About SeaLife Sea Dragon 4500 Auto UW Photo-Video Light Head
The Sea Dragon 4500 Photo-Video Light is the perfect photo/video light for optimal underwater colors with an extremely high color rendering index of 96* and a delightfully natural TLCI** (TV lighting index) of 97. The Sea Dragon 4500 Photo Video Light delivers 4500 lumens in an even 120° wide beam above water and 90° underwater. The 4500 light offer an unmatched 96 CRI (color rendering index) with its proprietary COB (Chip-On-Board) LED array that closely simulates natural sunlight (A CRI of 100 would be just like outdoor daylight). Most other LED lights offer a much lower CRI, missing critical colors necessary produce natural and colorful still images and videos. The Sea Dragon 4500 Auto Photo-Video light, with its unique COB LED, not only offer a high CRI, it also delivers a TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) value of over 97. With 100 being the highest possible TLCI value, lights producing more than 90 TLCI are acceptable for capturing true, natural colors with television studio cameras making the Sea Dragon 4500 the perfect light for brilliant and colorful underwater video. Light has a 5600°K color temperature and 35,000 hours lamp life expectancy.
The Sea Dragon 4500 light also offers impressive still image results and can be used as a primary source of light. Should you want to add a strobe, the 4500 light feature Auto Flash Detect mode, which cancels the light for one second when a strobe is fired. The Sea Dragon 4500 brightness can be adjusted manually or automatically with the lights' built-in photocell light sensor. The Auto Bright mode automatically adjusts from 450 to 4500 lumens based on proximity to the subject, helping to preserve your eye's natural night vision and extends battery life. The light can also be manually adjusted to 100%, 75%, 50% or 25% brightness.
Adjusting and directing your lighting is easy with the Sea Dragon 4500, with an optional Flex-Connect tray, along with Flex-Connect grip and Flex-Connect flex arm. This offers the user many lighting options, and the system is ready for further expansion with other lights, strobe or additional flex arms. There simply hasn't been a photo/video light with this level of performance in the underwater imaging market; the light will be a vital component for advanced amateurs and professionals to capture vibrant, natural colors.
Part of the Sea Dragon's impressive performance is its powerful 50W 3400mAh lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack, that runs the light for 60 minutes at full power and 4-hours at 25% power. Battery pack charge time is 2 hours 15 minutes. Light with its dual NBR O-ring seals is depth rated to 330' (100 meters).

* 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 possible value. ** TLCI is a standard used in the television broadcast industry to measure the color quality of studio lights. The Lights with TLCI greater than 90 are considered to be optimal for television cameras requiring no post-production color correction. 100 is the highest possible TLCI value. 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 140°F (60°C) degrees within a few minutes, which may cause burning if touched. A thermal sensor will automatically dim the light if internal temperatures reaches 150°F (65°C). Immediately turn off light if any parts of the light become hot to the touch.
