This looks like a really great light, but I just saw the price ($429)........ouch

A cheaper alternative would be the little Epoque digital light.

I was using a pair of them in Puerto Galera, Philippines as video lights for macro work. They work pretty well. Manufacturer’s burn time of 40min is maybe just about possible. The light features a charging port so you do not need to remove batteries etc for charging and it has an infinitely variable power control. The halogen bulb features a blue coated reflector which helps to raise the color temperature. The only complaint I had is with the power control which also serves as the on/off switch. It is very small and with wet fingers it makes turning the lights off and on more difficult than it should be. If you were wearing diving gloves it would be a near impossible task! No reason why they would not work well as focus lights. Anyway at around US$250 it is worth considering.

The EL-1225 goes for $382.50 in the states, with a charger. Having used both of these lights, I highly recomend the fisheye light. It's control knobs are much larger and easier to adjust, and the light has more burn time. The ability to pop in another battery between dives allows a single fix light to replace multiple LMI Sunray Mods, or EL-1225 lights.
