LED 100D MKIII PRO

Brightness: 100W approximately 11,000 Lux at 1m with a COB chip.

Colour Temperature: 5600K Daylight Balanced

Flicker-Free: can shoot at virtually any framerate, or any shutter-angle without fear of introducing flicker.

Dimmer Dial: User-friendly Digital display and dial enable you to control the brightness of the unit between 100-10% brightness.

XLR-4 port: enables you to plug the mains power adapter without fear of it accidentally coming loose during a shoot. The port also enables you to connect a plate for a V-mount battery (sold separately), for times when you would like to shoot on location, or away from mains power (we recommend the PiXAPRO BP 130 V-Mount battery for best compatibility).

New Memory Function: enables you to store and instantly access previous settings, for ideal for repeated lighting setups.

Built- in 2.4GHz Receiver: enables you to control the brightness of up to 99 individual units with up to 10 different channels with the optional remote control (sold separately).

Re-Designed Heat-Dissipation System: quieter operation at Less Than 18dB

Mounting: can be mounted to any 5/8” support devices including stands, booms and Hi-Glide fittings.

Bowens S-Type Bayonet mount: enables it to be used with a wide range of lighting modifiers, including Softboxes, reflectors, snoots and Beauty Dishes etc.

Energy Efficient:  Low Heat emissions last up to ten times longer than CFL lights, using 1/3 to 1/30 of the energy consumed by fluorescent or incandescent lights. Fluorescent would give around 5,000-10,000hrs but LED normally gives around 50,000hrs. Running cooler as they convert around 90 percent of the energy consumed into the light as opposed to tungsten lights where most of the energy is converted into heat making the shooting environment a lot more comfortable for your subject. 

DeepPara Softbox

Size: 90cm or 35” Deep Parabolic softbox will evenly light large subjects, and as the softbox is very deep at 65cm it will throw the light further whilst adding drama and pulling out details

Shape: almost circular softbox with 16 rods will create an even circular shape giving a round catch light, emulating a natural light source like the sun.

Fitting: Bowens S-Type fitting can be easily attached to the front of your light using the bayonet fitting, this easy but effective fitting almost an industry standard for lights. 

Curve reflector

Effect: Due to the design of the Curved reflector it creates an even curved catchlight, adding sparkle to the subject’s eyes.

Colour: It includes 3 different colours, silver to accentuate details and give a bright reflection, white to produce a soft more natural light and black to absorb light, preventing uncontrolled reflections on your subject. These are part of a slide on 2-sided cover material with a detachable diffuser for the white.

Shape: The Curved Reflector’s shape is based on the curvature of the human eye and produces flattering curved catchlights 

Background

Size: The background will have a 1.5m width with a maximum length of 2m, this will provide enough space to cover your subject and can be collapsed down to just 1/3^rd of its size.

Colour: It comes as 2-sided blue and grey, due to the matte nature of this fabric, it is virtually reflection-free.

Material: Made from 100% highest quality muslin cloth cotton 

Stands

300cm Stand (x1)

Features a 3 tier extension that allows it to collapse to a height of 100cm. a thick sturdy central column which can be lowered down to be used as a fourth leg offering extra stability and an air-cushioned dampening system to help prevent any sudden drops to minimise the risk of damage to equipment or causing injury to yourself.

240cm Stand (x2)

These stands feature a 3 tier extension that allows it to collapse to a height of 75cm, an air-cushioned dampening system to help prevent any sudden drops to minimise the risk of damage to equipment or causing injury to yourself and a detachable spigot with the most popular universal 1/4" and 3/8” thread which makes it easy to use with other units up to 5kg. 

Tips and tricks

• Place the LED100D MKIII with the Deep Para softbox, roughly positioning your light source directly centred and above your subject’s face, aimed down approximately 45 degrees. For best results, ensure that the centre of the softbox is pointed to your subject’s face.
• For the Traditional Clamshell lighting set up, position the Curved reflector under your subject’s chin, to produce flattering wrap-around fill light.  It will also produce a unique curved catchlight in the eyes of your subject.
• Place the background meter or two away from your subject if possible, to prevent any shadows cast by the main light from falling onto the background.
• For headshots, we recommend using a lens with a focal length of between 70mm and 135mm on a full-frame camera (or between 50mm and 100mm on a cropped sensor camera) for the most flattering results.
