The Kraken Hydra 1500+ wsr is a good first video light. It is compact, affordable and versatile. Fits easily in your hand or BCD pocket and is light enough to mount on a cold shoe. Between the small size and wide beam, spot beam, and red beam, it can be used as a small or backup video light, primary or backup dive light, or a focus light on a regular camera. Mine goes with me on every dive.
