Is that the Fantasea Blueray Extreme video light 6037?
Yeah I think the Fantasea Blueray Radiant would be a good alternative to D11v, but I still would go for a D32vr once the low setting is fix, it's hard to give up the red light mode. The red mode came so handy in many occasion for me, especially during night dive. It helped me to get some nice Mandarin fish photos, and in one of the night dive, all my fellow divers got chase by razor fish like school girls going after One Direction because they have regular light. My red light just doesn't attract them. Also, when getting into water at night, the red mode is less harsh and it's so easy to see what you doing while everybody is getting ready on a dingy.
If you already have a D32vr, the Fantasea Blueray Radiant should be a good supplement to it, instead of a D11v.

There's a red filter for the Fantasea light. I have a red filter for my LaLuz lights and it works well for night dives.

No. Blueray Radiant. It's cheaper and more powerful than the Extreme.

I was working on a DIY camera tray today and wound up ruining it.:depressed: Anyways, I needed a replacement tray quick and checked SRP's website. They are now selling the D11V video light along with their trays, including them in a package as well. It turned out good for me because they now offer light arms with mounts specifically for my D11V light. So I get my new tray next week just in time for my trip to the Caribbean.

Just ordered a d32vr today. Question though where are you guys ordering your batteries from?

Humm. Very nice video and really enjoyed it. The lights seems to function as advertised but my only draw back is I don'y get the feeling that they have enough "punch" for the light to penetrate very deep. Your thoughts?

Good Question.
The only ones I've seen recommended are these two:
$12.75 Trustfire TF32650 3.7V 6000mAh Protected Rechargeable Li-ion Battery at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I couldn't find any better known brands.

Good thought, they do have good range for the wide angle, it felt like car headlights underwater. The problem was the junk suspended in the water reflecting back light so was forced to shoot against the sand so the reflection off the sand gave more light cancelling the suspended particle back reflection. In daylight, I have a more narrow beam light (Tovatech 1000) as a ''punch' light and the other of the two lights on the SRP rig, a wide angle. I might have a "punch light" next time as a 3rd with a Gilson glove to spotlight interesting objects.
