- The Adjustable Power Softbox incorporates 4x105W Photographic spiral fluorescent lights, cool running and with an absolutely consistent colour temperature of 5,500K, which matches typical daylight as well as flash. Power can be reduced by 50% if required, allowing full control of the brightness.
- The Colour Rendition Index of 90 guarantees that all colours are reproduced accurately.
- The main advantage of fluorescent lights for photography is that it allows large apertures to be used when required and, because there is no flash to recharge, it also allows constant shooting.
- Continuous lighting solutions are essential for all types of video production and our product is ideal because of its extremely high power, which is sufficient to allow video equipment to be used in most situations with creating noice.
- They can also be used for small product photography in conjunction with light cubes, product shooting tables etc. Continuous lighting is also very popular with portrait photographers because of its 'what you see is what you get' quality and because it allows constant shooting with no recharge delays. Most continuous lighting products can only produce harsh light, but this new product completely overcomes this problem by incorporating the lights into an efficient, medium sized softbox.
- The 80cm x 80cm softbox produces the equivalent of over 1600 watts of tungsten lighting. This means that there is enough light, at a distance of 1 metre and with 800 ISO, to give a typical full power exposure of 1/60th second at f/13 (or 1/800th at f/4), and a typical minimum power exposure of 1/30th second at f/4.
- The softbox is fitted with a diffuser, which can be removed if required, giving an effect similar to that of a Beauty Dish. If required, the softbox can be removed and can be replaced with an umbrella (not included).
- Supplied complete with lamps
- The stand shown in the photos is NOT included. We recommend either our spring damped or air damped stand, both are suitable.
These lamps are several times as powerful as similar lights that cost far more, and a combination of high performance and low price means that the Lencarta Quadlite is by far the best available,
