What would be the advantages and disadvantages of replacing my studio flash kit with continuous lighting?
The PIXAPRO LED100D MKIII Pro Twin Kit is everything that you loved about the LED100D MKII, but with a re-designed heat-dissipation system, allowing for quieter operation at less than 18dB, an option to use a V- Mount battery Plate (sold Separately) to be able to work away from mains power and a Memory Function that enables you to store and access previous settings. This kit comprises of two LED100D MKIII Pro a lightweight, 5600K Daylight balanced 100W LED continuous studio light using the latest High-Intensity Integrated COB LED technology. Flicker-Free, enabling you to shoot at virtually any framerate, or any shutter-angle, along with a CRI (Colour-Rendering Index) of 95 for accurate colour reproduction, TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) of 95 for impeccable colour consistency and an S-Type bayonet making it compatible with a variety of modifiers such as Beauty Dish, Softboxes and Reflectors just like the two Easy- open Octagonal 60x90cm Softboxes that has been included in this kit (OPTION 2) to emulate natural window light or (OPTION 1) get creative with Barndoor kits. This kit also comes two strong and durable 240cm air cushioned stands in both options making this a great set up for Professional Broadcast use, as well as for Cinematography and Smaller Video Productions such as video interviews. It is also suitable for Stills photography, including Portraits and Products etc.
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 enables 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 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.
Constructed from metal allows you to narrow the spread and shape of your lighting or use as a flag to reduce any light spill - comes included with a honeycomb grid to offer greater control by restricting the beam of light and 4 colour gels (Red, Yellow, Blue and translucent) to add some creativity to your lighting.
Size: 60x90cm helps to emulate a natural window light giving a more uniform effect, great especially for portraits and commercial photography and also useful used as a fill light.
Fittings and Extras: included with Bowens S-Type ring comes included with 2 diffusers and Honeycomb grid.
Setup: the easy open umbrella like setup means you can pop the softbox up in just seconds and disassemble it just as easy, ideal for using on location.
3 Tier Extension: making it collapsible to a height of 75cm and fully extend to 240cm.
Air Cushioned Dampening System: this helps to prevent any sudden drops to minimise the risk of damage to your equipment or causing injury to yourself.
Detachable Spigot: comes with the most popular universal 1/4" and 3/8” thread which makes it easy to use with other units up to 5kg.
The PIXAPRO® LED100D MKIII Twin kit with Barndoors or Softboxes are ideal to achieve a two point lighting set up (one main and one fill light) making it a great option for those looking for a powerful economical solution for both the hobbyist and the serious photographer, videographer or cinematographer, suitable for both Videos and Stills.

Please be aware when using the high powered LED COB chips although these will produce little heat, you will need to ensure sufficient air flow when using a modifier to avoid it causing damage to the light or modifier.

LED100D MKIII Daylight Balanced LED Studio Light
The light is excellent, everything I hoped it would be.
What would be the advantages and disadvantages of replacing my studio flash kit with continuous lighting?
The LED100D MKIII is everything that you loved about the LED100D MKII, but with improved specifications and updated features, making it a must have item.
When it comes to Continuous studio lighting, many photographers/videographers are looking for a high-quality lighting option, but don’t want to have to spend obscene amount of money whilst doing it. In this blog, we discuss two of the newest LED Lights available on the market, the PIXAPRO LED100D MKIII and the Aputure 120DII, to see which one suits best.
When it comes to LED lighting, there are two designs which are the most common on the market. These are the LED Panel light and the LED Head light. Whilst both of these lights are designed to be incredibly useful and powerful, there are a few differences. In this Blog, we will look at these differences and help inform you as to which would best suit you, and we will use our VNIX1500S and LED100D MKIII as guides for this.
When it comes to continuous lighting, LED lighting is the best option to choose. So, making sure you have the right LED Light to meet your requirements is a must. In this Blog, we take a look out our range of LED Lighting heads, the LED100D MKIII, LED100B MKIII, LED200B MKIII and the LED S300D, and see how these compare to each other.
