Reduced-output recycling
Keep the output setting with the time figure
The retailer states 0.6-second recycling at GN22. That conditional figure is useful for planning shooting pace without claiming the same speed at full output.
The Lightning model with Mark II identification
This Sea & Sea YS-D3 Lightning listing pictures a unit marked Mark II. It is an underwater photographic strobe with an aiming light and visual and audible feedback.
Who this suits
It is worth considering if recycling behavior at reduced output matters to your shooting. The retailer specifies 0.6-second recycling at guide number 22. That figure belongs to that stated output, so it should not be relabeled as the full-power recycling time.
Keep guide-number conditions visible
The published guide number is 33 measured on land. Comparisons need the same measurement conditions and output setting; a land guide number is not a direct underwater illumination distance. The aiming light is also a separate function from the flash exposure.
Check the model generation
Match Lightning and the pictured Mark II identification when comparing another listing. The YS-D3 DUO is a different model, and its RC feature should not be assumed from the shared D3 family name.
What the specification supports
The useful established details are the output rating with its land condition, reduced-output recycling figure and feedback features. Confirm the camera trigger, connections and exact accessory package for the setup before buying additional parts.
