Lights | Sola Video Pro 15000 Test and Review

You can see that with the SOLA light you will get full power for the advertised battery life, which is not the case with many other lights, which just drop down as time progresses.

The test also shows that the BigBlue light is 1,700 lumens less bright than advertised, and the beam angle is only half of what is advertised! That's pretty significant... SOLA lights are exactly as advertised.
