Keldan Dive 8S 8000lm CRI82 Modular Dive Light
Ultra-powerful 8,000-lumen dive light with a wide 1:12 power range
The Keldan Dive 8S 8000lm CRI82 is a remarkably small, ultra-powerful dive light built on Keldan's modular platform. Its LED bulb delivers excellent daylight-quality illumination at 5,000 K with CRI 82, and a regulated drive means you always get maximum performance regardless of how far the battery has discharged. Five variable power settings span a wide 1:12 brightness range — from a gentle 600 lm for long burns up to the full 8,000 lm. The air-travel-legal 99 Wh battery and 200 m housing make it ready for serious diving anywhere, and because it shares the modular system you can swap in different LED modules and reflectors.
Consider the Dive 8S 8000lm CRI82 if you:
- Want one of the smallest, most powerful dive lights at this output
- Need a wide 1:12 power range — from a 12-hour low burn up to 8,000 lm
- Value regulated output that stays constant as the battery drains
- Want an air-travel-legal battery (UN38.3 / under 100 Wh) and a modular body

Why the Dive 8S 8000lm
LED bulb with regulated variable power
The LED bulb gives excellent daylight-quality illumination at 5,000 K with CRI 82. Five variable power settings range from 7 to 90 W, and the output is regulated so you always get maximum performance regardless of the battery's state of charge.
Wide 1:12 brightness range
From a frugal 600 lm that burns for up to 12 hours, right up to a full 8,000 lm at 60,000 cd — one light covers everything from extended exploration to high-output spotting.
Small and lightweight
At just 7.2 cm across and 26 cm long, the Dive 8S is among the smallest lights on the market for its power. It adds only 0.38 kg in the water.
Tough, modular design
The LED cannot break and has an almost unlimited lifetime. Integrated over-temperature protection limits power to keep the housing within a safe range for use in air, and the modular head accepts different LED modules and reflectors.
Travel-safe Li-Ion battery with charge display
The 99 Wh battery has passed the mandatory UN38.3 test required by IATA and sits below the 100 Wh limit, certifying it for air transport. A protection circuit guards against over-discharge, deep discharge, over-current and short circuit, and a two-digit display shows remaining runtime.

Compatible LED modules
The Dive 8S shares Keldan's modular system, so you can swap the LED module to re-task the light — for example to the High Density module for a tighter, brighter spot.
Reflectors
Change the beam by changing the reflector. The 12° spot reflector is designed for the High Density module; the 50° and 90° reflectors widen the beam.
