Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What is the output at 1 metre at both 3200k and 5500?

A: At 3200K 2700 lux / 251 fc at 3' (1 m) At 5600K 1950 lux / 181 fc at 3' (1 m)

Q: 2. Is the light output of this comparable to a traditional 1K Tungsten light?

A: No. The output would be more comparable to a traditional 450 Watt tungsten light. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 3. Has anyone found an affordable storage/travel solution for this giant light? Soft or hard case/bag?

A: We do not have any dedicated travel bag or case for the LED2000 lights. However, we do have a couple of hard cases that will work. One is 29x18x10 and the other is 30x21x18 . Whether they are affordable or not depends on your budget. They are $364.99 and $599.00 respectively. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 4. Is this great for reception wedding wherein you want to light up the reception (when dark) ?

A: These LED are more designed for use in a interview. For use in a wedding it will highly be dependent on the camera settings and the size of the venue.

Q: 5. Are LED lights a good choice for accurate colors in photographing artwork for print reproduction?

A: So, the consensus seems to be Yes to the question of whether the light will work well for lighting paintings for photographic reproduction. I would concur in that opinion. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 6. I have decided to buy this 1000 plus daylight fixture or the corresponding 1000 plus bi-color fixture. Traditional thought is to go with daylight because you lose half the LED's on the bi-color and bi-color is not necessary because you can use Gels and or adjust camera settings. However, since the 1000 plus is so powerful, I will essentially have a 500 daylight and a 500 LED tungsten which seems to plenty of brightness so I'm now considering bucking conventional wisdom and going with the bi-color. Just by reviews alone it appears as though the daylight is twice as popular. However, it's my understanding that the bi-color just recently came out which may skew the results. I'm an amateur videographer/photographer so need all the help I can get. Hence, for general all-around use would you go with the daylight or the bi-color? Thanks in advance! John

A: John, It sounds like you don't really need the full power of the LED 1000, as you mention the equivalence to two LED 500 units. That being the case, I would say that, for you, the bi-color would be the best option. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 7. Are the listed fixture dimensions (30.5 x 15.2 x 5.1 cm) with, or without the yoke attached?

A: Without yoke panel only.

Q: 8. Hi. I'm trying to decide between this, the Ikan 1024, or the Aputure LS 1c. The concern I have with this design and the Ikan is how the battery is mounted to the back of the light. Has anyone had issues with the yoke or using it up high or with a c-stand?

A: The power source/battery being separate from the light fixture is nice, but the same can be accomplished with a VariZoom S7101 4-Pin XLR to D-Tap Adapter Cable (a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/379251-REG/VariZoom_S_7101_S7101_4_Pin_XLR_to.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/379251-REG/VariZoom_S_7101_S7101_4_Pin_XLR_to.html/a) although the V-mount battery placement should not bump into the yoke, but it does add weight. Not a problem for a C stand. I have even used it on a boom pole with adequate sandbag weight. The Dracast is superior to the other LED square panels (CRI, light output, build quality), but like all of these types of 1 x 1 lights you will need diffusion or your talent will see spots and you will get multiple shadows. Chimera makes a great softbox for Dracast/Flolight 1 x 1 Chimera LED Lightbank although a little pricey (a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/869328-REG/Chimera_1670_LED_Lightbank_for_Flolight.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/869328-REG/Chimera_1670_LED_Lightbank_for_Flolight.html/a) and it will reduce the light output by about half, but makes for very pleasing light. Another advantage is that Dracast includes a free $200 battery, which is well worth it and helps to cover much of the cost of the softbox. However, the best light (size, weight, output, bi-color, focus-able, CRI, remote control via Bluetooth, etc.) would be the Kinotehnik Practilite 602 Smart LED Fresnel (a href= http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1208021-REG/kinotehnik_pract602_practilite_602_smart_led.html target= _blank http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1208021-REG/kinotehnik_pract602_practilite_602_smart_led.html/a), which is what I would recommend and I own both lights. 4 universal speed rings allow adding softboxes, but you really wont need them in most cases with this pleasing light. They give you a lot more control where the light is going unlike the Dracast and the Fresnel lens blends two or more lights together very well. I own 2 and when I can afford it. I will buy another one. I hope this helps.

Q: 9. Hi, I would like to know if the free Dracast 90Wh 14.8V Lithium-Ion V-Mount Battery will b charged on the Dracast LED500 or need an extra battery charger not included?

A: You would need to purchase a battery charger for the Dracast battery included with this panel. A charger which can be used is the IndiPRO Tools D-Tap Pro Battery Charger B&H # INPD1013. Please see the image below for reference.

Q: 10. Does this light come with a stand?

A: No , the stand is sold separately

[Proprietary] This is a great traveling kit for portable lighting on the go. You're getting lots of punch out of these well-built lights. They are with aluminum chassis not cheap plastic. LCD display and controls are easy to read and use. The color temperature are dead on. 5

Sandeep at EffinFunny	26/09/2024
[3200 to 5600K] We at EffinFunny have been using these lights for a year now, and they are sturdy, durable, easy to use, and you get a ton of flexibility with the bi-color. We had a couple issues with the power supplies that were promptly resolved by Aaron. They are very communicative at dra-cast and work to make sure that you get what you need quickly. They're just nice guys that want to do good work! Refreshing. 5

[3200 to 5600K] Needed a minor repair to one of our lights. We called and received great customer service and a quick turn around to get it fixed. Very impressed with Dracast and there products! Thanks Eli Sanchez & team! 5

[11.8 lb] I bought the previous version of this light from Dracast directly and had some issues with it. I called the company and after some more issues, I finally got to a person who was very helpful, ha made the situation right and even replaced the faulty unit with this version, which was very generous and great because this light is amazing. It's nearly impossible (and not worth the trouble) to run it off batteries, but it is such a large source, that it creates gorgeous, soft light with some spun in front of it. The micro-shadows are non-existent, the hardware is tough, and the led is far more accurate than guessing at some vague lines on a dial. 5

[45°] I'm both a professional photographer and cinematographer and I bought this originally for location video work. The output is incredible (My meter reads f-11 at 1/50 of a second at ASA 400 from 4' away.) The large source produces a much more pleasing light than smaller source led's just by the size and I was able to fake a chimera (strobe-based softbox) on it and it looked amazing.The dimming is accurate and flicker-free and the color is near perfect (certainly better than any other LED I have used) It only weights 10 pounds and while it's large, the quality of the light makes it worthwhile for me to take it on location. It's also powerful enough to use for still work, similar to how you would use a kino - but def requires some opal or tough spun to soften. Also their customer service is the best - No complaints! 5

[45°] This is a well-constructed dimmable light fixture with an excellent light output. The yoke is also well-constructed and features a handy 2-way stud receptacle. I say it's handy because I had to use the horizontal opening to attach to the light stand - this was because the soft-box attachment needed to be clear of the yoke - impossible to do when the light was mounted vertically.� The only downside was the very high color temperature. You need gels or plastic sheets to correct the CT. Mine are on backorder so I was stuck on an interview shoot that needed 2700K. 5
