Videolamp recommendation

Hello,

I am currently configuring a setup for filming underwater videos and need your help.

The parts of the setup are as follows:

- Canon G7X + Canon Housing

- Tray for two ball arms

- two ball arms

- two video lamps

My goal is to make this setup as light as possible, while staying in a reasonable budget.

In this regard, I am unsure what video lamps to choose. Keldan and Weefine are way out of my budget. Can you recommend me something less pricey? Thank you!

Canon PowerShot G7 X

Take a look at the Sola line of lights from Light&Motion. I've linked their middle of the road light (2000 lumen), there is a less bright (1200 lumen) and a more bright (2500 lumen).  Then you would need a ball mount for the light, which I have also linked.

I take photos, not particularly good photos, mostly abstract photos. Yeah abstract is what I would call them, you might call them blurry.
