- Free NZ shipping over $250
Pairs well with
Replace your Ikelite flash bulkhead with this compact, independently sealed device, for reliable fiber optic triggering of a compatible fiber optic underwater strobe. High frame rate burst shooting is supported when used with an Ikelite DS160, DS161, or DS230 Strobe and High Sensitivity Optical Converter # 4405.
The transmitter is powered by two CR2032 lithium single-use or rechargeable batteries (not included). The Transmitter has a built-in power save mode which prolongs battery life. Expect at least a week of diving out with average use. It is always recommended to travel with a spare set of batteries.
Connection to a new style flash hotshoe is required, included with DL and DLM housings shipped from Ikelite after January 1, 2025 (serial number 81200 and higher). Older housings require a new hotshoe.

Typical Uses
- You want to use one of the entry-level strobes that don’t have an electrical bulkhead.
- You want to use fiber optic cords to eliminate extra waterproof connections.
- You want to disconnect your strobe cords underwater for some reason. Imagine getting back to the boat at the end of a dive and wanting to shoot some split shots using natural light without having your strobes weighing you down. With fiber optic cords you can pop them off, use our unique quick release mount to disconnect your strobe arms, and hand the whole assembly up to the boat crew.

How long will it take for my order to arrive after I make payment?
That depends on where you live and whether we have an item in stock or not. While we do have many items in stock, we don't carry everything. (For example, we do not stock most housings or ports as there are just too many!) If you need an item in a hurry, it's a good idea to contact us and find out if your item is in stock, or if we can get it in a hurry - we often can!
If we have it in stock, we can usually send it out as soon as we receive payment (1-3 business days), or you can pick it up. If an item is not in stock, we'll need to order it from our suppliers, which means it can take 1-2 weeks to arrive at your door (usually closer to a week).
Sometimes delivery can take longer, if our manufacturers are out of stock, for example, but this is unusual - we let customers know as soon as possible if something like this happens.
How do you ship my NZ orders?

If you require next-day delivery in South Island, choose the express shipping option for the South Island. If you spend over $250 get your shipping for free!
