New underwater HID (Xenon Arc) Video Light from NiteRider May 18, 2006

Divelights International, Inc. have introduced a new dual beam U/W video light for professional quality filming and video. Here is the press release;

The HID Pro 40 U/W Video Light is a compact yet powerful lighting system comprised of two light heads, each housing two 10-watt HID lamps producing a combined light output equivalent to 160 watts of conventional light. The 4 lamps produce an exceptional 6000-degree color temperature and each dual beam headlamp comes with a selectable power switch allowing for a full range of filming modes from close up to wide angle. The switches located on each headlamp give you the choice of having 1 to 4 lamps on at any time. For macro shots only one or two lamps are needed. For wide-angle distant shots you can switch on all 4 lamps. The adjustability solves the problem of the “white out” effect that other hi-wattage HID video lights have during close ups…

The compact and lightweight 13.2-volt 4-amp hour NiMH battery can be easily mounted under most underwater video housings. Burn times are from 50 minutes with all 4 lamps to 4 hours with one lamp. This complete video light system comes with two articulating light arms, an advanced 2.5 hour international smart charging system and a handy travel / storage case. Also included is a hand mount so the light can be used as a dive light. Price $2,599.00 For further information on this and other NiteRider products, call +1-858-268-3850 or visit http://www.niteriderdive.com
