Q: 1. Is there a V-mount battery option for the Zylight F8-200?

A: Yes there is! The F8 200 uses 2pc of 14.4v battery (8 amps min) and we have a Dual Battery Adapter to allow battery powering. It mounts right to your light stand. You need the Battery Adapter and the Power Cable. Here are the part numbers:RawPower Dual Battery Module: B&H # ZY1902051 (MFG# 26-02037)RawPower Power Cable - F8 20: B&H # ZYRPPCF8200 (MFG# 18-02001)

Q: 2. Would this work nicely on the AD600 and AD200?

A: This Medium Apollo will pair nicely with the AD200. I would suggest using it with the bare bulb in a rear facing position to maximize the spread of light in the modifier. The size of the AD600 and therefore the fit inside the box may not make it ideal unless you use the accessory H600b remote head.

Q: 3. Does it have twice the power the first generation?

A: The 200w version has double the power of the 100w version.

Q: 4. Does this kit include the grid?

A: Nope.

Q: 5. someone hast the first generation of this light? Do the 200 has the double of the power?

A: The F8 200w has double the power of the F8 100w.

Q: 6. Does the F8 have a bowens mount option for softboxes etc?

A: I'm not sure about the option you mention. I bought the speed ring and the softbox specifically made for the light by Chimera. It's lovely. (expensive, but worth it)

Q: 7. IP54 WX rating... that is the same as Bron Kobold HMIs yes? Will this hold up in hurricane conditions like the Bron?

A: No. IP54= Ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety of the unit. The unit can take Low pressure spray from any angle for about 10 minutes – commonly referred to as splash proof but I wont go as far to say it is hurricane proof.

Q: 8. Can this withstand the heat of a prolycht 300 fs?

A: No, the Chimera Low Heat Daylite Junior LED Lightbanks (XS) can not handle the heat from the Prolycht Orion 300 FS. Better to use one of these, https://bhpho.to/3rl8mX3

Q: 9. Can the box be tilted? If so, what keeps it in place? Thanks.

Q: 10. What is the ouput comparison to hmi or tungsten? I dont see a foot candle chart. Also how long will a 150wh battery last at full power on this fixture?

A: According to Zylight, the F8-D has the light output just below a 1000 watt tungsten fresnel and the light output equivalent to 200 watts of HMI. For the complete photometrics on this fresnel, please see the following link: http://bit.ly/1Thzcq3. As for how long a 150Wh battery would last on this light, you would get about 1.5 hours of life at full power.
