The Light Cannon 100 is one of the heavy duty entrants in the underwater, dive-light category. The light utilizes HID lighting technology and can be attached the to your underwater camera housing using a ball-joint arm system.
'High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting technology replaces the filament of the light bulb with a capsule of gas. The light is emitted from an arc discharge between two closely spaced electrodes hermetically sealed inside a small quartz glass tubular envelope capsule. To operate, they require ballasts, which supply proper voltage and control current. The amount of light produced is greater than a standard halogen bulb, while consuming less power, and more closely approximating the color temperature of natural daylight.'
