UWLD and light monkey are US based, even if some components are imported

keldan advertises made in switzerland so they likely are doing final assembly there

Remove the lens and the regular light is a decent video light.

- 10° lens included (35° is available as optional purchase)
- 100°-120° beam without lens

I wouldn’t really put those much higher than the AliBaba ones in terms of quality

I have had good luck with nitescuba’s lights as well. The video light I use is their NSV60. Very wide angle beam so no hot spot and a pair has survived roughly 80 dives with no issues. Run time approx 40 min on high much longer on low. Use it with a go pro.

they look interesting. They are about $AUS 160 more than the $80 ones. Happy to spend a bit extra if they are constructed better. Have you any ideas if that is correct?
An Aussie store has them for $699 er! no thanks
