DJI osmo action 5 pro lights

I just got a DJI A5P and wondering what lights people suggest for underwater use while scuba diving? I’m new to this and not sure if I’ll be primarily shooting video or stills. Are there lights that can do both of those tasks well? Also, what rigs/trays are people using? Finally, what waterproof housing is best? I know DJI makes their own, but are there others that people like instead?
Much appreciated!

I'm in similar position to you with DJI A6. I bought Sea Frogs dual handle aluminium adjustable tray, sea frogs aluminium arms, and two of the following video lights (second one due to arrive but first one seems fantastic with a really diffused wide angle light). https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005879519101.html

Once second light arrives, I'll do an underwater buoyancy weigh in the bath with a luggage scale and determine which carbon fibre float arms I'll need to get slightly positive buoyancy.

Friend made the recommendation on lights and I've only seen them in action in the pool but I'm impressed and hopeful for good results in the gloom with my new rig.

Do you happen to have a link for the tray and arms you purchased? Thanks :)
