Sola6, shipping soon.
This daylight-balanced LED fixture draws only 75 Watts but
puts out the equivalent of a 650 Watt tungsten Fresnel, making it
about 10 times more efficient. It is cool to the touch, cuts down
on air-conditioning, and weighs only 6lbs (2.7kg). There are no
external ballasts. The Sola6 plugs into wall sockets worldwide
(85-245 VAC). It has a 6" (15.24cm) Fresnel lens. The light is even;
shadows are crisp and definable. An onboard knob lets you focus
the Sola6 from 10° to 70°.
The Sola6, like all other Litepanels, dims from 100% to 0 with no
noticeable color shift. In additional to focus, Sola6 has onboard
dimming. Both can also be controlled by DMX. Output is fully
flicker-free, and remains consistent even if the battery voltage
weakens. LED life is more than 50,000 hours. (litepanels.com)
Fabrizia Ianiro, Managing Director of Ianiro Aldo S.r.l, with the
Ianiled 54: a powerful, portable LED daylight fixture. It gets its
name from the 54 LEDs used in three circular modules (of 18
LEDs each). It’s about the size of a Redhead, and puts out almost
as much light as a Redhead gelled to daylight with CTB.
The Ianiled 54 is a modular fixture with components that attach
together with magnets. It is powered by a 12 volt battery
or a 110/240V power supply. The system comes with spot, medium
and flood lenses that magnetically snap in front of the LED
“bulbs.” The onboard dimmer controls intensity and color temperature
from around 4500°K to 6500°K. (ianiro.com)
MoleLED Mole-Richardson’s new MoleLED lights, designed in collaboration
with OSRAM Sylvania, provide tungsten or daylight white light
that matches studio quartz or HMI units.
The MoleLED 12-Pack (15.75"h x 3.625"d x 18.25"w with yoke
attached) is made up of of 12 circuit boards containing 20 high
output LEDs—a total of 240 individual sources. The MoleLED
fixture blends these multiple points of light into one soft, single
source. It’s dimmable (no color shift) locally and via DMX. Uses
universal 100-240 VAC power supply; car battery; 14.4, 24 or 30
volt camera battery.
The MoleLED Single (3.25"h x 4.25"d x 14"l) is like 1/12th of the
12-pack—a small, single, soft LED strip that fits in the palm of
your hand. It makes a great car interior light or as an Obie. Hide it
behind a computer monitor, on a podium or built into your next
set. Singles, available in tungsten or daylight, can be powered,
switched and individually dimmed remotely from Mole’s 6-Pack
Controller. (mole.com)
