Kraken Hydra 2500 WRU Underwater Video & Fluorescence Light – Macro Edition

The Kraken Hydra 2500 WRU Macro Edition is a versatile underwater light designed for photographers and videographers who want a single light for macro photography, underwater video, fluorescence diving, and creative lighting. With a bright 2,500-lumen continuous flood beam, a 4,000-lumen burst mode, and built-in red, blue, and pink lighting modes, it's an excellent companion for capturing vibrant marine life and experimenting with unique lighting techniques.

Key Features

Hybrid Video and Macro Photography Light

The Hydra 2500 WRU combines the convenience of a continuous video light with a powerful burst mode for still photography. When connected via a fiber optic cable, the light automatically switches from its constant output to a high-powered burst, producing enough light for many macro photography applications without requiring a traditional strobe.

Multiple Lighting Modes

Choose from several lighting options depending on your subject and shooting style:

• White Flood
• Red Light
• Blue Light
• Pink Light (Red + Blue)

These colored beams are useful for reducing disturbance to marine life, fluorescence photography, or adding dramatic side and back lighting to underwater scenes.

Remote Control Ready

Compatible with the optional Kraken Remote Control, allowing you to adjust up to two lights without taking your hands off your tray handles. This is especially useful when filming moving subjects or making quick exposure adjustments underwater.

Designed for Macro Photography

The "Macro Edition" includes features specifically for close-up work:

• Fiber optic burst synchronization
• Optional condensing lens compatibility for narrowing the beam to approximately 20°
• Powerful burst illumination for tiny subjects
• Excellent focus light performance

Water-Resistant Head

Kraken designed the light head to be water resistant. If the battery compartment accidentally floods, the light head is protected, often reducing repair costs to simply replacing the battery instead of the entire light.
