Unparalleled Brightness and Illumination

At the heart of the Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ lies its impressive brightness and illumination prowess. Equipped with not one, but two powerful 5000+ lumen wide beam COB LED light heads, this system delivers over 10,000 combined lumens of pure, natural-looking light. Leveraging the latest BridgeLux V18 COB LED technology, each light head is optimized for exceptional color reproduction, boasting a 90 Color Rendering Index (CRI) that mimics the hues and tones of natural daylight.

The dual-light design offers several key advantages over single-light setups. Firstly, the wide 120-degree beam angle ensures even, shadow-free illumination, eliminating hot spots and ensuring your subject is bathed in a consistent, natural glow. Secondly, the two-light configuration provides nearly twice the coverage area compared to a single light, making it ideal for capturing expansive underwater scenes or subjects with an ultra-wide field of view.

Versatile Color Temperature Control

One of the standout features of the Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ is its impressive color temperature control capabilities. Through the intuitive one-button operation, users can seamlessly toggle between a range of color temperatures, from a crisp 5000K to warmer, more vibrant hues of 4000K, 3700K, and even 2700K. This level of color customization allows you to fine-tune the lighting to suit the specific mood, environment, or creative vision of your underwater shots and videos.

Beyond the standard color temperature settings, the Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ also offers an advanced "Color Boost" mode, which further enhances the vibrancy and saturation of the illumination. Whether you're aiming for a dramatic, punchy look or a more natural, ambient feel, the Color Boost feature puts the power of color temperature adjustment right at your fingertips.

Uncompromising Runtime and Reliability

Sealife has engineered the Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ with the rigors of underwater photography in mind, ensuring uncompromising runtime and reliability. Each light head is powered by a removable 50Wh, 3400mAh lithium-ion battery, providing up to 60 minutes of continuous runtime at the maximum 5000-lumen output. And thanks to the regulated circuitry, the brightness remains constant, even as the battery drains, ensuring consistent illumination throughout your dive.

But the Sea Dragon Duo 10K+'s toughness extends beyond just the battery life. The light heads themselves are constructed with corrosion-proof aluminum, ensuring superior heat dissipation and long-term durability. Additionally, the waterproof battery compartment protects the internal electronics, safeguarding against accidental flooding - a crucial feature for any serious underwater photographer or videographer.

Seamless Expansion and Connectivity

The Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ is designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing underwater camera rig, thanks to its Flex-Connect system. This innovative modular approach allows you to quickly and easily expand your lighting setup by adding accessories like grips, flex arms, and additional trays. The included Flex-Connect Ultra Dual Tray provides a sturdy, adjustable platform for mounting the two light heads, and it features a standard 1/4-20 tripod thread for compatibility with a wide range of underwater camera housings and accessories.

But the Flex-Connect system's versatility extends beyond just the physical mounting. The Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ also includes a GoPro camera adapter, making it a breeze to integrate with your favorite action camera for capturing dynamic, first-person underwater footage.

Intuitive Operation and Safety Features

Sealife has designed the Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ with the user experience in mind, incorporating a simple, one-button control scheme for seamless operation. With a single press, you can power the lights on and off, as well as cycle through the various brightness and color temperature settings. This intuitive control system allows you to make quick, on-the-fly adjustments without fumbling with complex menus or buttons.

But the Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ isn't just about convenience - it also prioritizes safety. The lights feature an emergency mode that, when activated by holding the power button for 5 seconds, emits a blinking light or SOS signal to alert others of distress. This feature could prove invaluable in the event of an unexpected situation during your underwater adventures.

Uncompromising Depth Rating and Durability

Sealife has engineered the Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ to withstand the rigors of the underwater environment, with a depth rating of up to 330 feet (100 meters). This impressive depth capability ensures that the lights can accompany you on even the most ambitious deep-sea excursions, without fear of pressure-related damage or failure.

Comprehensive Accessory Kit

The Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ comes packaged with a comprehensive suite of accessories, ensuring that you have everything you need to get started on your underwater imaging adventures. In addition to the two powerful 5000+ lumen light heads, the kit includes a Flex-Connect Ultra Dual Tray, two ergonomic grips, two 50Wh 3400mAh lithium-ion batteries, and a GoPro camera adapter - all housed in a padded, protective "Pro Duo" case.

The included accessories further demonstrate Sealife's dedication to providing a complete, turnkey lighting solution. The Flex-Connect Ultra Dual Tray, for instance, not only serves as a sturdy mounting platform but also features a curved, boomerang shape that allows for seamless integration with wider underwater camera housings. The grips, meanwhile, enhance camera stability and control, ensuring smooth, steady footage even in the most challenging underwater environments.

Unparalleled Color Accuracy and Rendering

One of the most impressive aspects of the Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ is its ability to capture true-to-life, natural-looking colors underwater. This is largely thanks to the lights' exceptional 90 CRI (Color Rendering Index), which closely matches the color rendering of natural daylight. By faithfully reproducing the full spectrum of visible light, the Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ ensures that the vibrant hues and subtle nuances of your underwater subjects are rendered with stunning accuracy.

This color fidelity, combined with the lights' wide beam angle and consistent brightness, results in a level of image quality that truly sets the Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ apart from the competition. Underwater photographers and videographers can capture their subjects in a way that feels natural and lifelike, without the need for extensive post-processing or color correction.
