SeaLife's New Sea Dragon Duo 10K+ Color Boost Underwater Photo-Video Light Set

The light set’s revolutionary Color Boost feature enhances colors underwater.

The 5000+ lights offer a 90 CRI (color rendering index) with a proprietary 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 to produce natural and colorful still images and videos.

This involves black as an element in a color photo and can include images with a black background and colorful foreground, or black silhouettes against a colorful background, or elements of black on a colorful subject or in a colorful underwater reefscape... as long as black plays an artistic part or is a complementary color in a color photo.
