Lightweight Foton Adds Professional Light

New to the Ianiro UK range of lighting equipment is the Foton, a small, lightweight and versatile variable-beam unit. It is powerful, inexpensive and waterproof.
Manufactured by PRG, the Foton is a highly colour-accurate digital light source designed specifically for motion picture, broadcast and professional photography. Producing a 95+ colour-rendering index (CRI), the Foton virtually eliminates the challenges of lighting with the discontinuous spectrum inherent in most LED lighting sources.
Instead, completely natural-looking light is generated using remote phosphor technology, requiring no colour correction, while correlating perfectly with professional light and colour meters. Impressively, it is dimmable from 0% To 100% with no colour shift.
The Foton is a 1.3Kg go-anywhere light. It is able to operate at temperatures from -20 to +50 degrees while its sealing means it is suitable for use unprotected in wet locations, being able to withstand water saturation.

Nick Allen-Miles of distributor Ianiro UK commented: "The Foton will be welcomed by everyone from ENG camera men shooting outdoors in European drizzle to film makers facing wintry mountain conditions. Its small size, high output and low power consumption means it will also be a welcome addition for specialist crews working underground, in disaster zones or desert environments."
Cost-saving features include an estimated 50,000-hour life, and, in spite of its 1,000-lumen output, the Foton draws less than 30 watts and requires no cooling fans. This is achieved despite employing a direct-drive array that eliminates flicker at any frame rate.
