i am considering whether to get video lighting for my camcorder. the maker supplies two 50w halogens, or i can use 20w lamps .....

this was our conversation:
(QUESTION) is it practical to only turn on one light, say for a night dive, - or
should i really plan on using one of your 20w spots for this?
(ANSWER) If you are talking about using one light in place of a diving light for a night dive, the standard 50 watt bulb would most likely be too bright for your liking. If you are only using it to turn on and off during video recording, the 50 watt bulb would work fine. I can switch out one of the 50 watt bulbs with a 20 watt bulb....

SO -
how much will i spook the critters when turning on video lights (day or night)? i can imagine diving a reef at night using my divelight then switching on the video light only to find i have spooked the subject.....

anyone with any experiences?
