Good solid waterproof LED lamp with a nice high beam, I wanted a light to mount on my camera but also one I could mount an action camera to for underwater shots, I have attempted a project mapping the bottom of a lake using a pulley system which worked really well but the main issue being lack of light and dull footage so this looked ideal for the job.
It arrived in a nice branded box and after unboxing it I was really pleased with the feel of it and weight, it was nice and solid being very well finished and came with several attachments for mounting on a camera and attaching an action camera, the instruction manual has a English section and gives you all the basics you need to know. It comes with three different filters which slip easily in the slot located at the front of the light.
I already had a couple of 18650 lithium batteries but you should note these are not supplied so you will need to get some, the fitting of these is simple just releasing the catch on the back of the light and lifting the hinged back cover and inserting them, this also houses the micro USB port for charging them. I first tested the lights three brightness modes which worked as they should and then went on to test the filters, I used the fittings to attach it to my canon camera which worked perfectly. I tested a bottom fitting having the light as a standalone which also worked well and then fitted an action camera to the top again it fitted perfectly.
I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing the unboxing, fitting the batteries, testing the light and filters, fitting it to my camera, fitting a stand on it and finally fitting my action camera to the top and giving it an underwater test in the bath, this worked perfectly and on inspection no leaks what so ever as it should be.
What I liked
*************
- Good and solid build quality
- Superb beam of light
- Additional filters which are very simple to change
- In light charge system for the batteries via a micro USB port
- Different attachments supplied for camera fitting
- Waterproof up to 40m
What I Didn’t Like
********************
- Not really anything I didn’t like, I would have liked to see batteries supplied but not really a negative as it clearly stated they are not supplied
Summary
**********
Overall this is perfect for my needs and I can’t wait to give it a full test on my project, what I really like is it has a multitude of other things I can and will use it for apart from underwater lighting and the reason I have given it full marks. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.
