The Bonica MT-09 Video Light is designed to provide a clean and natural light source. The light provides the underwater videographer with even lighting coverage and a constant light temperature. The lamp produces a bright 5000° K light which is needed to bring out the true natural colors of the underwater world. The power is switchable from 50 to 25W.
The compact light is constructed of aluminum and is rated to a depth of 330' (100 m). The light uses a Lithium-ion Polymer battery that is included. This gives you a continuous burn time of 45 minutes on full power and one hour on the low setting. The light comes with a tray and handle that allow you to attach the MT-09 to many small camcorders including the Bonica Snapper Dive DV. Also included is a fully adjustable arm. This allows you to aim the light in any direction.
Lights are extremely important for your underwater imaging system. The ocean is one big, blue filter. As you descend, the reds and oranges quickly become muted shades of blue and gray. Shining a color corrected light source on your subject will bring back your subjects natural color.
