Mole-richardson Babyled 150w Fresnel Light
- Product Code: eq9319

This is a tungsten-balanced Mole-Richardson BabyLED 150W 6.0" Fresnel with DMX. Fresnels have been a staple in Hollywood since 1936 and little has changed except the use of better materials with more precise construction techniques.
While nobody had a problem with the Fresnel's quality of light, heat and electrical draw was another story. It's why you see so many movie people walking around the set with heat-resistant gloves. And of course frying the talent could bring the production to a screeching halt. Then there are scrims - the only way to knock down the output without changing the color temperature.
Enter the MoleLED Fresnel line. Apart from the black powder-coated finish, the BabyLED head looks and performs the same as a legacy light allowing you to swap a standard light for a BabyLED or mix them. In fact there's a retro-fit kit available to convert your old style light to an LED.
On-board local 100-10% dimming means you'll probably be restricting your scrimming to half-scrims, saving you a lot of ladder climbing. Besides comfort, you'll be saving on air-conditioning and running costs in the studio. The BabyLED's maximum draw is 0.75-1.5A as compared to the legacy light's 8.3A, up to an 80% reduction in energy consumption. This means that you can run many more LEDs instead of legacy lights without raising the temperature. Let's also consider the cost and downtime of re-lamping. LEDs last about 50,000 hours and are virtually maintenance-free.
If you're not sold already, the control features will close the deal. Not only does the BabyLED have on-board local dimming but it's also DMX 512 compatible, so you can remote control 1 or 100 BabyLEDs from a central console by simply daisy-chaining them together.
The 90-250 VAC BabyLED has a 6.0" lens, passive cooling and aluminum alloy and steel construction. It has 10 to 55-degree spot to flood variation and a 5/8" receiver for standard Baby pin. The #18 AWG power cable is 25' long and ends in a NEMA 5-15 Edison (US) plug.

MoleLED Fresnels are powered by a proprietary, patent-pending Mole-Richardson Quantum Dot chip on-board LED module. The benefit of QD LED technology is the ability to specifically tune the visible wavelength at the nano scale which, in this case, allows for precise adjustment of the red spectrum without impacting the overall light output of the LED.
Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Do the bulbs blow as easily as lowel pro light bulbs?
A: Do you touch the bulb when placing it in the fixture? One of the first things I was taught on my first job was never touch a bulb when inserting it into the fixture. The oils on your hand gets on the bulb and when turned on, the oils heat up and the bulb will blow. I've had both Arri's(currently this 150 and a 300) and Lowel lights over the years and never had bulbs go out prematurely in either brand. While I believe Arri makes a more durable light than Lowel, you shouldn't have bulb issues if A) Buy a quality bulb, B) Never touch the bulb and C) Handle your lights with more care than an ABC7 news crew.
Q: 2. What are the dimensions of the light itself? Looking to mount this to a wall, concerned w/ buying the correct baby pin adapter
A: The CAME-TV Boltzen MKII 150W Bi-Color LED Fresnel is approxemelty, 16 x 9.5 x 7.5"
Q: 3. Does this light kit include the light stands or are they a separate item?
A: The kit BH #IKSFB1502PTK • MFR #SFB150-2PT-KIT does include the stands.
Q: 4. How long is the upper part, that is, the part above the wide section that has the screw lock? I'm looking for something that will allow my Matthews Hollywood arm to sit on my Manfrotto light stands more securely (i.e., sit on a stud long enough to use the whole length of the mounting hole in the Hollywood arm. B&H # MAHWHA40B. The other studs I've tried won't allow the hole in the arm to go fully down onto the mounting stud on the light stand.
A: I measured 1 15/16 inches.
Q: 5. What type of connection does the ballast have for power? Stand Edison plug?
A: The ballast for this fresnel does have a standard Edison plug on the end.
Q: 6. Can I plug this light directly to wall outlet?
A: Yes
Q: 7. Is there a speed ring for a Chimera Video Pro-small that fits this light?
A: There does not seem to be a speedring that fits the ikan Stryder Fanless Bi-Color 150W LED Fresnel Light with DMX.
Q: 8. What are the photometrics of the light? How many foot candles at 6', or 15' at 3200 and 5600?
A: Unfortunately, Mole-Richardson only lists photometrics for the 200W Varimole LED fixture at 10 feet (3 meters). At 3200K, the unit outputs 55 FC (539 Lux) at 10 feet (3 meters), and at 5600K, the unit outputs 67 FC (717 Lux) at 10 feet (3 meters). They do not list measurements at 6 feet or 15 feet.
Q: 9. The specs say power consumption at 98W, but the name says 150W - which is correct for the max power consumption?
A: Correct the ikan Stryder Fanless Bi-Color 150W offers the following. Power Consumption: 98W Power Supply: 110-240VAC; Output: 12V@12.5A
Q: 10. Mole-Richardson, I didn't see photometrics on this model on your website. Could you please provide some? How many footcandles at 10 feet, so I could compare this to some other models, apples-to-apples?
A: According to Mole Richardson, this LED fresnel would produce 2000 foot candles at 10 feet. Please see page 12 of the following PDF for more information.http://bit.ly/28Jyodh
