Litepanels introduces Revolutionary New Sola Fresnels
posted:
Like all Litepanels, Sola Fresnels feature instant dimming from 100% to0 with no noticeable color shift. The SolaENG provides manual focus and dimmingcontrol via camera lens style ergonomic controls. The Sola6 and Sola12 provideon-fixture motorized control of focus and local dimming via a convenient touchscreen, and are also remote-controllable via their integrated DMX interface.Output is fully flicker free, and remains consistent even as the battery voltagegoes down.
Employing Litepanels’ ultra-efficient LEDs, Solas draw 90% less powerthan conventional tungsten lights, with very little heat generation.Additionally, Litepanels’ cool-to-the-touch lighting systems substantially cutdown on air conditioning requirements in studio applications. Importantly, theSolas weigh only 1/3 as much as their HMI predecessors with no externalballasts. The fixtures have a universal AC input and can be used on any 85-245watt power worldwide.
Litepanels Solas are available in three models. The Sola6 draws 75 wattsyet produces output equivalent to a 650W tungsten unit, and weighs 6 lbs.(2.7kg). The Sola12 draws just 250 watts yet produces output equivalent to a2000W tungsten and weighs only 14 lbs. (6.4kg). Designed for both on-camera andoff-camera mounting, the SolaENG is only 4” x 4” x 5” (102mm x 102mm x 127mm)and weighs just 10 ounces (.28kg). Employing a 3” (7.62cm) lens, it draws 30watts yet produces output equivalent to a 250W tungsten. The SolaENG runs on 10-20VDCsourcessuch as camera batteries, or via an AC power adapter.
