We’re proud to announce the launch of the Retra Flash Pro Max II, our most advanced professional strobe to date. Built on five generations of innovation and field-proven performance, the Pro Max II redefines what’s possible in underwater lighting—delivering Li-ion-level performance using safe and widely available NiMh batteries.
Power Meets Efficiency
With an impressive 190Ws of flash power, the Pro Max II produces 65% more actual light output compared to its predecessor—all while maintaining the same compact size and weight. This significant leap in brightness is achieved through a redesigned reflector, optimized power handling, and an improved triggering system that channels more energy into light rather than heat.
Whether you're shooting fast-paced action or intricate macro scenes, you’ll appreciate the 25% faster recycle times and the ability to shoot up to 2000 flashes at 25% power using the 8×AA configuration. It even supports continuous shooting up to 60 frames per second on low power settings.
Designed for the Creative Edge
The 120% brighter pilot light, now outputting 1000 lumens, provides exceptional visibility for precise snooting and creative lighting setups. With 17 power levels available via the control dial, you get fine-tuned control over your light output in any situation.
We've also added several hardware enhancements for reliability and ease of use:
- Real gold-plated contacts in the strobe and battery cap ensure dependable performance, even in harsh conditions.
- The startup procedure is now faster, with no waiting required in BATT/TEST mode.

Built for the Long Run
The Pro Max II is more than just powerful—it’s built for the long haul. We chose NiMh batteries not just for their safety and travel ease, but because we’ve refined our electronics to deliver Li-ion performance without compromise. This means faster recycle times, greater autonomy, and trusted reliability on every dive.
Whether you're working on demanding commercial shoots or chasing creative breakthroughs, the Retra Flash Pro Max II is ready to perform.
