Question Are the Chinese video lights from Amazon any good?

[encrustingacro]

I've been thinking of upgrading my lighting for my underwater photos. Currently, I have some cheap 2000 lumen video lights from Amazon. However, I am not satisfied with the brightness of these lights. The prices for strobes are very expensive, which puts me off from buying them. I have been looking these video lights from Amazon, which are substantially cheaper than name-brand video lights of the same brightness. I know that off-brand Amazon products can be of lower quality, but they do seem tempting. Do these lights actually produce 12k lumens like advertised and are these lights prone to leaking? Or should I just save up for some strobes?​

I have been happy with orcatorch as well as kraken. Just took the kraken to Mexico in the cenotes, it’s a video light, the dm commented on how bright it was (not sure if this was a good or bad thing). The orcatorch was also significantly brighter than the big blue she was running.
