It's a video light that works like a strobe: the Sola X Video Hybrid 10,000 Lumen Underwater Video Light from Light & Motion emits a bright, sustained beam for capturing video content, but it can also issue bursts as fast as 1/200th second for photos. The beam angle ranges from 115° to 12° with dry-swappable optics. This 328' depth-rated light emits up to 10,000 lumens continuous and 20,000 lumens peak burst with no distracting hot spots or harsh edges, regulated for consistent performance throughout the charge, and it can even stay in continuous video mode while triggering bursts for photos. You'll need a fiber optic cable from your camera or housing to use the flash-style bursts.

The Sola X Video Hybrid can provide 15,000 full-power bursts on a single charge. Charge status indicator lights show how much power you have left. Continuous light runtime ranges from 40 minutes to 12 hours depending on output level. There's a lockout mode to prevent accidental activation while in transit and an SOS mode in case you run into trouble.

Depth Rating: 328'    10,000-Lumen Bursts at 30 fps    20,000-Lumen Max Burst    12, 36, 60, 115°, Beam Angles    Regulated for Consistent Brightness    45-Minute Runtime on High Power    Recharges in 80 Minutes

Effortlessly switch between 20,000 lumens burst or 10,000 continuous light with a simple user dial and fiber optic trigger.

The Sola X's swappable batteries recharge in 80 minutes with a 60-watt charger; a 30-watt charger is included. A single charge can fire 10,000 full-power bursts at 30 fps or deliver 40 minutes at 10,000 lumens continuous. Grab an optional second battery for shorter surface intervals.

Sola X offers the flexibility to shoot macro or wide angle with its range of modifiers, delivering light in 12,36, 60, and 115° beam angles (measured in water). A 60° optic delivers twice the lux on the subject compared to the dome at 115°.

Q: 10. Can I use this with my Olympus OM D camera?

A: you can use this with any camera, it is not camera specific. It is NOT a flash device. It is more like a flashlight, you turn it on and illuminate your scene, then turn it off. It can be mounted on the flash shoe of a camera, but is ON or OFF, ie, does not sync with flash. I use mine on a small gorillapod to add a bit of light to what I am shooting.
