Hello!
I am prepping for a trip to Bonaire and want to add some video lights to help my TG6 capture more color in both still and video- mostly macro, coral, and the dark areas under rocky overhangs. I've got a cheap Nitescuba V20 (2,000 lumens, 110 degree beam) but it doesn't do a whole lot and I'd like to add another light. My question is whether it would be better to add another 2,000 lumen light, or go up to a 5,000 lumen light (I'm thinking about the Orcatorch D910v). Would it be too unbalanced to use 2 different strength lights or create shadows? Are two 2,000 lumen lights enough to light things close up, or is one 5,000 light better? Thanks for any and all opinions!
