Rating: sealife L.E.D video light
Reviewer: james campbell,
This is one of the best light i have used. It has some pretty awesome features like 3 levels of brightness settings plus a rescue flash setting and my favorite is the quick disconnect from the stand and doubles as a flashlight for night dives or just to get a better angle of light for video or a picture. i was amazed as how long the battery life is on this light even set at a 100%. i liked this product so well i have 2 for my camera it really brings out the colors under the water and i love all my Sealife products. just cant go wrong with this product and hope thi helps.

Rating: Dual function light works well
Reviewer: JON HALL,
My intent was to use this light instead of the digital flash I have been using for some still photos. Wound up attaching both lights as the video light comes with an attachment knob for attaching both lights to the camera (also a Sealife)....thought it might be difficult to operate the camera with both lights attached but had no problems. Experimented with both stills and video and the light performed very well..got some very good pictures. My favorite feature was the ease of releasing the video light to use as a flashlight. The 500 lumen power at 100% provided more than enough light to see in dark spaces. The attached coil cord prevents the light from accidentally falling. Tried the 50% power once and felt I could easily see what I wanted to see. Although I didnt do a night dive on this trip, this light provides more light than what dive outfits, that Ive gone with, offer you on their night dives.

i was amazed with the light. i took it on a cavern dive and turned it on 100 percent power and it lighted it up like a grand ballroom. i was able to take some incredible video. i was in for 45 min and the batteries never died. i also used same batteries on another dive with no problems. i truely liked this product and the quick disconect on the light is nice also. hope this helps. Thank you James

Rating: Exceeded my expectations
Reviewer: Rick Boyle,
I am very impressed with the light. It is uncomplicated and the one button control is easy to use with gloves. I use it with a non-Sealife camera and housing and there were no issues. As for performance, there were no hot spots and it put out enough light to greatly improve the quality of video as well as stills. The flexible arm came in handy on a particular shot when I adjusted it to fit into a tight crevice to get up close to a bunch of bugs (if you cant take em, film em). I have found it versatile. It uses a double O-ring to seal it, and I dont anticipate having any problems with it.

Questions and Answers for Sealife L.E.D. Video Light:
CLIFF:
i HAVE THE SEALIFE DC1200 WITH PRO FLASH STROBE. i WANT TO TAKE SOME VIDEO. IF I GET THE PRO VIDEO SL980 TO BOTH ATTACH TO THE CAMERA AT THE SAME TIME OR DO I JUST NEEP THE PRO VIDEO
My nephew has a Sealife DC1400 underwater camera. If I buy for him, a Sealife L.E.D. Video Light (item SL980), this flash, also serves to take pictures?
Or, to take pictures with this camera, I must buy a Sealife Digital Pro Flash (item SL961)?
Thanks.

Hello Iris, if you are looking for a light to take still pictures then you will need the Sealife Digital Pro Flash web link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-540/069700/Sealife-Digital-Pro-Flash.html. If he is doing more video then stills. Then you want to stick with the video light. With the video light when you go to take a picture the video light will turn off and then turn back on once you are done taking the picture. If you would like to place an order or have any other questions please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.

Hello Pierre, I have found that if you do more video the stills it is good to do dual video lights. The down side to this is if you do take a still the video light will turn off during the still shot. But with the dual video lights you will have better cover of the subject you are filming.
