The AOI Aqua Blent Filter FLR-02-BLU is a compact blue filter for the AOI CLV-202 Video Light and compatible underwater lights. It is designed to help match the light output of a video light to the existing blue ambient light underwater.

Underwater, natural light changes significantly with increasing depth. Red tones disappear very quickly, while blue and cyan tones become dominant. If the camera is white-balanced for ambient light and an unfiltered white video light is used at the same time, visible mixed-light effects can occur: the foreground may appear too warm or reddish, while the background remains blue.

This is exactly where an ambient filter helps. It modifies the white light of the lamp so that it blends more harmoniously with the existing underwater light. This creates more natural transitions between foreground and background and gives the overall image a more balanced look.

Why a blue ambient filter is useful

A blue ambient filter is especially useful for video recordings and photos in clear blue water. It helps bring the artificial light of the lamp visually closer to the surrounding ambient light. This can be particularly helpful when working with manual white balance or when foreground and background should match more naturally in colour.

This principle is well known from high-quality underwater lighting systems: ambient filters are used to transform white video light into a spectrum that is closer to the surrounding underwater light. This makes mixed-light situations easier to control and helps create a more natural image.

Advantages of the AOI Aqua Blent Filter

• Blue ambient filter for the AOI CLV-202 Video Light
• Helps match white video light to blue ambient underwater light
• Reduces visible mixed-light effects between foreground and background
• Ideal for video, content creation and natural underwater images
• Especially useful when working with manual white balance
• Compact design with a weight of only 38 g
• Robust construction made from POM and PC

Typical use

The AOI Aqua Blent Filter is particularly useful in situations where the underwater light should not appear as strong warm artificial light, but should instead blend as naturally as possible with the existing water light. In combination with the AOI CLV-202 Video Light, it is a practical accessory for more natural underwater photo and video results.

• Video recordings in blue water
• Wide-angle and close-range scenes with visible background
• Shots using manual white balance based on ambient light
• Travel videos, social media clips and natural underwater content
• Scenes where foreground and background should match better in colour

For a more natural underwater light balance

The AOI FLR-02-BLU is a small but very useful accessory for underwater videographers and photographers working with the AOI CLV-202 Video Light who want to achieve a more natural colour balance. Especially in blue water, a suitable ambient filter can help make the light from the lamp appear less artificial.
