Hi all,
I'm looking to buy my first primary & secondary lights. While I'm still a novice diver, I have already fallen in love w/UW Photography. So I guess, I should be going for (at least for my primary) "white" lights instead, right?
What are the things that I need to look at when buying a lights. Should I go for one that will give me a wider beam instead of a focused one? And how many watts do I really need. Also, could someone just briefly explain what the difference between xenon, LED, halide, halogen ...
With that said, what are my options and what would you guys recommend to buy. Besides being a white light, pls also take things like maintanence cost into the consideration. And how much should I really be looking at to spend? To me, I wouldn't really want to spend more than US$130 on the primary. But again, I'm not sure whether I'm being realistic.
Cheers, Chocolate
