Backscatter Macro Wide 4300
If you’re diving with a camera, the Backscatter Macro Wide 4300 might just become your new favorite gear. This light is all about flexibility: it has a super-bright 4300-lumen wide beam for lighting up big scenes and a tight 1400-lumen beam for close-up shots, so you get the best of both worlds in one compact, rugged package.
Simple Controls and Easy Switching
The light’s wide beam is fantastic for capturing those sweeping underwater landscapes or big reef scenes—it’s bright enough to fill your shot without harsh shadows. Then, when you want to zero in on small details, like a shy fish or intricate coral patterns, just switch to the macro mode. Swapping between modes is surprisingly smooth, even underwater. It has a straightforward push-button control to change brightness settings (high, medium, low, and an SOS flash). The buttons are easy to press even with gloves on, which is great if you’re focused on getting the shot rather than fiddling with settings.
Battery Life That Lasts
Nothing kills the mood faster than a dying light mid-dive. Thankfully, the MW-4300 runs for about 90 minutes at full power—plenty of time to capture everything you need in a single dive or even across a couple of shorter ones. And if you don’t need the full blast of light, using it at lower brightness levels helps it last even longer.
True Colors, Less Editing
One of the best perks of the MW-4300 is how well it captures colors. Anyone who’s taken underwater photos knows that water absorbs light, especially red, and can leave your photos looking washed out. But this light is designed to bring those colors back to life, so your shots actually look as vibrant as the scenes you saw. If you’re not a fan of spending hours editing to fix dull colors, this light will be a huge help.
The Bottom Line
The Backscatter MW-4300 is a game-changer for anyone serious about underwater photography. It’s powerful, easy to use, and built like a tank. If you want a light that can handle everything from wide-angle reef shots to close-up macro details, this one does it all. Dive in, light it up, and get ready to capture the underwater world in vivid, true-to-life colors. This light just might be the best thing in your dive bag!
