hey there,
i was planning to buy the ammonite as my first real divelight. however a friend offered me a divelight; the sola 1200 just for 300 euros.
which one is better? looking a price/kwality? en why?
Sola 1200 videolight
+cheaper (just 300 euros)
+ compact
+ flexible (i also can use it as a videolight when filming underwater)
- if i make 2 dives i need to put it on 50% to save enough battery (is 600 lumens enough for a proper divelight?)
Lumens
(Flood 60°/Spot 12°):
High- 1200 / 500
Med- 600 / 250
Low- 300 / 125
Run Time (Flood/Spot):
High- 70 / 110 Min
Med- 140 / 220 Min
Low- 280 / 440 Min
Charge Time:
150 Minutes (2A)
Size & Weight:
56mm x 104mm &
254 gr w/out mount
Ammonite prime met 2,5 accu (600 euro)
+stronger light
+more battery
-2 times as expensive (600 maybe i can get it for 500)
