LitePanels Introduces Sola LED Fresnel Series at #NABShow

By: Justin Lang on April 11, 2010

I’ve got to take this one right from the Press Release:

Litepanels, A Vitec Group company, brings the Fresnel into the 21st century with the new Sola series. Offering beam control of 70° to 10°, the revolutionary new Solas provide the controllability and single-shadow properties inherent in a Fresnel light, but utilize just a fraction of the power of conventional fixtures.

Like all Litepanels, Sola Fresnels feature instant dimming from 100% to 0 with no noticeable color shift. The SolaENG, designed for on-camera mounting, provides manual focus and dimming control via camera-like ergonomic controls. The Sola6 and Sola12 provide on-fixture manual control of focus and dimming via a convenient touch screen, and are also controllable via DMX. Output is fully flicker free, and remains consistent even as the battery voltage goes down.

Employing Litepanels’ ultra-efficient LEDs, Solas draw just 1/10 the amount of power to provide the same illumination of a conventional tungsten Fresnel, with very little heat generation. The cool-to-the-touch feature of LED lights doesn’t just cut down on air conditioning requirements. Since they don’t require the heat dissipation and protection necessary for conventional Fresnels, the Solas weigh only 1/3 as much as their HMI and tungsten predecessors. What’s more, they have no external ballasts. The fixtures have a universal AC input and can be used on any consumer power source in the world.
