Product Information
The Sea Dragon 5000+ with Color Boost (model SL680) is an underwater photo-video light from SeaLife that delivers 5000 lumens of continuous output, with a 6000-lumen setting for a 2-minute boost, through a 120-degree beam that narrows to 90 degrees underwater, powered by a 14.8V, 3400mAh, 50Wh Li-ion battery and depth tested to 330 feet (100 meters).
Who it is for
This light is built for underwater photographers and videographers who want a single, continuous light source with natural-looking color rendering.

An Advanced Mode unlocks additional brightness settings and further Color Boost options, while an Easy Mode offers 5 simpler brightness settings for quick use.
