Pictured: demonstrating different light settings.
These lights are great for filmmaking, interviews, documentaries, photography, and location shoots. My favorite thing is that they run on powerful batteries or AC, with adjustable Kelvin and power levels, and are easy to transport and set up. I've used them on mountain tops, open desert, living rooms and studios.
The Kelvin settings run from 2800K to 6500K. You can dial in warm tungsten-style lighting, cool daylight, or anything in between. This makes it easy to match existing light sources, create a particular mood, or balance lighting in mixed indoor and outdoor environments. (Or adjust when racing against sundown.)
Each panel has folding Velcro barn doors that let you control and shape the light. They fold flat for transport, open quickly, and help keep unwanted light off backgrounds or other parts of your scene while supporting diffusers, included. They are pretty shallow, mostly to support the included diffusers, but I used other methods to shape when needed, or used my 250's. (See other post.)
They have excellent battery life. You can shoot without extension cords running everywhere.
70-watt LED panels with plenty of light for interviews, portraits, and smaller film sets.
High color accuracy (CRI/TLCI 96–98) for natural skin tones and faithful color reproduction.
Adjustable color temperature (2800K–6500K) for creative lighting and matching ambient light.
Soft, flattering illumination with the included diffusion panels.
Folding Velcro barn doors
Battery or AC operation for studio and location shooting.
Slim, lightweight panels that are much easier to transport than traditional hot studio lights.
Two adjustable light stands and a padded carrying case with compartments for the equipment.
These lights also run much cooler than old-fashioned tungsten fixtures, which is a real advantage when you're filming in small rooms or working close to your subjects. Having two matching, independently adjustable panels gives you tremendous flexibility. Use one as your key light and the other as fill, or use one to illuminate a background. They're equally useful for a quick one-person interview or a more carefully designed cinematic setup.
Included: Two Photodiox FL70BI LED panels, two light stands, folding barn doors/diffusers, carrying case, and associated power equipment as pictured. You can use other batteries with the V-lock adapter. I bought the lights at a tech convention directly from the manufacturer, so the panels are branded Flaglight for China, but in the US they are Photodiox. See B&H posting. I don't have a bag for the stands. I put them in the case which is still light enough to carry.
Price: $550 for the complete kit.
Pro Indie Filmmaker cleaning out storage. (Rolls of gells, recording monitor, 8mm projector, grip and gaffer stuff... ) If the posts are up they are still there. First come first served, but may hold for short term. Tell me something.
