SeaLife Announces Sea Dragon 3000F Photo-Video Light with Color Boost
By Ian Bongso-Seldrup, November 14, 2023 @ 06:00 AM (EST)

Next up in SeaLife’s raft of product announcements during DEMA is the new Sea Dragon 3000F photo-video light featuring the company’s “Color Boost” mode. The patent-pending technology, first appearing on their Sea Dragon 5000+ photo-video light, reduces the color temperature of the light—from 5000K to 3,700K—adding extra warmth to provide a balancing effect.

Depth-rated to 330 feet (100 meters), the Sea Dragon 3000F boasts a number of useful features: a power dial that allows brightness adjustment from 300 to 3,000 lumens; a red-light stealth mode, which avoids spooking animals sensitive to bright light and can be used for night dives; and emergency signal modes, which flash a SOS signal or 1-second blinking light at full brightness for 20-plus hours.

Like all of the photo-video lights in the SeaLife catalogue, the Sea Dragon 3000F is mounted using SeaLife’s proprietary Flex-Connect mounting system, and comes with a Flex-Connect single mounting tray and a Flex-Connect grip. With the included 25W Li-ion removable battery pack fully charged, the light runs at full power for an hour.

Available in December, the Sea Dragon 3000F will retail for $500.

SeaLife Introduces Sea Dragon 3000 Color Boost™ Photo-Video Light

MOORESTOWN, NJ - SeaLife is introducing their new compact Sea Dragon 3000F Color Boost™ Photo-Video light. The light features a high-performance COB LED array, delivering 3000 lumens in a smooth 120° wide beam. The light offers a 90 CRI (color rendering index) that replicates natural sunlight (A CRI of 100 would be just like natural sunlight). With the addition of the newly patent pending SeaLife Color Boost mode, the light adds vivid colors to underwater photos and video. The Sea Dragon 3000F is depth tested to 330 feet (100 meters).

The Sea Dragon 3000 powers on at 3000 lumens of white light at 5000k (Kelvin) color temperature. When the SeaLife Color Boost is activated, the color temperature warms to 3700k, replenishing lost red for a balanced and colorful effect.

A large, knurled dial allows the user to quickly power on the light and smoothly adjust brightness from 300 to 3000 lumens without steps or sudden changes in light intensity. A simple push of the dial, switches the light from white-only to Color Boost mode. The light also offers a red-only stealth mode, which uses two red LEDs used for night dives without scaring sea creatures sensitive to bright light.

The Sea Dragon 3000 also features emergency signal modes that will flash a SOS signal or 1-second blinking light for 20+ hours at full brightness intensity.

The 3000F Color Boost™ is lighter and smaller than its 5000+ Color Boost™ sibling and uses SeaLife’s proprietary 2-cell 3400 mAh lithium-ion battery. The light’s mounting system features Sealife’s Flex-Connect, which adapts easily to all popular mounting standards.

The Sea Dragon 3000F Color Boost™, with its powerful 25W Li-ion removable battery pack (included), will power the light for 1 hour at full power. The light also includes Flex-Connect grip and single mounting tray, AC battery charger with international plug adapters, protective travel case, and spare O-rings and silicone lube.

The Sea Dragon 3000 Color Boost™ Light will be available at SeaLife dealers in December 2023.
