Kraken Spectrum 25000
Ultra-Bright, Adjustable Color Underwater Video Light
The Kraken Spectrum 25000 is a purpose-built underwater video light for serious content creators who want full control over color without using external filters. Sitting at the top of the Kraken video lights range, it delivers up to 25,000 lumens with three selectable colour temperatures — 5600K, 8000K, and 16,000K — so you can match artificial light to the natural ambient water colour directly at the source.
Instead of adding an ambient filter in front of the light (and losing power), the Spectrum builds the “ambient filter look” into the beam itself. At 5600K (15,000 lumens) you get true daylight for natural skin tones and reef colour; 8000K (25,000 lumens) gives maximum output with a slightly cooler tone for bright shallows; and 16,000K (15,000 lumens) blends seamlessly with blue water at depth. This makes it an ideal Kraken dive light for wide-angle reef scenes, wreck cinematography, big-animal encounters, and ambient-balanced shots where fixed-temperature Kraken lights often fall short.
- What it is: a 25,000-lumen, 120° flood kraken video light with three selectable colour temperatures (5600K / 8000K / 16,000K) and built-in ambient colour control.
- Best for: wide-angle video, reef and wreck cinematography, big-animal shoots, and ambient-balanced footage; not ideal if you only need a small focus light or basic torch.
- Key compatibility: works with standard 1" ball or YS mounts, Kraken’s RC02 remote for dual-light control, and the FB02 float collar for neutral-buoyancy rigs; suitable for mirrorless, DSLR, and action-camera housings.
- Important limitations: requires a tray/arm rig (not a handheld torch), weighs 1410 g on land (≈ 620 g underwater), and run time depends on mode — about 60 minutes at 15,000 lumens and 30 minutes at 25,000 lumens from the 8 × 21700 cell pack.
Extreme Brightness for Challenging Dives
With up to 25,000 lumens of output, the Spectrum 25000 generates intense, wide-flood illumination even in deep, dark reefs or wreck environments. Expect consistent, powerful light that penetrates water and reveals rich color where ambient light fails.
- Strong enough for wide-angle video, night dives, and deeper reefs.
- Better color visibility and contrast on low-light dives.
- Helps reduce video noise by enabling lower ISO underwater.
Adjustable Color Temperature
The Spectrum 25000 allows divers to vary color temperature without using physical filters—ideal for adapting to different underwater conditions. Whether coral reefs, wrecks, or blue-water dives, you can dial in the right warmth or coolness for true-to-life color.
- 5600K (15,000 lumens): True daylight for accurate skin tones and natural reef colour
- 8000K (25,000 lumens): Maximum output with a slightly cooler tone for bright shallow water
- 16,000K marine ambient (15,000 lumens): Blends artificial light with blue ambient light at depth.
- No need for external filters — simplifies gear setup.
- Consistent light output across the chosen temperature range.
Perfect for…
- Wide-angle video on deep reef or wreck dives
- Night dives or low-visibility dives needing strong flood light
- Dives where adjustable light temperature improves color accuracy (coral reefs, mixed-light, twilight)
- Professional/photo-video work where a powerful, stable light is essential
- Dive operators or instructors needing reliable lighting for group/video use
-
