High-performance 3000 Lumen Underwater Photo-Video Light with Color Boost
The Sea Dragon underwater photo-video light delivers 3000 lumens in a 120° wide beam without hotspots. A 90 CRI (color rendering index) COB LED array simulates natural sunlight, allowing the user to capture vibrant colors and sharp details in underwater photos and videos.
The new patent pending SeaLife Color Boost™ mode combines specific red and white light frequencies, producing a warm and vibrant underwater color effect. Red is the first color in the visible light spectrum filtered out by water. The light’s Color Boost feature replenishes the lost red for a balanced, warm color effect.
The new dial design delivers fast, intuitive power and brightness control. Rotate to power on/off and adjust brightness. Push the dial to switch between Color Boost and white light modes. Brightness can be smoothly and evenly adjusted from 300 to 3000 lumens without steps or clicks. Adjusting the brightness in Color Boost mode maintains the color temperature of 3900K.
The light can be used as an emergency signaling device by pushing the dial down for 5 seconds. Push and release the dial will switch between SOS, Blinking and Red-only modes. The red-only mode is useful for night dives, so you won’t scare off light-sensitive sea creatures. The SOS and Blinking modes has a 20+ run time with full battery charge. Rotate the dial all the way counterclockwise to exit emergency signal mode and power off the light.
Includes a powerful 3400 mAh Li-ion battery with protected circuitry delivers 60-minute run time at full power. Includes Flex-Connect grip and tray for mounting to any camera with standard ¼-20 tripod threads. Easy to expand with Flex-Connect™ system of trays, grip and Flex Arm.

*CRI is a measure of a light source’s ability to show object colors “realistically” or “naturally” compared to daylight, which has a CRI of 100 and represents the maximum value.
The beam angles for the Sea Dragon lights are shown as the true, tested “in-air” (above water) beam angle. Underwater, due to light refraction, the angle tightens to approximately 33% less.
Avoid using this Sea Dragon light above water for prolonged periods of time. The light is designed for underwater use and water is needed to displace heat. The metal light head at full power will reach temperature of about 140F (60C) degrees within a few minutes, which may cause burning if touched. A thermal sensor will automatically dim the light if internal temperatures reaches 150F (65C) degrees. Immediately turn off light if any parts of the light become hot to the touch.
