As requested. Did a PSA for American Cancer Society. We used both with 2 tubes on on each one. One was for the key, and one was for hair/rim.

Looks very nice man! Did you use ant diffusion/gels?
The key looks nice and diffused...and her hair looks like it has a nice warming gel on it.

Thanks,
Nothing on the front of the lens. No gels on the lights. We shot with a Sony Cinealta and downrezzed to SD. The tubes were actually some off the shelf daylight tubes. Sylvania Sun Sticks I think they are called. White balanced off the white coat. Lens was wide open. Background was lit with tungsten fresnels, also naked.
Hi Cool Lights!
Did you finally manage to start these lolipops production? I'm currently building my own Kino, and I'm pretty interested in this part

Yes sir. We do have one and should have a few in stock when the other stuff is in end of November / beginning December. In fact, this is one thing that's been holding us up. I've insisted on a bit different design which won't slip out of positioning so easily under the (relatively) heavier weight of a 6x55 with tubes and eggcrates. Also thinking forward to other models like a 12x55 and a 6x75 (long tubes). Those big models will need a serious lollipop.
We've gone through several iterations and are very close to the final one now. The lollipop ball will look a bit different on our model and use a different kind of plastic too. I'm planning on offering it for around $29. Just waiting on the final model to put a picture of it on the site and the product page.

There is one design flaw in that the bulbs are too close together. Basically you want the light that eminates from the back side of the bulb to hit a reflector and bounce through a gap between the bulbs. Because of this you could assume that you are only getting about 70% of what you could get. But, this design is more compact and portable, and if it fits your needs than it is a good fixture.
Very good craftsmanship BTW.

Here is the light open. I flipped it around to let the bottom barn door fall. I was going to make the barn doors postionable, but it got so over engineered that I just figured I'd use flags on c-stands. The barn door can be clipped back to the stand out of the way.
Tubes are held in place by a strips of velcro strap riveted to the "plastic/aluminum plate/reflector" sandwich. The tubes can all be easily taken out and mounted/taped up individually. The end caps are a great feature to the aquarium rig. They are rugged and if you need to change color temp bulbs, it's fairly fast.
Sorry for the lousy pictures. This has been a great rig, and we use it all the time. I recently used it on a HD shoot at 24p with the sony cinealta, and did not notice any flickering.
