WeeFine Light Blue Filter for SolarFlare 4500/7000S

Why use a blue filter on an underwater video light?

A blue filter on an underwater video light is used to make the light match the natural blue ambient light underwater. This helps create more natural-looking footage.

Main reasons:
1. Reduce color differences
As you go deeper underwater, colors disappear:

• Red disappears first
• Then orange and yellow
• Blue travels the farthest

A video light normally produces bright white light, while the surrounding water light is mostly blue. A blue filter shifts the lamp light toward blue so it blends better with the ambient underwater light.

2. More natural images
Without a filter, the subject illuminated by the light can look very bright or white while the background stays blue.
With a blue filter, the transition between subject and background becomes softer and more natural.

3. Fewer hotspots
The filter also reduces light intensity slightly, which:

• reduces harsh reflections
• prevents overexposed spots in the video.

When is it mainly used?

• Wide-angle underwater video
• Shallow water with lots of ambient light
• When you want the artificial light to match the blue water

When is it usually not used?

-Macro filming
-Night dives

In those cases you want the full white light to restore the natural colors of the subject.
