Kino Flo Diva-Lite 21 LED DMX Kit, Univ w/ Travel Case

Diva-Lite 21 LED DMX

Diva-Lite LED now has three Menu options, one white and two colour 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. 

In the colour 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 colour wheel, where you have white light in the center, the Hue angle determines the colour along a 360-degree range, and Saturation determines how much colour is applied. The second colour menu provides individual red, green, blue (RGB) control. The RGB menu is a great way to work with apps with predetermined RGB presets or colour wheels. 

Kino Flo's new Diva-Lite LED also comes with standard DMX and wireless DMX (Lumen Radio®), 24VDC input, and universal voltage input 100-240VAC (1.25 Amps at 120VAC). We also recently added new SnapBag Softbox and SnapGrid accessories.

Diva-Lite 21 LED Fixture

The Diva-Lite LED fixture includes built-in DMX electronics with wireless capability, removable 90° Honeycomb Louver and center mount with baby receiver lollipop. It was designed in this manner to allow the greatest flexibility in lighting solutions for challenging situations.

• Mounting

  The Center Mount has a ball and socket design with a lock down knob. To orient the fixture, loosen the knob, position the fixture, then lock down the knob. At the other end of the Center Mount is a baby receiver (16mm) that can go directly onto a light stand.

• Mounted on a Stand

  The Diva-Lite LED can be rigged into a mafer clamp with baby pin. The eyelet next to the mount is used as a safety point. The Kino Offset w/ Baby Receiver, MTP-B41F (sold separately) can be used to center the weight and balance of the fixture on a stand. It can also be under slung from a baby stand to use as an up light.

Diva-Lite LED DMX

The Diva-Lite LED DMX includes state of the art features; dial-in variable colour temperature control; full-range dimming; programmable presets; three menu options, one white and two colour menus. The “white menu” gives the user access to Dimming, Kelvin, and Green/Magenta control channels. Kelvin range is from 2700K to 5500K.

In the first colour 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 colour wheel, where you have white light in the center, the Hue angle determines the colour along a 360-degree range, and Saturation determines how much colour is applied. The second colour menu provides individual red, green, blue (RGB) control. This menu is a great way to work with Apps with predetermined RGB presets or colour wheels.

With built-in DMX and Lumen Radio® receivers, the Diva-Lite LED’s can be controlled by DMX and/or DMX wireless with DMX auto terminate. The energy efficient Diva-Lite LED DMX runs on universal input voltage from 100-240VAC at only 1.25A (120VAC) or can also operate 24VDC using only 6.25A.

Diva-Lite LED DMX Control Panel - White Mode

• 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.

Diva-Lite LED Advantages

Energy Efficiency

The Diva-Lite LED DMX operates on universal AC power or battery power and needs only 1.25A at 120VAC or 6.25A at 24VDC (Diva-Lite 21 LED). The Diva-Lite LED’s cost savings from low energy and long LED life continues Kino Flo’s reputation as an environmentally friendly lighting company.

All-in-one Design

The Diva-Lite LED is comprised of a lightweight fixture design with built-in barndoors and a removable 90° honeycomb louver. The center mount with baby receiver lollipop can mount directly onto a baby stand or hang from a grid with a baby pipe clamp. 

The Diva-Lite LED features onboard state of the art electronics with presets and custom settings with three menu options, one white menu and two colour menus. In white mode, users have access to Dimming, Kelvin and Green/Magenta control channels. Kelvin range is from 2700K tungsten to 6500K daylight. Light levels do not change when selecting Kelvin settings. In the first colour 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. The second colour menu provides individual red, green, blue (RGB) control. This menu is a great way to work with apps with predetermined RGB presets or colour wheels. With built-in DMX and 

Lumen Radio® receivers, the Diva-Lite LED’s can be controlled by DMX and/or DMX wireless. With universal input at 100-240VAC, the Diva-Lite 30 LED uses only 1.25A at 120VAC or 6.25A at 24VDC. The unique all-in one features and portable design make the Diva-Lite LED a versatile tool in the studio or on location.

Long LED Life

LED’s are well known as being energy efficient, lasting for thousands of hours. While Kino Flo’s Diva-Lite LED also has a long LED life, the Diva-Lite LED’s unique design will maintain its colour-correct colour temperature.

True Match® Colour-Correct

As with all Kino Flo products, the Diva-Lite LED has been specially formulated to match the spectral distribution curves of today’s HD film and video equipment. The Diva-Lite LED has a high colour rendering index of CRI 95. Even while dimming, the fixture is flicker-free and without colour 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 colour temperature, lumen performance and life of an LED. 

The Diva-Lite LED’s unique design operates coolly, consumes very low energy (1.25A, 120VAC) and is properly ventilated to maintain a stable colour temperature. A well maintained temperature extends the lumen maintenance, colour temperature and life of an LED.

Cost Savings

Cost savings cover a broad range of concerns:

• Lower energy costs
• Less heat so lower air conditioning expenses

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
