I previously found a few LED light distributors on rednote, and I believe I also follow the manufacturer of this particular model. On rednote, I purchased two 12,000mAh canister batteries and one LED light from another manufacturer for $600. Each battery has two outputs, two toggle switches, and a BO cable.
The advantage of their products is that everything can be customized, and the flow can be controlled through the battery switch to heat the undergarment.
Their products seem to be very good, but I'm planning to do more detailed testing before making any recommendations.
 
I'm considering getting a few of these cheap video lights to use as remote light sources to photograph some deep, dark wreaks in poor vis waters (i.e. onboard flash just lights up the near-camera backscatter).

I haven't read every single post in this thread, but is there any consensus on which brands are preferred (i.e. better made buttons or just easier online shop to deal with)? Any to avoid at all costs?

Also - I am assuming '15,000 to 25,000 lumens' claims actually mean around 4000-5000 in reality. Let me know if you have found different for better or worse.

Cheers,
Rohan.
the most reliable brand Ive owned is Big Blue - others have not had the same joy I have experienced -literally done over 600 dives with it -and no problems
