Compact Daylight Power From PAG PowerArc

PAG, the camera power and lighting specialist, has introduced a new 24W PowerArc plug-in HMI unit, designed for use with its miniaturised 12V camera light - Paglight M.
The Paglight M is a more compact version of the industry standard ENG Paglight. It has a 35mm reflector and measures approximately 90mm, front to back, with the standard halogen lampholder. Its reduced proportions complement perfectly the new generation of smaller broadcast digital camcorders, as well as DV and high-definition hand-held camcorders. The Paglight M maintains many of the features first seen in the design of the original Paglight. It is impact resistant, light-in-weight, and maintains a low temperature during use. The latter is aided by an efficient heat dissipation system, part of the patented design of the lamp head.
The design incorporates the plug-in lamp holder feature which enables the light to be instantly converted from halogen to a metal-halide arc light. The PowerArc utilises a 24W lamp which has an output equivalent to 100W of halogen light, but at daylight colour temperature. It produces a soft, clean and even spectral distribution which is fully-focusable, from spot to flood.
PAG claims that the quality and projection of the HMI light output is far superior to LED lights, and yet the power consumption is relatively low, making the Paglight PowerArc ideally suited to being powered from Li-Ion batteries.
