Description
ARRI continues to broaden their LED line and reaffirm their commitment to accurate colour rendering with the introduction of the blue/silver SkyPanel S30-C LED Soft light. Supported by a manual aluminium yoke, the panel’s surface area measures 14 x 11.8″, making it an ideal portable, on-the-go light source for mobile applications. Output is controlled via interchangeable thermoplastic diffusers that range from Standard to Lite to Heavy to soften the light and wrap its output around your subject and the SkyPanel S30-C outputs the equivalent of a 1000W tungsten soft light while drawing a maximum of only 240W.
Using technology originally designed for the L7-C Fresnel, the SkyPanel S30-C is fully colour “tuneable” allowing output of a warm 2800K to icy blue 10,000K light and also uses the full RGB+W colour gamut with hue and saturation control for fine adjustments. Full minus green to full plus green is also possible, so if you’re lighting for blue or greenscreen, you can simply dial your colour chosen in. This wide degree of con-trol is responsible for a very high CRI of 95 and a rating of 91 with the newer TLCI standard. All of these functions as well as 0-100% dimming can adjusted locally with the SkyPanel’s onboard controller or remotely via DMX or over a LAN. Besides inputs and outputs appropriate to these functions, the light also has a USB-A port for downloading firmware upgrades from a thumb drive, Windows or Mac.
The SkyPanel S30-C can be used worldwide, thanks to its included 90-250 VAC power supply, but it can also use optional 23-36 VDC batteries when mains power is unavailable. Besides the power supply, the light comes with a combo baby/junior (5/8″ | 1-1/8″) pin and a standard diffuser. This version of the light comes
