[10 lb] I bought this Sola 4+ fresnel for use as a back light in a typical 3 point lighting scenario. It fits the bill quite well I think. I considered the ARRI L5 for this because it is bi-color, but my budget didn't quite allow for it, so the Sola 4+ was the next best option. The Sola 4+ is light enough to place on a boom without excessive counterweights and allows for easy rigging. The fixture is mostly plastic which gives it a bit of a cheap feel however. The barn doors have plastic hinges but the doors are aluminum. Considering the plastic makes it light weight, which is a huge bonus if you are travelling with this fixture, I think it is a reasonable trade off. The focus range allows fine tuning and quite a narrow spot. Fan is quite enough that most audio situations would not pick it up. The fixture has a small form factor but it packs a pretty good punch for its size. Because it is only daylight balanced, I purchased the 5 piece CTO pack which includes a opal frost diffusion. Not sure I will use the DMX function but it's nice to know it's there incase I do. Overall, I think this light is a pretty good value but it needs to be handled and packed carefully to avoid possible damage. I gave the Sola 4+ five stars because it met my expectations based on the advertising and published specs. Now Litepanels needs to make a bi-color version of this fresnel to truly perfect it!

[10 lb] Just as expected.

[10 lb] Arrived quickly, just in time to install over our home voice over booth. Looks great! Don't throw the light diffuser sheet away. We almost did and thought we would only see the red lights, making the word unreadable. The sheet between the lights and recording is very important!

[10 lb] We ordered the product and it arrived on time. I have tested it and it is running well. I am not sure why the original ballasts went down but this replacement is working well.

[10 lb] Fast delivery, great communication. Exactly what was required for the Recording Studio.

[10 lb] I don't haver to shush folks anymore. It works as described.

[22 x 19.5 x 6"] I mounted this unit outside wall of the room I use to play guitar. My would come in while I was recording. She said one day, just stick a note on the door so that I know you are recording. So I Googled recording lights and found this light. Looks great, when it's on it is very readable. And when its off, you cannot see the word recording.

[22 x 19.5 x 6"] Looks great and gives the classic vibe I was looking for. Very pleased.

[22 x 19.5 x 6"] Well I left a review back in 2017 after I bought it. Im still quite happy with the Fixture. I recently tested the CRI using my Sekonic C-700, the results hovered around 94.0 to 95.0 depending on temperature. I would say Litepanels general claim of a High CRI rings true but the output is no where near a 575w HMI. There are cheaper lights on the market now like the Aputure Storm 300d II that do output the equivalent of the 575w HMI, however I have not tested the CRI as of yet.

[10 lb] Very high quality and construction.
