    I have a pair of darkbuster lights for my video set-up and tried to use them on a macro set-up with my dslr. While the lights work great with video, they did not produce enough light to allow a stopped down F11/F16 exposure on macro. I've also tried them as a focusing light - shooting in caverns here in Gozo. Worked great for focus but had a very negative effect on the marine life - they all shied away from the bright video light while taking macro flash images.
