Description
Continuing their venture into the high-end LED market, Profoto proudly relaunches its first Mono-LED by introducing the L1600D Daylight Mono-LED Light Kit. The brand carefully listened to the demands of professional filmmakers, e-commerce studios, and content creators to reintroduce the L1600D at a competitive price point without compromising performance. The L1600D arrives with hardware enhancements, but still features state-of-the-art LED technology meticulously thought out for the highest demands of production and cinema lighting. Combining efficiency and advanced attributes, the L1600D is focused on superior light quality with an all-in-one, ballast-free IP54-rated body.Experience the purest quality of light with 5600K CCT, multiple control methods, and dual mounting options for the most extensive array of Profoto and Bowens modifiers. The unit's ballast-free ergonomic design translates into a huge time-saving solution and more freedom on set. Its power, size, and weight are all worthwhile attributes for any professional lighting setup needing reliable, speedy operation. The L1600D is now stronger, smarter, and made for a broader range of professionals as a highly bright 1600W LED point-source that can fit in tighter spaces on set.Improvements Keeping the most striking traits of the previous L1600D, Profoto made some changes and relevant improvements to the L1600D's light head, which includes: a reinforced front plate, an internal reflector for optimized optical performance, better Bowens S-mount fitting and locking pin, as well as a heavy-duty front tube that also enables improved optical performance. Additionally, this light has no heat or cooldown time and was developed to be more energy efficient and reduce power consumption, making this Profoto's first LED flash mode available with zero recycle time for hybrid workflows and lighting comfort in photoshoots.Your Go-To Light The L1600D's characteristics stand out in the Profoto Mono-LED category as a 1600W LED designed replace a traditional 1.8K HMI. Now, 25.8 lb may seem heavy for a compact light, but when you remember that it doesn't require a ballast and how much light you'll get from it when compared to similar fixtures, the weight is justifiable. The L1600D outputs up to 12,500 lux with its included MaxiZoom reflector, and can reach an impressive 45,000 lux when using the optional Boost reflector, both within a considerable distance of 16.4'. By expanding the L1600D's output, the optional Boost reflector offers significantly increased brightness for a long throw of light.Mono-LED Technology Delivering the lighting quality that Profoto is known for, the L1600D has the advantages and conveniences of a powerful continuous light source. Intended for use in various environments, this 1600W point-source LED fixture will give you accurate colors, and most importantly, exceptional flicker-free brightness at any frame rate. Profoto's unique Active HydroCTech liquid cooling system handles heat from the LED and its power electronics, ensuring longevity and silent operation.The Purest of Light Developed to suit both video and stills, expect the reliability and precision from Profoto's trusted standard in professional lighting with the L1600D's high CRI 95, TLCI 97, and SSI 74 ratings as indicators of superior performance and accuracy in color rendering meaning natural skin tones. With a fixed 5600K CCT, light control is provided by precise 0.1 to 100% dimming without introducing flicker. 16-bit dimming down to 0.1% ensures precise control and smooth transitions. Linear, Exponential, Logarithmic, and S dimming curves make sure color rendering is as accurate as possible regardless of your chosen intensity.Intuitive & Advanced Control Methods The L1600D has been built to naturally integrate into the filmmaker's workflow, increasing productivity. Advanced control is one of the highlights of this fixture. The unit builds upon the remarkable quality of Profoto products and combines f
