Could Be Brighter

I used it on a night dive in St Thomas and needed to use the regular dive light to boost the overall illumination. Pictures came out good. Just a little clumsy holding a flashlight and camera . The flexible handle made the camera steady. The next time I do a day photo dive, I need to see how the light does alone to get rid of the blue light.

ON or OFF?

Sometimes I don't know with it's on or off and I need to "see" the lamp to check

Failed on first trip

No complaints about Leisure Pro. Order delivered on time. The switch on the Sealife failed on it's first dive trip to Maldives. Light wouldn't stay on. Very disappointing when your video light fails at a manta cleaning station!

Good Accessary

This video light is needed if you do video but it also helps light up a still subject and helps to augment a flash.

A super video light

Versatile, variable light intensity, good battery life. Make sure to turn off after using to extend battery life.

Leaks, not worth the money

This product has been so disappointing. I have gone through 2 and I am about to send it back to SEALIFE for my money back. The first one I owned leaked, no idea from where as the O-rings were in perfect shape. This problem occurred again on the second one I own and this time it caused my batteries to explode. Now the light won't turn off at all. It would be a great product if it didn't leak, but it does. So put your money elsewhere until Sealife gets it figured out.

Disappointing and Unreliable

I bought a total of three...one functioned for a 66.7% failure rate. The other two both leaked through the operating button. This was on the first dive; 15 feet at blue heron bridge in Riviera Beach FL.
