I have used this underwater video light to capture every single shot I have taken over the last 5 years, both on my personal films, and my corporate work as an underwater cinematographer. This video is dedicated to these powerhouse bits of kit!
Link to the updated light (note the new Version 2 light has replaced the Version 1):

The four main factors for me when considering underwater video lights are:
1. The colour rendition index, or CRI. Anything above 90 is considered high CRI, and anything below 90 is low CRI (it is not a linear scale!). This is a measurement of the quality of light - I have entire videos on this on my channel if you're interested.
2. The lumen count. The light has to be sufficiently bright to bring life to your scene.
3. Battery life. The light should be able to last a good few dives before needing a charge.
4. Price. Underwater photography gear is expensive, so anything that can deliver on specs for an affordable price is a huge plus (says the guy filming on a RED Raptor...)
I have used the OrcaTorch D950V Version 1 for years, and I'm super excited to continue shooting my films and projects with the newly improved Version 2!
