Arri LK.0005549 LoCaster 2 Plus LED AC Single Kit - 1 LED Panel

The LK.0005549 LoCaster Kit features a LoCaster Panel and an attractive basic selection of accessories in a rugged and compact case. The LK.0005549 LoCaster kit is configured for one LoCaster 2 Plus panel, mounting stirrup, barndoor, AC power supply, mounting pin, and carrying case.

The ARRI LoCaster features an easy to use onboard controller with a choice of six color temperature settings, continious dimming and ON/OFF switch. Weighing only 960 gramms (2 lbs), it is an ideal companion for mobile applications.

With color temperature settings adjustable from 2,800 K to 6,500 K and a CRI (Color Rendering Index) of over 94, the ARRI Caster LED fixtures adapt easily to an existing lighting installation or to the variable conditions of a location shoot. They also make use of ARRI LED Technology, guaranteeing natural light characteristics, single shadow rendering, consistent light output and absolute color stability.

ARRI introduces the LED Caster Series - high output, low heat, low power consuming units that offer a tuneable white light source. A special optical design provides single shadow rendering and adjustments over a range of correlated color temperatures. Since the Caster Series offers a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 90, colors appear more vivid and lifelike on digital and film media compared to other units that use single color white or RGB LED configurations.

What truly makes these LED units unique is the shadow quality. Casters emulate a single source, which results in a single shadow. Therefore, the Caster Series can be effectively "cut" with a barndoor or flag. Most other LED fixtures, with multiple LED "points", give multiple shadows and often-times chromatic aberration from different colors of the LEDs. However, these ARRI units have a mixing chamber, so all the colors mix, within the unit - providing a single source.

There are two versions in the LED Caster Series, the LoCaster and the BroadCaster. They offer high output, yet very low power consumption while in a housing that only weighs 2lbs. Both units utilize the same optical principles and the same housing. Each consumes 35W of power and outputs about 550 candelas with a beam angle of 66°.

On the LoCaster, power, dimming and the color temperature may be manually adjusted with onboard controllers. This unit is adjustable to six color temperatures from 2800 Kelvin to 6500 Kelvin.

The LoCaster can be powered in many ways; one of which is a simple power supply that merely plugs into the unit and any household outlet. Battery power is easy to use with the ARRI battery that nests in the stirrup or various onboard and outboard aftermarket batteries.

The advantage of the BroadCaster is that multiple units can be assigned for remote control via a DMX protocol and console. Channel One-is the intensity; Channel Two-is the color temperature-from 2800 to 6500; and Channel Three-is the +/- green adjustment.

The BroadCaster has various power supplies available. One features 3 PowerDMX outlets, which in turn can support up to four BroadCasters per output, in a daisy chain configuration; for a maximum of eight fixtures on a single power supply. The optional intensifier is a valuable accessory. It doubles the light output while creating a tighter beam of light to 33°. Merely slide the optional accessory intensifier in the accessory flutes until it snaps into place.

Both the LoCaster and BroadCaster may be orientated in either portrait or landscape mode. Loosen the rear mounting knob and rotate the fixture 90°. The LoCaster and BroadCaster can be removed from the stirrup by turning the knurled knob to release it completely. This allows you to use other mounting options.

LoCasters are available as AC and AC/DC kits. Also available are `Hybrid' kits in various configurations which combine the LoCaster LED fixtures with our proven small tungsten Fresnels.
