Continuous underwater lights for photography and diving

Underwater lights supply a steady beam instead of a flash. They are used for general illumination, guiding during dives, and supporting cameras in low-light conditions.

Some models produce a narrow beam for signalling or exploring structures. Others provide wide coverage that suits close-focus video and still imaging.

Key considerations when choosing underwater lights

Different designs vary in beam angle, brightness, and burn time. These technical factors define how the light performs for diving or imaging tasks.

Wide-beam video lights ensure even subject coverage

Types of underwater lights and their applications

Dive lights with narrow beams are common for general use and orientation. A focused beam can highlight details on a reef wall or inside a wreck passage.

Video lights produce broad and uniform coverage. Focus lights, by contrast, create a smaller area of stable illumination for camera autofocus.

Practical usage in underwater photography and videography

Photographers often use focus lights to assist autofocus on small subjects. For instance, the eye of a shrimp can be lit precisely while leaving the rest darker.

Videographers rely on wide-beam lights to maintain colour balance. These lamps are usually mounted with trays & arms to integrate them into an underwater camera setup.
