How we calculate scores →About this gear
The Sea Dragon 5000+ is a continuous photo-video light with a warmer Color Boost setting. Normal output is 5,000 lumens; its 6,000-lumen setting is a temporary two-minute boost. It is most relevant to photographers working close enough for artificial light to affect the subject.
Consider before buying
DivePhotoGuide’s field review found the advanced button modes harder to track and noted the limits of illuminating larger wide-angle subjects. The publisher received equipment from SeaLife. The article contains useful field observations but no numeric overall rating.
Our take
Shortlist it for close subjects when the warmer setting and wide beam are useful. Do not buy on the temporary peak output alone. The Duo 10K+ packages two heads with mounting hardware; that is a separate kit, not a second name for this single light.
