Press Release.

STRYKR Video is a sophisticated and bright modular LED light head designed to work with underwater video and HDSLR cameras. The STRYKR Video is built around a 700-lumen LED bulb and specially designed lens, which provides an extremely even and surprisingly intense flood of light. There are three levels of power available to the photographer. The color temperature of the light is 5600K and the beam angle is 75 degrees. The STRYKR Video light head features a YS adapter to provide creative mounting options. The STRYKR Video is compatible with the full line of STRYKR batteries, cords and accessories.

To compliment the STRYKR Video light head, Watershot Inc. has designed two new batteries that enable a diver to burn two light heads at once. Both batteries are rated to 100 meters. The 4-cell battery will power two video heads for 1.5 hours on high power. The 8-cell battery will run two lights on high power for up to 3 hours.

The STRYKR Torch Video is basically identical to the STRYKR Torch Dive in design and battery power. It is rated to 100 meters and will burn for over two hours on high using the internal 3-cell battery. The Torch Video light features a sophisticated lens that provides a 75 degree flood of bright, even light from its 700-lumen bulb. The STRYKR Torch Video features a custom YS adapter to ensure that this light will work with almost any arm system. As with the Torch Dive, battery life can be extended by attaching an accessory battery.
