Fantasea Radiant light: Holy crap!

[Jak Crow]

I bought one just in time for an underwater photo competition last week and wow. This is a great light. It appears to be the same as the iTorch Video Pro5, but the Fantasea has a power button instead of twisting to turn the light on like the Pro5. The power button also has a power indicator light for battery status. It takes two protected 18650 batteries. The light output is excellent, with a 110 degree wide beam and 3 output settings. The way the light's LED head is designed reduces the size the light could be for a light using 2x 18650. The kicker is the light can be had for $200 on Leisurepro/Adorama. I highly recommend it for this price.

hi,
I'm curious, can this be installed on the hot shoe of the G15, so I don;t have to buy another arm for my camera, since I am already using an Inon strobe on my left side.

Just get a shoe mount.

So after several dives with this light, I'm extremely pleased with it. I'm using Panasonic-based 3400mah protected 18650 batteries and I'm getting really good run time with them. I've ordered a 2nd light, again for $199. Itorch updated their Pro5 to the Pro5+, which is the same design, and their kit includes the YS mount and batteries, but it goes for over $400. You can't go wrong with the Fantasea, especially for the price.
