Quadlite Continuous Lighting
Quadlite Continuous Lighting
The adjustable power softbox incorporates 4 x 105W photographic spiral fluorescent lights, cool running and with an absolutely
consistent colour temperature of 5,500K, which matches typical daylight as well as flash. Power can be reduced by 50% if required,
allowing full control of the brightness.
The colour rendition index* of 90 guarantees that all colours are reproduced accurately.
The main advantage of fluorescent lights for still photography is that it allows large apertures to be used when required and, because
there is no flash to recharge, it also allows constant shooting.
Continuous lighting solutions are essential for all types of video production and our product is ideal because of its extremely high
power, which is sufficient to allow video equipment to be used in most situations at their lower ISO settings.

The Sun (daylight) has a colour temperature of around 5000K, which is exactly the light quality our
Continuous Fluorescent bulbs produce. Household lamps are normally 2000K, which as illustrated in
the graph is a yellowish light. Household “daylight” bulbs that you can pick up in supermarkets or on
auction sites are often way above 5000K, more like 7000K, which gives photos a blue overcast.
