Focus lamp. Has anybody tried this?

I just picked up the La Luz light kit with the 2 batteries, charger, ys clamp, red filter. Nice wide beam, extremely bright, and compares favorably with my Sola 1200. For $200, this is an excellent deal. My only complaint is that the beam has a hard edge instead of the soft edge that the Sola has.

I picked one up recently as well and agree that it is pretty tough to turn on underwater!

Tried it on a shallow dive last weekend.

I have been using a LaLuz and its excellent. You have to just touch the button to change setting not press it hard. Love using it.

The shadows are bad if you try to use it as a strobe.

Have you tried pointing it in the right direction?

I also don't agree with the what he said of the switch, he obviously hasn't used it underwater as the pressure makes it lighter to push- tested it in a HK apartment!!!!

The incrementation of power seems wrong too in the review, I think the manufacturers claims are fair and square.

It's a solid little torch, with the latest tech rechargeable battery.

 

If I was going to fault it, I would say the YS style adapter is the weak point, if they made a sprung mount clip for it(like for smgs) it would be a better, but hey plastic things last if you look after them(the design of the plastic mount isn't the best as it tightens past parallel). You could probably bodge up a Inon brand one to work on this, could use multiples for video.

 

$200 hard to beat.

Ditto on the button. I thought this was an issue at first when I tried it in my apartment. However, underwater, I have no issues operating it.
