The PICO LED is the latest Cine 60 product. Having the same durable housing as the PICO 3, it uses an LED rather than an HMI and also has an incorporated dimmer.

PICO LED with dimmer and 4-barn-door. Filter optional.

LED technology is the most efficient lighting technology available at the moment. But the dispersion of the available light can be a problem. Using only one very bright LED tends to make the talent squint as the light is very bright and very intense at the source, the usable illumination, on the other hand, is minimal. The alternative is to use a cluster of LEDs which, if poorly condensed, often leads to multiple shadows.

Our solution is to use one powerful LED – and a glass lense, that disperses the light in a way very similar to normal tungsten lamps. The angle of radiation we reach with the lens is approximately 60°! Color temperature is 6000° Kelvin; our optional colour-correction filter brings that down to 4500° Kelvin.

The effective illumination of the 3W LED combined with the lens can be compared to that of a 20W tungsten camera light. The built-in dimmer allows for reducing the intensity without severely changing the color temperature.

The PICO LED can be operated from 6.8V to 20V - so it can be used either directly with DV / HDV type batteries - or it can be connected to the power-outlet of your camcorder. The power consumption is approx. 4W which means that the lamp will not increase the total power consumption of the camera to a point which can be harmful for most of the camera batteries currently available. This aspect is especially important when the camera is one of the new, power hungry HD generation.

Of course the PICO LED can also be used with one of our battery belts in which case it will run for days on end.
