Fisheye LED 48DX

I have the 20DX, I like it, although ive had a lot of troubles with the batteries and chargers. They had a faulty production run of those. It's got an extremely wide beam, very bright, but you can dim the light to almost nothing. Any focus light I ever buy will have a hard time comparing to this one.

I flooded one once, and it survived Still use it today.

actually the LED pic is a bit deceiving... It does have a bit of a hot spot (and that is what is really showing in Ryan's test shot). The overall beam is pretty wide BUT as you can see from the test, the output is, uh how do I put it..., day and night...

Actually .. Day and night is also a french expression "c'est le jour et la nuit" and it means ... the same as in english ... but i wasn't sure

I'm actually a bit desapointed by the output of the 48 on the test ... is the difference so big between the 2 lights??

It looks like the 48 doesn't light much ...

I was choosing the 48 for many reason:

- Price

- Led ... means natural light, low power consumtion, no battery autonomy loss with time

- The diffuser give a wider beam

But if the output is so "light" i might reconsider my position ... hum ...

Packman i don't know if it is to much to ask (again ... what a pain in the a** this french guy ... lol) , but can you make a picture of what the outpout the light give in the a room with a little shadow ... I don't know if i make myself understand right ....

Another advance of the Led light is that many diver reports that the led light is less disturbing the sea creatures as the 'traditional' lights.

you mean show the light in a room that is NOT completely dark? To be honest, not sure what that's going to show you. It's really going to look similiar to that sample from Ryan's test which was done with some ambient llight. In his test setup, the light is 30 inches away from the wall and the bottom part of the ruler is about 24" long. I think this gives you an idea of what kind of beam the LED48Dx creates. If you are trying to do slow shutter/ low light ambient wide angle u/w shots with this focus light on, for instance on a wreck, I think it's going to cause a bit of a hot spot in your photo. You could try using the diffuser which is sold separately (as shown in Ryan's test).

Ok Pakman, thank you again for taking time to answer all my questions.

I've planned to have the diffuser on the light.

I've just receive my 48DX ... looks very nice ...

The brightness of the Light is much better than i have expected reading some comments ... lol

And the diffuser makes a very good difference concerning hotspot problems ...

Can't Wait July to try it in the Maldives.

See you!
