eh, ask you guys ah, the Q40 eLED and the standard Q40, which is brighter? seems like the standard one is brighter, but i'm confused liao now... i only know standard one has a yellowish beam, while the eLED one has a white beam?...

 

[Yvonne]

hmmm....models got very good figures one leh. If you are taking about capturing a hippo underwater, maybe I can help on that. Anyway I went to get my Q40 LED liao...hehehe will see how useful this new toy will be.

I think the LED one is better leh. I've both. In two weeks time I'll tell you how the LED one perform underwater.
I was at the dive shop the other day ah, the uncle showed me one UK torch which uses a HID bulb. Damn solid ah! And the tag on this baby is $300+

I think you are talking about UK Light Cannon. btw.. how much you bought the Q40 e LED ? me thinking of getting the Princeton Tec LED.

The torch serves as a good budgeted alternative for use with photograhy.

However, I personally do not like to use them. Bcos I find that most fishes generally do not like white light and tend to shy away which make compostion of the photo difficult.

I also find that its insufficient for macro if you are using the lowest apenture (esp F8 and above).

And for wide angle, the torch does not give enu coverage.

Moreover, I find that normally u need to use a low shuttle speed when using such lights. It might give you the fake "white" light, but not the bright light a strobe can offer you.

For the price of Longbow, I might as well get the Epoque. pay extra for tray, arm and optic cable, will get a nice budget setup.

FYI Lonbow is not a dive torch. Just so happens that it's depth rated. The lens is plastic not glass.
