I'm looking for recommendation for a focusing/spotter light to attach to my Flex Arm Ikelike AF35 strobe.

I looked at the Fantasea Nano light with the 2 AAA batteries but consider it too small. Looking for something with more energy and a wide beam and that will attach to the FlexArm.

Adam;

There's a couple of lights that would work for you;

The new Fantasea LED 360 Light; similar to the older LED 44, it's about as bright as the Nano (3 watt) but has a much broader beam. It now also has the blink on/off feature during exposure and a deeper depth rating, as well as an emergency flash mode.

One of the best new focus lights I've seen is the Big Blue 1x5. Aluminum body, magnetic switch, blink on/off feature, wide beam without hotspot. Really nice build quality, a bit long though. Problem is that is only comes with a ball mount, not sure that would work for you. I do have a mount that would work on a "hotshoe" type mount on the housing.

Thank you. I think the Fantasea 360 is what I'm looking for. 4 AA cells sounds just right for a dive light. I ordered one from your storefront.

The other one you mentioned, the Big Blue, has a bullet shape that would make it difficult to attach to the FlexArm, and the Fantasea Nano has only 2 AAA cells, much too anemic.
