1.0 out of 5 stars Too little light, April 10, 2005

I should have known that at only 3 watts this would be insufficient for my needs. I find it virtually useless, it puts out so little light. After realizing my error, I purchased the SL-8, which has two lamps, 10 watts and 20 watts each, which allows you to select settings of 10 and 30 watts, or 20 and 30 watts, depending upon how the lamps are installed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Won't stay on, January 12, 2004

Don't bother with this light. I am returning it and spending the extra few bucks to get the Canon. The light is constantly varying as I move the camera, and sometimes it flickers off. I was able to make it stay on if I held the camera at certain angles, but that's useless. Reminds me of one of those super-cheap flashlights that you have to constantly shake.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent light, cheap batteries, January 4, 2005

The problem with the is light isn't the light itself, it's the cheap foreign batteries they include with it. They hold a charge for about 2 seconds. If you put in decent NIMH batteries, you'll find the light to be brighter and last longer.
