Universal. Reliable. Good price

Over 400 dives on a pair of Kraken 5000. No questions asked. Ideal for wide-angle and macro photography. They are compact but give off a lot of light. The double O-ring is a nice feature. If I couldn't charge my old flashlights between dives, they would go out on dive #2. With them I just change the batteries between dives. In fact, me and my buddies are now using the Kraken Light.

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Annoying

Reliable and durable

I've been using my flashlight at 5k almost every night for the past 2 years. We have a resort and were looking for a light that would help us capture video. Light has proven to be much more versatile than just video light. Our guests also use them for their compact cameras. The light quality seems much brighter than 5k and the flashlight comes with red to help your camera focus and blue for fluorescence photography! Batteries are also inexpensive, so backup power won't disrupt you. .Easy to use

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Slightly torn

Excellent light, poor electronics reliability

This review is for the newer version of these 5000+ lights. I didn't buy them from Revain, I bought them from another high quality national store. The main unit failed between 6 and 12 hours of use on both lamps, rendering them unusable during a particular safari dive. I gave them two stars because they were beautiful lights when they worked, no rings, shadows or artifacts in the beam at all, a very nice white soft light. I can also say that they are very nicely designed and the devices…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No automation

Incredible customer service and great product

I bought a Kraken 5000, received it, checked the unit and the main light went out. I contacted Revain support via live chat, they were very helpful and helped me to solve the problem, but unfortunately the item had a technical issue. Revain put me in contact with the Kraken team and said their service and aftercare was impressive. that's an understatement. Super fast, super helpful and problem completely solved in less than 24 hours. Thanks to the Kraken team, your products are great and so are

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors
