Kino Flo award-winning flicker-free fluorescent systems have changed the way professionals light everything from feature films to television productions, video and still photography. Simply put, KinoFlo's are the most versatile softlight on the market and come in a variety of sizes.
A 4-bank unit is similar to a 1,000 watt softlight, uses 1/10th the power, and lightweight enough to tape to a wall. Also, color temperature doesn’t shift when light levels change, plus lamps are long-lived and operate outside the fixture. Here are some other features:
- Lamp remote fixture w/built-in barndoors
- Includes Reflector, Louver, and Removable Harness
- Same fixture takes daylight and tungsten, plus visual effects color lamps
- Mounts to stand, but light enough to tape to a wall
- Removable center-mount
- Fixture or lamps w/harness run up to 75 feet (24m) from ballast
- High-output, flicker-free ballasts
- Instant-on, dead quiet
- Individual lamp switching with no color shift
- High-output/Standard mode switching
- Same ballast runs 2 and 4-foot lamps
- Operates on 1/10th the power of conventional tungsten softlight
Ballasts have an On/Off/Half-Bulb Illumination switch, and can also be set for 2, or 4-foot tubes. Each fixture comes with both 5500K and 2900K True Match lamps. KF29 lamps are different from the industry standard KF32 (3200 Kelvin) in that they more closely matche the working Kelvin temperature of tungsten studio lights, which typically run below 3000K.
