Featuring a Gold mount battery plate, the Dracast Pro Bi-Color LED Light Panel Kitfrom Dracast Pro Bi-Color LED Light Panel Kitis an ideal choice for location work, interviews, and small sets where color accuracy, control, and flicker-free output are of major importance. Variable color temperature from 3200 to 5600K means you can quickly match the prevailing ambient or artificial light balance with a simple twist of a knob while others are still applying filters. Dimming is equally convenient via another knob that adjusts the light intensity from 0 to 100% with negligible color shift. Additionally, its high CRI of 96 renders colors with precision and fidelity. The low electrical draw of just 30W means a timely return on your investment.

The durable anodized aluminum frame is supported by an oversized, U-shaped yoke with locking knobs on each side and a standard 5/8" receiver. This compact 12 x 6" panel can be used worldwide, powered by the included 100 to 240 VAC adapter in the studio, or by Gold mount batteries in the field. Four-way barndoors for contouring and control of the LED500's 45° beam angle are available separately. For protection during transport and storage, a carry case is included.

Q: 4. What's the difference between Pro and Silver Series?

A: The light QUALITY should be the same, but here is some information on the differences:The Pro, Plus, and Studio lines are basically our flagship lines, and are built to more exacting specifications. One example of that would be the knobs, which are sturdier and more solid on the Pro/Plus/Studio lights. The S-Series is more of an entry-level line of lights. However, the light QUALITY is the same (95+ CRI). The S-Series have a small number of plastic pieces on the otherwise anodized aluminum frame, instead of having all-metal construction like the Pro/Plus/Studio lines (which allows for better heat dissipation and brighter output). When comparing like model numbers (500 vs. 500, etc.), the S-Series is around 77% as bright as the Pro/Plus/Studio counterparts. Also, the Pro/Plus/Studio lines have more accessories available for them. The S-Series is lighter weight and generally more portable. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.
