We continue our ongoing coverage of NAB 2015 and today we look at theĀ ARRI SkyPanel LED – one of the most interesting advanced LEDs showcased during the show.
TheĀ ARRI SkyPanel LED is an ultra light soft light that will come in two sizes – theĀ S-60 series (which you can see in the video above) and the smaller S-30 series. The CRI for the light is higher than 95 which is impressive, no less impressive is the ability for the twoĀ color tuneable models to move betweenĀ 2800-10000 kelvin (the nonĀ color tuneable models Ā have 10% more light output instead).
There are also changable panels and many other goodies includingĀ CCTĀ control to set the mood of a sceneĀ orĀ selecting the perfect green color to wash a greenscreen. According to ARRI,Ā SkyPanel has tremendous light output across the entire CCT range. Brighter than a 2Ā kW tungsten soft light or a 6Ā kW tungsten space light while drawing only 400w) so it can be powered by a battery.
The larger S60-C will cost $6300 there is also an S60-RP (phosphor version) which will retail for and $4500. The S30 versions is half the size (here you will also have C and RP versions) pricing is going to be $4500 and $3125 respectively. The units are going to be available in September 2015 – you can find out more on ARRI’s website.
