Kraken Abyss 6000 Underwater Video Light
Compact, powerful, wide and even beam—purpose-built for serious underwater video.
The Kraken Abyss 6000 is designed for underwater shooters who want predictable output, clean beam geometry, and direct physical control—without RGB modes or hybrid strobe features complicating the workflow. In our experience setting these up on mirrorless and compact video rigs, the 6000-lumen output is well matched to wide-angle and macro video where consistency matters more than peak lumen claims. Among current Kraken video lights, the Abyss 6000 prioritizes usable light over spec-sheet excess.
The domed lens produces a wide, even beam with soft falloff, which helps avoid edge clipping and uneven exposure when shooting at shorter working distances. This is especially noticeable on macro video, where narrow beams tend to create hot centers. The new precision power dial allows fine, repeatable brightness adjustments—something technical shooters appreciate when balancing ISO, aperture, and shutter without breaking shot continuity.
- Best for: Video-first shooters, macro and wide-angle filming, compact and mirrorless housings.
- Not for: Users expecting TTL-style automation, color effects, or strobe/video hybrid behavior.
- 6000-lumen white output designed for stable exposure control.
- Wide, smooth beam minimizes hotspot management in post.
- Physical power dial enables precise output matching between dual lights.
- Support note: A common pre-sale question is whether this functions like a focus/strobe combo—this Kraken Dive Light is a dedicated continuous video light with no flash or color modes by design.
Perfect for…
- Single-light wide-angle video on compact systems
- Dual-light setups for mirrorless video housings
- Travel shooters prioritizing weight and balance
- Reef, diver, and medium-subject illumination
