DS125 + DS51 - what about color temperature?

2 posts
  1. After too many frustrating moments with a point and shoot (2 strobes), I finally decided to take my Canon 20D underwater - in an Ikelite housing.

     

    I was planning to get two strobes of different power for more flexibility in macro composition (and still keep TTL). So DS125+DS51 because of price, weight and full TTL support. Then I noticed the DS125 is noticeably warmer than the DS51.

     

    Does anyone has experience with a similar setup? Or do you use a diffuser/manual setting on one of the strobe when you just want to fill shadows?

    Before I got an additional DS125, I used one DS125 and one DS50. I used the manual controller on the

    DS50 and the DS125 as a main light. I didn't notice a big color temperature difference when using

    the two together.
