Sumolight Scuba Max 48,000 Lumens Underwater LED Rental Cape Town

The Sumolight Scuba Max is a state-of-the-art submersible RGBWW lighting luminaire engineered specifically for marine filmmaking, deep pool sets, wet stages, and extreme outdoor environments across South Africa. Delivering an immense 48,000 lumens of raw illumination, the Sumolight Scuba Max sets the global benchmark for professional underwater cinematography.

Submersible IP69 Lamp Head to 20 Metres and 2,000 FPS Speed

Constructed in Germany with a fully submersible IP69-rated optical head, the Sumolight Scuba Max operates seamlessly underwater at depths of up to 20 meters using underwater-mateable cables. Designed for high-speed motion capture, its advanced solid-state drivers guarantee zero flicker at extreme frame rates up to 2,000 FPS, making it indispensable for high-speed aquatic commercials and feature film stunts.

19 Controllable Pixels and Ultra-Efficient Water Cooling

The Sumolight Scuba Max utilizes the surrounding water for ultra-efficient thermal dissipation while also functioning reliably on dry land through passive cooling. Featuring 19 individually mappable RGBWW pixel clusters with swappable beam optics, it allows gaffers and lighting consoles to execute intricate color sweeps, water caustic effects, and daytime ocean simulation via LumenRadio CRMX, Art-Net/sACN, or wired DMX.
