Have you found something effective for the lighting yet?

@joesmoe71 Not yet, I haven't work on the problem in awhile, but I plan on going back to halogen bulbs with some type of diffuser lens over them so the light isn't as direct and doesn't blow out the camera image.

@HBRdesigns How do the halogen lights blow out the image? Is the actual surface you're filming blown out, or is it debris in the water reflecting the light back that blows the image out? If it's the latter, moving the lights farther from the lens might be your solution.

@Zoidberg227 It blows out the surface (bottom) that I'm filming, The bulbs I was using were like a direct spot light. Next year I plan on trying different bulbs as well as some high intensity led setups to see if that will help.

These days you can get LEDs that are over 1 watt in power, have you tried anything that powerful?
