Change the Way You Light with PlaZma Light

Unlike a LED light, the Zacuto PlaZma Light is a super soft light source much like a Chimera soft box, yet extremely bright when needed. It is production grade quality, dimmable, thin, light and portable. Measuring less than an inch think, they can fit into extremely small spaces. Zacuto PlaZma Lights will be available in many sizes and shapes. The PlaZma Light is environmentally friendly, no mercury or lead used and is made in the USA.

Key features of the Zacuto PlaZma Light:

• Puts out an impressive 2000 lumens versus other industry 1×1 LED panels at 1200 lumens and 777 lumens on side lit reflected LEDS.
• Has a characteristic incandescent curve unlike LEDS that can have a nasty green spike and don’t mix well with practical or tungsten lights.
• The daylight balanced curve is unwavering at 5800K and mix well with HMIs.
• Just like traditional soft lights, the PlaZma Light has a wide light pattern as opposed to the spotty nature of an LED. But unlike traditional soft lights, the PlaZma Light has a huge throw.
• The soft nature of the PlaZma Light enables actors to look directly into it (from 5 inches) without squinting. The light fills the face with beautiful soft light unlike existing lights, including LEDs, which force you to lose light output as they need to be diffused, bounced or have an umbrella attached to it.

The PlaZma Lights will be available in a 1×1 Tungsten or Daylight. We are also working on making different sizes as well as accessories such as barndoors and expandable snoot. The lights are powered by 110-240V 50-60 Hz AC or 11-18V DC with a 3 Stud Anton Bauer like battery or a Sony V-Lock battery. The power box also has the dimmer. The control box connects to the light via weather proof 10 or 25 foot head cable or and be placed on the ground or mounted on the light stand.

If you are looking for a small, portable AC/DC soft light, that is less expensive then LED hard lighting, the PlaZma Light is the choice for you! The Zacuto PlaZma Lights are due out Fall 2013.
