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

SeaLife

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.

Ebadon and Rising Seas: Building a Climate-Change Research Station

The distant northwestern Pacific island of Ebadon is one of the most pristine locations left on earth. It is also facing rapid and imminent destruction from increasing storm surge and overwash events driven by man-made climate change. The people of Ebadon, who contribute the least to climate change, will be among the first to be driven from their ancestral lands because of it. Photographer Lorenzo Moscia went to Ebadon to document the building of a climate-change research station and shares his experience there.
