How we calculate scores →About this gear
The hw Video is a wide-angle underwater video light built around a POM and aluminium housing. Its 170° beam and protected rotary control suit broad scene illumination rather than a tight signalling spot. The manufacturer distinguishes the LED’s nominal 8500 lumens from at least 5500 lumens measured from the light in an integrating sphere.
Consider before buying
The current runtime table lists four settings from 20 to 80 W, although the LED and promotional text refer to 85 W. Treat 45 minutes at the top setting and four hours at 20 W as manufacturer estimates. At 1.1 kg in air, the light adds substantial travel weight even though it is described as nearly neutral in fresh water.
Our take
Consider hw Video for a camera setup needing a very broad beam and protected controls. Its dedicated S4 Subtronic charging connection differs from hw40’s USB-C input. The Stingray Mark II Video Set is a two-light alternative to assess for coverage and mounting, not a directly equivalent output package. No exact-model independent overall rating was found.
