It weighs 990 g on land and 470 g underwater with the battery installed. If the bulk of a larger video light is more than you want on your rig, the 18K offers a compact alternative while retaining a broad 120° underwater beam and three colour-temperature choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoose the colour of your light—not just the brightness\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA close reef subject and a wide scene with blue water behind it present different lighting choices.

That gives you a clear choice between maximum illumination and longer shooting time.
