Dispatched in 5 to 7 days
The SeaLife Sea Dragon 3000F Photo Video Light is the most powerful photo-video light in its size/weight class, delivering 3000 lumens in an even 120° wide beam.
The 3000 features SeaLife’s Auto Brightness, Flash Detect and two red LEDs for night diving. Each 3000-lumen light head is automatic, this means it will cancel for a brief moment when a flash or strobe is used, and can also be set to automatic brightness adjustment based on distance to the subject.
The SeaLife Sea Dragon 3000F Photo Video Light includes two 180-lumen RED LEDs allowing you to navigate in darkness without frightening elusive fish and animals, the red LEDs can also be set to auto flash/strobe mode.
The Sea Dragon 3000F emits a warm 5000K colour temperature and 80 CRI (colour rendering index), adding vibrant colours and brightness to your underwater pictures and videos.
Auto Flash Detect Mode & Auto Bright Mode The Sea Dragon 3000F Auto’s Auto Flash Detect Mode turns the light off for one second when an external flash is detected. This assures a well-lit photo and prevents shadows in your images. Auto Flash Detect Mode can also be turned off if this feature is not desired.
The Sea Dragon 3000F (The “F” stands for Flood beam) brightness can be adjusted manually or automatically with its built-in photocell light sensor.
The Auto Bright mode automatically adjusts from 300 to 3000 lumens based on proximity to the subject, helping to preserve your eye’s natural night vision and extending battery life. The light can also be manually adjusted to 100%, 50% or 25% brightness.
Red LED “Stealth Mode”
Two integrated 180-lumen red LEDs cast an 88° beam. At night or in caves or shadows, the red LEDs preserve your eye’s natural low light function, allowing you to see gauges and your surroundings.
At the same time, the red LEDs do not frighten fish like skittish reef fishes that disappear from bright underwater LED lights. The red LEDs are powerful enough to assist the camera’s auto focus and will turn off for 1 second when a Strobe/Flash is fired.

*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.
