Quickly dial up any color from cool white daylight to soft warm tungsten.

The new Litepanels 1x1 Bi-Color enables never-before possible utility by providing a single light capable of generating any color temperature between 3200�K and 5600�K with a highly efficient light output. The Bi-Color name comes from its design, which incorporates both 3200�K and 5600�K LEDs. This allows a crew to carry one lighting system to cover both tungsten and daylight ambient light conditions.

To further expand the 1x1 Bi-Color�s versatility, the fixtures can vary the mix between tungsten and daylight LEDs to set the resulting color temperature to any point between 3200�K and 5600�K. Color temperature can be dialed in by using either the onboard dial or preset color temperature settings, or via a built in DMX lighting controller. A user can quickly make adjustments to match unusual mixes of color temperature, or to enhance skin tones.

The 1x1 Bi-Color shares many features of Litepanels original 1x1 LED fixture. A fullrange integrated dimmer enables instant dimming from 100% to 0 with minimum shift in color. It is extremely power efficient, requiring less than 10 percent of the electricity needed to power standard lighting units. The modular housing makes it easy to customize the lighting configuration to meet a shoot�s unique requirements. Litepanels 1x1 Bi-Color can be powered from a variety of 12-30V sources, including an optional battery, car battery, or AC adapter. The optional on-board 1.75 hour lithium-ion battery pack provides untethered mobility.
