Litepanels are always on the scene: from illuminating a new studio for CNN, to lighting Sky TV’s Winter Olympics coverage and the Hollywood set of Desperate Housewives as well as thousands of television motion picture and still shoots worldwide. Emmy award-winning Litepanels, a Vitec Group brand, has become the new standard in professional lighting. Litepanels fixtures large and small have gained rapid popularity with broadcasters, cinematographers, videographers, still photographers and more.
Why do so many professionals choose Litepanels? They know that every Litepanels HD-friendly break-through model produces soft, directional illumination for unprecedented creative control. The cool-to-the-touch, ultra-portable lights offer infinitely dimmable 5600°K or 3200°K flicker free output with virtually no color shift. And there are multiple power options: snap-on battery packs, AC and DC camera battery adapters —even fixtures that run off AA cells. Better yet, Litepanels’ ultra-efficient LEDs draw a fraction of the power of conventional tungstens lights, and have a lamp life of over 50,000 hours!
Litepanels offers a win-win situation by improving the aesthetic quality of the illumination, while offering scores of practical advantages, including a more portable, more energy efficient way to light. Plus it makes dollar sense. In the studio, Litepanels has demonstrated over and over again, that minimizing power to run the lights themselves and reduction in air conditioning costs provide such incredible savings, that updating a studio with Litepanels pays for itself in just a few years. Even a single freelancer understands the time and money-saving value of lighting that runs tirelessly off a battery or a standard AC plug and travels without overweight or excess baggage changes. Plus, imagine not having to stop the action for lamp changes!
Now there’s a Litepanels LED fixture to meet every lighting need. To mount on-camera, there’s the workhorse MiniPlus with snap-on battery and the AA battery-operated Micro, MicroPro & HD DSLR-smart Hybrid. Plus the new Sola ENG LED Fresnel offers a powerful new alternative for focusable on-the-move shooting. For versatile soft lighting, Litepanels’ 1x1 series has changed the game. These 3-pound 1’x1’ panels work alone or stack in grids to create exactly the output needed. 5600°, 3200°, Spot, Super-Spot, Flood, variable color, variable focus—there’s a 1x1 to fit the bill.
The new Sola 6 and Sola ENG Fresnels offer the focusable beam control of Fresnels combined with the conveniences and power-miserly advantages of all Litepanels LED fixtures. For the maiden voyage of the new Sola 6 and Sola ENG Fresnels, professionals used them in the 2011 Super Bowl announcers booth. The results? Outstanding.
And for high output, Litepanels introduces the H2 Hi-Output™. This compact fixture offers similar, soft, directional, HD-friendly illumination yet is capable of projecting light over a long distance, from 20 to 25 feet (6 to 7.6 meters). The 100W H2 provides illumination equivalent to a 1000W tungsten with all the advantages of Litepanels’ proprietary LED technology.
