NAB 2013: Fiilex

Nice. Thanks Jason.


....YEY!!!!... The product page on the website has Photometric info!!! ...And the little suckers put out a very respectable amount of light.

We had a color meter II with us on the show floor, and we clocked these lights as going from roughly 2700K up to 5500K.
There was no green spike evident at all (0 on the CC reading all the way through).
 
Nice, and very, very affordable. Two things one can particularly appreciate - consistent CRI across all the temps, and able to run on battery power. LED lights have come a long way...

That said - and right after I say it, I'm gonna run away, so all the stones thrown are not going to hit me - I'm waiting for something brighter... like A LOT brighter... at the same price point.
 
Also the diode was not a matrix of LED bulbs it was a single chip so the shadows had no stepping and were very clean just like a tungsten fixture
 
Here's a shot of the diodes they showed us (shot didn't make it into the video).
This should give you an idea of what Jason was referring to above.

This is impressive. Thanks for the post. I wonder if any has used a set extensively? I'm interested in finally upgrading from my Lowell tungsten kit LOL! I have never liked Kinoflo. big and cumbersome and don't produce too much luminance I really really dig this tunable color deal. A local store has a set on display and my beef with it is that it isn't very bright. It won't light up a room. But perhaps for 3 point interview it is enough?

Luis, I just want to mention that LED's generally don't have a green spike. It's fluorescents that do. It's a gnarly bright green spike at 546nm due to the mercury in the fluorescent bulb.

LED's tend to have gaps in the spectrum and a blue spike. There are good high CRI leds out there though.
 
as interesting as the on camera p100 is, it's a stretch at that price point, twice as much as even the lite panels micro. seems they are pricing in accordance to frezzis, which i can't really see flying. if they don't notch that price to under 300 i don't imagine it'll move very well. the upper models seem competitive,
 
I had the chance to do a quick visual side by side (non scientific nor recorded) of the P360 as compared to Lowel Pro Lights (250w) in regards to brightness. I've been waiting for an LED light that is the same size and has a similiar sized face diameter as the prolight. I was happy to find one that also has a very high CRI and was bicolor.

I found that at the same beam spread P360 outputs just about the same amount of lumens as the 250w pro light (maybe a little less), However, that was when the P360 was at 5600K. As expected, when you drop the color temperature to around 4100 there is a slight drop in brightness, when you go even further you see much bigger drop in brightness. I am also a little disappointing that the spot focus on the P360 is only by adding a filter in front of the light rather than having an adjustable lens built into the light.

My overall impression is that it's a good replacement in size and in punch to a prolight if you need something that is daylight balance...if it's worth it for the price, that's up to each to decide for themselves.
 
Just check these out and loved them. A big plus for me is all the Profoto light shapers I own will fit the larger light. Also the colour and brightness is just what I'm looking for.
