Godox has announced a new range of underwater LED lights. Named Godox Dive, there are two product ranges, one daylight and one RGBWW, each available in three sizes at 25cm, 40cm and 60cm in length. The WTD daylight models have a white balance of 5,600 Kelvin (+/- 300K), and the WTR RGBWW LED lights have a wide white balance range of 1,800K up to 10,000K – as well as the full complement of red, green and blue hues.

The lights are rated for underwater use up to a depth of 40 metres (131 feet), with easy-to-see fluorescent buttons to be easily seen and used in the depths when smartphone control obviously isn’t possible. They also provide a wide range of lighting effects – you know, for when you need those underwater fireworks and police chases.

The DigitalFoto Tree Frog is an awesome pocket LED light for small products and macro

Over the last few years, I’ve become a big fan of small pocket-sized LED lights. They used to not be as good as they are now, offering pretty limited functionality and they just didn’t produce great colour. But LED tech has come a long way since in a few short years, leading us to where we are today with products like the Digitalfoto Tree Frog.

I have two DigitalFoto Tree Frog lights that I’ve been using to light my 3D printer for live streams and for shooting small product photos and b-roll. We’re still in lockdown here, so that’s pretty much all I can point my cameras at right now. One of Tree Frogs I have is a pre-production model and the other is a final retail version. For this review, I’m only going to focus on the retail version.

Digitalofoto has just announced their new P7RGBPRO and P120 RGB tube LED lights. These bicolour RGB lights offer 36,000 possible RGB colours, with a white balance temperature of 3,000K to 5,700K with a claimed CRI of over 95. And like many other new lights today, you can control a bunch of them at once from an app on your smartphone.

But what makes them special is that they’re IP68 rated. This means that they’re resistant to dirt and dust, but you can also use them underwater to depths down to 1.5 metres for up to half an hour.
