Hi everyone,
I currently have 2 Sea&sea YS-01 with my rig (shooting with a sony A6500) and I'm pretty happy with them for stills. I do macro and wide, I would sometimes love a bit more power output for the wide angle stuff but it's pretty rare.
I am considering buying 1 or 2 lights on top of that, with the following purpose:
- Stop renting a ****** dive light every time I do a night dive
- Have a better focus light than what the YS-01 offer, I find their beam too narrow
- Start taking some videos, I assume mostly macro or relatively close things as I don't have the budget for a lot of power output (and I don't want something too heavy too)
I feel like for a given brand, doubling the power output = doubling the price. Do you guys agree that it is better to get 2 lights with a lower output rather than one powerful one?
I would like to spend max 250/300 usd on this. I'm considering 2 Archnon D34V (2600 lumens), do you think it's a good idea for my purpose? With such a power output, how far can I be from what I'm filming (without loosing all the effect of the lights obviously)?
Many thanks!
