We’ve recently received links to two objective reviews of our 2×30 Watt Video Light System, and we’re glad to say they were extremely positive!  If you are considering shooting video underwater, have you considered your lighting?  Check out these independent reviews of our lights.

Review #1:

This review was done by Paul G. Ranky, PhD.  He is the Editor in Chief at www.CIMwareUKandUSA.com, and is a professor of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at New Jersey’s Science and Technology University.

Excerpt:

Pros: Nice white light, evenly spread. Compact lightheads. High quality, robust design and manufacture; all works well! The batteries charge fast and the entire system is reliable. Can be used by casual as well as pro-videomakers. The LED lights are immediately bright and white, no need to warm up and use significantly less energy than other solutions (e.g. HID). With careful manual energy management lasts easily 3 dives without recharging.

Cons: Really none; the weight of the batteries is a little bit high, nevertheless this depends on the housing you are using. Battery technology is constantly improving, therefore we can expect huge changes in size and power within a few years.

Review #2:

Check out our BB-30W LED torch as it provides 1000-Lumens of bright light in murky Patagonian waters!

“Dear Tim,

Last week we came back from our fieldwork at the Swift archaeological wrecksite in Patagonia. I want to tell you that the BB30 light was of great help for the underwater works. This season the water was very murky and the visibility never exceeded 50 centimeters. So at a depth of 15 meters the sunlight was almost absent. We used the Big Blue light to assist in the excavation and recording tasks as well as taking photographs. Here I send you a couple of pictures.

So we are very happy with the performance of our light.”

Best Regards,
