Litepanels will offer a $100 rebate on purchases of the Croma variable color temperature LED light and the Sola ENG LED Fresnel lighting fixture. Litepanels’ mail-in rebate offer for Croma and Sola ENG fixture purchases runs from through July 15 2012 with no limits on quantity. All rebate requests must be postmarked by midnight August 15 2012. The offer is subject to the rebate’s terms and conditions which can be found at www.litepanels.com/rebate. The new Croma is an on-camera light that delivers soft illumination at any color temperature between daylight and tungsten. As the cameraperson moves from one lighting environment to another he can match the output of the Croma to the color temperature of the ambient light. Since Croma also provides the ability to dim its output from 100 percent to 0 with no noticeable shift in color temperature it can deliver exactly the right amount of fill light at precisely the right color temperature. The Croma draws just 9W of current while providing comparable light output to that of a 40W HMI or 90W tungsten fixture. The Sola ENG Fresnel provides a long-throw adjustable beam of daylight-balance illumination that can light the elements of a news story during the dark of night as well as a pleasing fill for interviews and live-shots with enough punch to fill in faces in direct sunlight. It draws just 30W yet provides illumination equivalent to a 100W HMI without a bulky external ballast or down time before restriking. The light’s proprietary Fresnel lens provides focus adjustment from 15° to 50°.
