Kraken has the worst anodizing of any "quality" light I've used. Literally falling off despite rinsing regularly.
Did over 200 dives with a $500 5k lumen KRAKEN (made by SUPE) , and anodizing is still holding strong. Perhaps you a certain model from one of their different supplier…

Perhaps. It was one of their cheaper focus lights. Still works just ugly.
 
I've been pretty happy with Backscatter's 4300s for a relatively small GoPro setup. I'm a fan of regular 18650 batteries compared to some of BigBlue's concoctions. Also worth looking at beam width per light. I don't end up shooting video in wide mode very often (though RAW images are), so don't need to spread the light I have over 120 degrees... it really reduces how much light actually makes it to the intended target.
