Scandles is
our multi-tasking portable fluorescent light source for digital,
video and film imaging; also a first choice for conservation
task lighting of art and artifacts. It is a constant, easily
transported, full-spectrum, UV and heat free, daylight or tungsten
balanced source of illumination. (No HEAT, no UV, at least 4
times the electrical efficiency per lumen (lumen = the green
output; daylight fluorescent is 8 times the blue output] - sorry,
Mr. Edison!) Scandles is self ballasted and flicker free
(39 kHz), drawing only 1.6 Amp (200 watt model) which, with reflector,
produces a light of quantity and quality similar to a 575 W HMI
with a CHIMERA softbox (420 Fc/M). Its 10,000 hr. 5500º K
lamps can be switched on or off 2 lamps at a time and exchanged
with 3000º K or other color balanced lamps. (Note:
Consider just the lamp replacement costs across 10,000 hrs- Scandles,
$200 vs HMI, $5000 to $10,000.)
The light from the single Scandles
instrument is quickly changed by means of a growing group of
additional accessories: such as Folding Cone Reflector (shown
below), Aluminium Cone reflector (honeycomb grid and diffusers
available); and Scandles is the only fluorescent fixture ready
for various manufacturers softboxes or china balls, such as Chimera
(shown below right), our Wafers,
Westcott or Photoflex. Call for further accessory details. |
