Litepanels - CCW 2014

About

An interview from the 2014 Content & Communications World Expo in New York City with Jay Dishong of Litepanels. The Litepanels range of LED lighting fixtures is the largest in the industry, spanning from battery operated on-camera lights, through groundbreaking LED 1x1 panels, to high-output Fresnel and open source fixtures. In this interview Jay talks with us about the Hilio D12 & T12 Panels, as well as the Astra 1x1 Bi-Color Panel.

The Litepanels Hilio D12 (Daylight Balanced) & T12 (Tungsten Balanced) panels deliver the best of both worlds, combining the flexibility of an open source fixture with all the benefits of Litepanels’ proprietary LED fixture designs. These innovative panels emit a raw, narrow beam that provides the high intensity you need for long throws. With an array of optional accessories, this intensity can be harnessed and shaped to light an exterior, wash a set with soft light, or illuminate a cyc wall or green screen. The Hilio D12/T12 are four times brighter than the previous version of Hilio. There’s no need for a heavy ballast or cabling, as the environmentally friendly and energy efficient Hilio D12 fixture draws only 350 watts of electricity, but delivers the output of a 575W HMI Par. The Hilio T12 fixture draws only 350 watts of electricity, but delivers the output of a 2K Tungsten Par or open face fixture.

The ASTRA 1x1 Bi-Color panel builds on the legacy of the original 1x1 fixture, which revolutionized the lighting industry. This innovative daylight to tungsten tunable color model was years in the making, with every design element of this next generation panel being meticulously crafted. Following the Litepanels tradition of a one square foot form factor, the ASTRA series is designed with select premium quality, high CRI, surface mount LEDs and paired with custom designed TIR optics. These tightly binned LEDs and fine-tuned optics provide the ASTRA 1x1 with superior color reproduction and a light output that is up to four times brighter than traditional LED panels. This higher intensity results in a longer throw and illuminates a wider area, allowing the panel to compete with strong exterior light sources or illuminate a large area effectively with just a single fixture.
