Description

The BigBlue HL1000XWN is designed for divers who want the convenience of a head-mounted light without giving up beam versatility.

With both a powerful wide flood beam and a concentrated narrow spot beam, the HL1000XWN allows you to illuminate a broad area or focus your light where you need it most.

The hands-free design makes it especially useful when working with reels, cameras, gauges, stage bottles, SMBs, or other equipment underwater.

1000-lumen wide flood beam

The HL1000XWN produces up to 1000 lumens in flood-beam mode.

The broad beam provides even illumination across a wide area, making it useful for:

• Night diving
• General underwater exploration
• Equipment handling
• Underwater photography support
• Close-range wreck exploration
• Working around a dive site

The wide beam helps illuminate your immediate surroundings without requiring you to constantly aim a handheld light.

500-lumen narrow spot beam

When you need more focused illumination, switch to the 500-lumen spot beam.

The narrow beam is useful for:

• Signaling a buddy
• Looking into wreck openings
• Low-visibility diving
• Navigation
• Inspecting specific areas or objects
• Maintaining a visible directional reference

Having both beam styles in one headlamp gives divers more flexibility than a single-purpose flood or spot light.

Four brightness levels in flood mode

The HL1000XWN offers four adjustable output levels in wide-beam mode:

• 100 lumens
• 250 lumens
• 500 lumens
• 1000 lumens

This allows you to adjust brightness according to conditions while conserving battery power when maximum output is not required.

Extended runtime

BigBlue rates the HL1000XWN for approximately:

• 2 hours at 1000 lumens
• 4 hours at 500 lumens
• 8 hours at 250 lumens
• 20 hours at 100 lumens

That range provides flexibility for short high-output dives or longer dives at reduced power. Bigblue Dive Lights

Rechargeable lithium-ion battery

The HL1000XWN is powered by a rechargeable 18650 lithium-ion battery pack.

Rechargeable power makes the light convenient for regular diving and eliminates the need to continually purchase disposable batteries.

The battery is removable and replaceable, making it practical to keep a spare charged pack available for repetitive dive days.

Integrated battery-level indicator

The body-mounted push-button switch includes a color-coded battery indicator.

BigBlue uses a multi-color system to provide a visual indication of remaining battery capacity, helping divers assess power before and during the dive.

Rugged mixed-material housing

The HL1000XWN uses an anodized aluminum light head combined with a durable polycarbonate body.

This construction keeps the light relatively lightweight while maintaining the durability needed for repeated underwater use.

Compact and lightweight

The HL1000XWN is designed to sit comfortably on the diver’s head while keeping bulk to a minimum.

The 2026 BigBlue catalog lists the light at approximately 219 grams including the battery, making it manageable for extended use.

Built for diving

BigBlue rates the HL1000XWN to a tested depth of 100 meters / 330 feet.

That makes it suitable for recreational, advanced, wreck, night, and many technical diving applications. Bigblue Dive Lights

Great for task-focused diving

A head-mounted light can be especially useful when you need both hands available.

The HL1000XWN works well for:

• Wreck diving
• Night diving
• Technical diving
• Equipment adjustments
• Reel and guideline work
• Camera handling
• Boat and shore diving
• General hands-free illumination

It can serve as a primary hands-free light for certain diving situations or as an additional task light alongside a traditional handheld or Goodman-mounted primary.
