Recycle is fast. The difference from a dedicated strobe isn’t recycle speed — it’s flash duration. A xenon strobe fires in microseconds, which is what actually freezes motion. Burst mode fires longer than that, so very fast-moving subjects won’t be frozen as sharply. For macro work on slower subjects — nudibranchs, cleaning stations, coral detail — it works well and gives you a meaningful brightness spike over continuous light alone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCRI ~90:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eColors look the way they actually are — reds, oranges, and skin tones reproduce faithfully instead of washing out to the greenish cast common with lower-CRI LEDs.
