Element Labs' Kelvin Technology Series LED-based lighting system will be available for rent through Kino Flo in September 2007.
"By combining Element Labs' advancement in LED technology with Kino Flo's industry experience we look forward to developing tools that will further advance the art of filmmaking," says Kino Flo president and founder, Frieder Hochheim.
The Kelvin Technology Series represents a major advancement in the application of LEDs to create intelligent, controllable lighting, says the company. It provides variable colour temperature and maintains a colour rendering index (CRI) of 95 between 3200 K and 6500 K. It also offers digital gelling, the ability to dial in a desired theatrical gel, and the option to save, recall, and clone a series of lighting parameters.
"Element Labs is honoured to be partnering with the leader in film and television lighting," says Nils Thorjussen, CEO and president of Element Labs. "Cinematographers and gaffers look to Kino Flo for state-of-the-art technology and Element Labs is proud to contribute its cutting-edge LED innovation to their product offering."
