The Biology department of the University of Iceland is using a Gavia Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) to take high-resolution images of the seabed at various depths for research purposes. However, after a new color camera module was developed for the AUV, obtaining high-quality images has proven to be difficult with the original strobe light. Axiomatic Design was employed to develop a suitable lighting module suitable for still images and video. The performance of different light sources in water was investigated to determine design parameters. The completed design uses LED lights should work with the new camera module at operating depth without compromising AUV dynamics nor significantly impacting mission time
