The DS160 underwater strobe is the long-standing choice of professionals who need a strobe that can be relied on to perform over and over. No strobe on the market today comes close to the number of hours of factory and field testing as our DS160-series, including under the Antarctic ice.

LIGHT QUALITY

Our proprietary circular flashtube design and soft white powder-coated reflector produce a quality of light that is widely accepted as the perfect choice for professional wide-angle underwater photography.

A custom formulated ABS-PC blend makes the strobe fundamentally corrosion-proof and over 1/2 lb (237 g) lighter than aluminum-body strobes.

The DS160 beam is designed for proper spread and color temperature without adding a light-reducing diffuser. The optional Dome Diffuser #4069.2 is available to extend the spread of the light with only a half-stop reduction of apparent brightness.

ERGONOMICS

Change settings quickly without taking your eyes off the subject. Life moves quickly underwater and you need to be able to react instantly when your lighting needs change.

Shooters who use manual strobe exposure settings prefer our large, click-stop dial controls which provide intuitive, tactical feedback of exposure settings.

The robust dial controls are larger and taller for comfortable use with even the thickest gloves. A slide lock prevents the strobe from accidentally being turned on when not in use.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE POWER

Built for demanding underwater photography, the DS160 delivers consistent, powerful lighting performance with a reliable and durable design. Its compact, corrosion-resistant construction makes it a trusted choice for professional and advanced underwater photographers.
