Nocturnal Lights — Underwater Lighting Built from Diver Feedback

Nocturnal Lights builds underwater lighting systems for the full range of people who actually use them — technical divers, commercial divers, scuba retailers, professional underwater photographers, and professional filmmakers. That breadth matters: a light designed in a vacuum tends to optimize for one use case at the expense of others, while a light refined through continuous feedback from working professionals tends to get the practical details right — maintenance access, travel durability, real-world reliability, not just headline lumen figures.

Every Nocturnal Lights product is built from aircraft-grade aluminum, engineered to withstand demanding diving conditions dive after dive. The LED lineup is built around high-intensity LED technology balanced for mobility, durability, and efficiency — and the product range spans well beyond standard dive lights into focus lights, video lights, search-and-rescue lighting, ROV lighting, helmet lights, and underwater tripod lighting.

At DiveCatalog.com, we carry Nocturnal Lights products and accessories as an authorized dealer.

The Nocturnal Lights Product Range

SLX Series — Photo and Video Lighting

The SLX 800-series lights (800i, 800t, 800xi, 800xt) are built around Nocturnal Lights' aircraft-grade aluminum construction for serious underwater photography and videography use. Dedicated buoyancy and protective neoprene sleeves are available for each variant — protecting against cosmetic scratches and damage to the aluminum housing while adding useful buoyancy for photo and video rig configurations.

M700 Series — Compact High-Output Lights

The M700i and M700t lights pair with Nocturnal Lights' YS-style arm adapter system — an aluminum light holder that secures the light firmly in place, letting you switch it on and off without ever worrying about it slipping out of the mount. The 1/4" threaded base and removable YS attachment provide flexibility for different mounting configurations.

Mounting and Arm Accessories

Nocturnal Lights' mounting ecosystem covers a wide range of rig configurations: the 2 YS Flex Arm Extra Short mounts lights close to a tray or housing, with swivel and tilt control, commonly used with a 1/4"-20 T-base for center-mounted video or focus lights. The Ball Joint Connector for Ikelite quick-release handles uses Nocturnal Lights' 1-inch Ball Arm System Mark II, with a grooved O-ring design that prevents slippage and allows finger-tight repositioning underwater without losing hold. A 45-degree ball joint adapter with T-base slot rounds out the angle-adjustment options, with a quick-release knob for fast tightening from the top.
