Aquorea Mk3 LED User Manual

Deep-Red Option


For Natural Marine Behavior Surveys

SubC Imaging has created a system which incorporates our field-proven smart cameras and the Red Aquorea lighting to create a toolset that can view underwater life without disturbing their natural patterns and behavior.

When the camera is used in conjunction with the Aquorea with Red lighting it offers superior underwater low light capability, undetectable by marine life.

The long wavelength red light is quickly absorbed and extinguished by the uppermost layers of water. The theory is that because of this, natural selection preferred sea creatures with more blue/green cones vs red. 

This can give Marine Scientists another method of conducting natural behavioral studies.
