I see neither the "normal" 4' Kino Flo on BH's site nor Kino's site. Is the Tegra the replacement for the old 4' light?

Thank you.
 
I wouldn't call it the replacement. Tegra is more of a studio friendly light, no need of header cable and ballast hook up. One man band. Great interview light too.
But on location is a different story, i would still prefer the old one. if the Tegra's ballast went wrong, you got to replace the whole light. The old one is still more rigging friendly.
So imo they are two separate lights for me, both do great job in different situation.
Played with one at Cine Gear NYC.
 
So there is no replacement for the old model? As I indicated in my original post, they appear neither at BH nor at Kino's site.
 
Last time I talked to the rental house at Cine Gear NYC. They said, Kino light had sent Tegra 4bank lights to most of the venters over the world (two for each venter). So call up your local rental house to test the light out. But don't know when it is going to available for sale. IMO Kino is testing out the water to see how popular the light will be.
He is talking about this light, http://kinoflo.com/Lighting Fixtures/Tegra_4Bank/Tegra_4Bank.html
It is a NEW 4ft 4 bank Kinoflo. Again, IMO it is not a replacement, it is just a new light. The old one is still as good as it is.
