Kino Flo Celeb 450Q LED Fixture - Pole Op

The Celeb® 450Q LED DMX is one of the largest LED soft panels available in the market today measuring 30” x 26” (76cm x 66cm). The Celeb LED produces a soft, broad, wraparound light quality (CRI 95) and produces color faithfully, beautifully on HD or film, in the studio or on location. 

The Celeb 450Q has three Menu options, one white and two color menus. Those who prefer to work with white light can use the "white menu" that gives the user access to Dimming, Kelvin and Green/Magenta control channels. Kelvin range is from 2700K tungsten to 6500K daylight.

Key Features:

• Kelvin presets
• Dial-in color temperature control between 2700K-6500K
• Extended color palette from 2500K-9900K
• Green/Magenta Control
• Hue angle and Saturation adjustments
• RGB control
• Works with Apps with predetermined RGB presets or color wheels
• Can use preset buttons to store custom Kelvin settings
• Light levels do not change when selecting Kelvin settings
• No color shift while dimming

In the color menu, the Kelvin range travels from 2500K tungsten to 9900K daylight, and Kino Flo has set up a fourth channel called Gel. The Gel channel includes Kino Flo presets such as blue & green screen, sodium vapor, mercury vapor and over 100 well-known lighting gels. In addition, there is also a fifth channel called Hue Angle and sixth channel, Saturation. These two channels behave similar to a traditional color wheel, where you have white light in the center, and the Hue angle determines the color along a 360-degree range, and Saturation determines how much color is applied. The second color menu provides individual red, green, blue (RGB) control. The RGB menu is a great way to work with apps with predetermined RGB presets or color wheels. 

Kino Flo's Celeb 450Q LED also comes with standard DMX and wireless DMX (Lumen Radio®) and universal voltage input 100-240VAC (2.0 Amps at 120V). We also recently added new SnapBag Softbox and SnapGrid accessories.

The user can also dial in any color through Hue Angle and Saturation.  The second color menu provides individual red, green, blue (RGB) control.  This menu is a great way to work with Apps with predetermined RGB presets or color wheels.  

With built-in DMX and Lumen Radio® receivers, the Celeb 450Q LED can be controlled by DMX and/or DMX wireless with DMX auto terminate. The energy efficient Celeb 450Q LED DMX runs on universal input voltage from 100-240VAC at only 2.0A (120VAC). 

Celeb 450Q LED DMX Control Panel – White Mode      

• A) On /Off: On = Green light displayed. Off = Red light displayed. The display and all menu settings can be operated while the power button is in the Off position, as long as power is applied to the controller. The On /Off button only controls the light source.
• B) Menu: Provides access to menu options such as General settings, Reset, DMX and DMX Wireless settings. Tip: While on control screen, press and hold for 3 seconds to switch through menus (White, Gels & Hue, RGB).
• C) Kelvin & G/M (Green/Magenta) Preset Buttons: Factory defaults left to right are: 2700K, 3200K, 5000K and 6500K. G/M default value is 000. User can also use these preset buttons to store custom Kelvin and G/M settings.
• D) Display: Provides access to Dim, Kelvin, G/M, and DMX channel. Factory reset will show: Dim = 10%, Kelvin = 2700K, G/M = 000, DMX = 001.
• E) Lock: Press the Lock button to disable all buttons and control knob. Press for 3 seconds to restore presets to default factory settings.
• F) Mode: Press to navigate from Dim to Kelvin and G/M settings. When in sub-menus, pressing Mode always returns you to main display. When DMX is applied, use Mode to access DMX channel on main display. Tip: Long press will bring you back one step.

DMX Note: Each Celeb 450Q LED has an “AUTO TERMINATE” feature. The last fixture that does not have an XLR cable attached to the DMX “Out” port will automatically terminate.

Celeb LED 450Q DMX Advantages

• Energy Efficiency

  The Celeb 450Q LED DMX operates on universal AC power and needs only 2.0A (120VAC) to produce more lumens than a 1k tungsten softlight.  The Celeb’s cost savings from low energy and long lamp life continues Kino Flo’s reputation as an environmentally friendly lighting company.

• All-in-one Design

  The Celeb 450Q LED DMX is comprised of a rugged metal alloy fixture which includes state of the art electronics with onboard and DMX dimming and runs universally at 100-240VAC.  With three menus, White and two Color menus, presets can be fine-tuned to custom settings from 2700K to 6500K in the white menu and custom settings from 2500K to 9900K in the color menus.  In the white menu, the user has access to Green/Magenta control.  In the first color menu, there are three additional channels, Gels, Hue Angle and Saturation.  In the second color menu, the user has access to individual Red, Green, Blue (RGB) control which works great with Apps with predetermined RGB presets or color wheels.
  
  Light levels do not change when selecting Kelvin settings and there is no color shift while dimming.  With its slim profile design, the Celeb LED includes a removable honeycomb louver.  The molded corner accessory holders can also be used as a 4-point rope hang.  With wireless capability, the Celeb 450Q LED can be operated DMX wirelessly as an alternative to DMX cables. The all-in-one design with universal VAC and DMX operation makes the Celeb 450Q LED a versatile and portable tool whether it’s in the studio or on location.

• Yoke Mount and Pole-Op

  The Yoke Mount fixture includes a welded alloy yoke bale offering unlimited orientation of fixture movement to focus the light when lighting from a grid.  The Pole-Op Yoke includes an attached junior pin and offers advantage of lighting from a grid and eliminating the need for ladder access or costly automated rigging and hoist systems.

• Long LED Life

  Rated lifetime is up to 50,000 hours.  With its long LED life, the Celeb’s unique design maintains its color-correct color temperature.

• True Match® Color-Correct

  As with all Kino Flo products, the Celeb 450Q LED has been specially formulated to match the spectral distribution curves of today’s HD film and video equipment.  The Celeb LED has a high color rendering index of CRI 95.  Even while dimming, the fixture is flicker-free and without color shift.

• Heat Management Design

  For Kino Flo, heat management is a critical design element of fixture design.  The physical heat or buildup heat within the LED fixture will directly influence the color temperature, lumen performance and life of the LED. 
  
  The Celeb’s unique design operates coolly, consumes very low energy (2.0A, 120VAC) and is properly ventilated to maintain a stable color temperature.
  
  A well maintained temperature extends the lumen maintenance, color temperature and life of the LED. 

Cost Savings

Cost savings attributed to the Celeb 450Q LED cover a broad range of concerns:

• Low energy costs
• Less heat so low air conditioning expenses
• No gel replacements because of low heat

• Energy Savings Calculations

  With the push for reducing fossil fuel consumption, TV studios are looking at cooler more efficient lighting systems to reduce the costs and save energy.  Part of this process involves generating energy values to determine savings.  One of the most important values is Btu/kWh.

British Thermal Units per Kilowatt Hour

Any light generates a percentage of usable light and the rest in heat.  For example, a standard incandescent light bulb converts only 11 percent of its electrical input into visible light, while the rest is dissipated directly as heat.  There are energy costs involved in cooling the studio environment.  The measure of Btu/kWh is a means of calculating the thermal loads related to operating lighting.

Use the following information to calculate Btu/kWh Watts to Btu:

• 1 kWh = 3413 Btu/Hr
• 1 Watt = 3.413 Btu/Hr
• 3.413 Btu per Watt-hour
