Lighting OptionsLight is essential to bringing out the vibrancy and colors of underwater life in your video. Several options are available to add a video light to this system:
The Pro-V8 LED light is a compact and affordable 500 lumen video light. It easily doubles as a focus light and is compatible with any still or video system.
The PRO-2800 LED is the ultimate in output and angle of coverage. The compact light head produces an incredible 2800 lumens with a natural, daylight balanced color temperature. The 100_ flood light is free of hot spots. A detachable, rechargeable NiMH battery pack allows you to quickly change to a spare and keep shooting all day long.
External Wide Angle and Macro LensesThe housing port is threaded allowing the use of the optional #6420 Ikelite lens or 67mm threaded wide-angle and macro lenses available from other manufacturers. The W-20 is a 0.56x wide angle conversion "wet lens" which can be removed and replaced underwater.
