When you have a camera that shoots photos and video, what kind of underwater light will you need? Flash won't work with video--but SeaLife's SL980 Underwater Photo/Video Light offers 500 lumens of continuous LED light technology. Effective at 1-2' for photos and 2-3' for videos, the SL980 gives you added depth and color balance in your close-up underwater images.

The light head is attached to an included flexible arm on a universal mounting base, and the light has a quick release for flexibility in lighting. With 8 different light mode settings and a rubber hood for shock protection, the SL980 is a terrific lighting solution for stills and video underwater. Using the SL980 in combination with the SeaLife Digital Pro Flash creates the ideal underwater lighting set-up for photos--the Digital Pro Flash brightens up colorful backgrounds at longer shooting distances, and the SL980 makes close-up colors come alive with its wide-angle 70° beam that evenly illuminates the subject without hot spots.

The SL980 features easy-to-use, one-button operation, and runs on 4 AA batteries.
