Thank you for your purchase of Ikelite Underwater equipment. Ikelite products have been designed and
built in the USA since 1962 by Ikelite for both the professional and amateur photographer.
This product should receive the same care and attention as your other photographic products.
Introduction
Normally, images recorded underwater have a blue-green cast because water absorbs the warmer
colors from the ambient light. The Ikelite PRO-2800 Lite helps you add the important dimension of
color to your recorded images. Turn on the PRO-2800 Lite and your subjects will “pop-out” from the
background in living color.
The Ikelite PRO-2800 Lite features an ultra-compact light head incorporating 9 super bright LEDs.
Unsurpassed performance is achieved with an ultra-wide 100° angle of coverage that is free of hot
spots with 5000-5500° K color temperature.
Although designed for use with all of Ikelite’s newer Video and Compact Video housings, the
PRO-2800 Lite can also be attached to the base of a DSLR tray to capture video from a Digital SLR
camera.
The battery pack slides quickly and easily into a battery pouch underneath the housing providing
good weight distribution, and will accept one or two lite heads.
Note regarding “out of water” use:
This product is not designed for above water use. Water helps cool the lite head. When the
PRO-2800 is used out of the water, the light will only run for approximately 2 minutes at full
brightness, then the light will shut off to protect the unit from overheating.
- Please read all instructions before using this product.
SAFETY NOTICE: The PRO-2800 Battery Pack should never be secured directly to a diver
because its cord connects to the lite head that will be secured to a housing connection. In the event
of an emergency, the diver would be unable to free him/herself from the housing, creating an
extremely dangerous, potentially life threatening situation.

Flashlight (1/4 power) can be used
to conserve power when not
shooting video or shooting a very
close-up subject.
Full, 3/4, and 1/2 power are the
normal video shooting modes. Set
power accordingly based on
distance to subject, water clarity,
and ambient light.
“SOS” mode emits 3 short and 3 long
flashes, alternately. This is the
international distress signal and
should only be used in an
emergency.
PRO-2800 Package - System Assembly
1. First make sure you have all the components listed in your PRO-2800 Lite package - Pages 4-5.
2. Using a phillips screwdriver, attach the arm mount to the Lite Head if not already done - Page 6.
3. Remove Cord Protector Cap from Power Cord - Page 6. Lightly lube each Cord End o-ring. Use
only Ikelite lube (supplied); other lubricants may cause the o-rings to swell and not seat properly.
Wipe off excess lube with a clean cloth. Make sure there is no hair or debris on the o-rings.
4. Attach one Cord End to the PRO-2800 Lite head - Page 6, Diagram A. Either Cord End can be
used.
5. Remove the Battery Pack from the Battery Pack Pouch.
6. Plug in the Smart Charger to fully charge your Battery Pack - Page 8, Diagram D.
7. Attach the Battery Pack to your specific system tray: Page 9 for a Video Housing Tray,
Pages 10-11 for a DSLR Housing Tray, and Page 13 for a Compact Video Dual Tray.
8. Attach the PRO-2800 Lite with arm to your system: Page 10 for a Video Housing, Page 12 for a
DSLR Housing, Pages 14-15 for Compact Video Housing.
9. Attach the remaining Power Cord End to a Battery Pack Female Connector.
10. Rotate Power Switch counter-clockwise to turn Lite on - see above.
PRO-2800 Operation & Power Settings
The PRO-2800 Lite features a rotational Power Switch. After the system is assembled and the
PRO-2800 is attached to a charged Battery Pack, rotate the switch counter-clockwise from the
On/Off position to your desired power setting. Rotate switch clockwise from your chosen power
setting to turn Lite off. Note that switch will NOT rotate clockwise past the On/Off position or
counter-clockwise past the “SOS” Mode position.
PRO-2800 Battery Capacity
Battery Capacity: Fuel Guage Indicator Light Color = Capacity Remaining
- GREEN = 100% (full charge) to 70% remaining power.
- YELLOW = 69% to 40% remaining power.
- RED = 39% to 10% remaining power.
- RED BLINKING = 9% TO 0% power remaining.
When indicator light is blinking red, time remaining is approximately 10 minutes at full power. To
increase run time, decrease power level.
