Came-TV Boltzen 55 watt fresnels?

[Duncan Craig]

I've bought the new Bi-Colour 55w.
I say 'new' because they've improved the dimming, added a brolley holder hole into the mount and the bag is big enough to hold the light with the yolk still fitted.

If I run it off the mains using a watt meter with the Boltzen at full power, as I cycle the light across the temperature range it consistently pull about 55watts.
I was expecting it to only pull full power when in the mid temp range...
So I guess that a daylight only or tungsten only fixture will be the same light output as this bi-colour?
If so that's great news.

The barn doors are only good for cutting when it's zoomed out to wide.

Battery life using a single NP is no doubt a problem.
I own a pair of Dual NP to V-Lock/D-Tap plates, so I can run the light from them and the battery life should improve.

The light came with two additional filters, both diffusions.
A Soft Filter and a Milky-White Filter.
I can't really see what use these tiny diffusion rings would be when placed so close to the COB chip... Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Can you post a photo of the new "brolley holder" ?

There are no pictures of this on the CAME-TV website, and I would like to get an idea of what this looks like.
( I love to use large translucent umbrellas as instant fill light, so having a good umbrella holder would be a big deal for me )
