Kino Flo debuts 360-degree colour LEDs

Kino Flo Lighting Systems will unveil its new colour swatch offerings for Select and Diva-Lite LEDs at Camerimage. A new firmware upgrade adds a large palette of colours to its LED line of portable soft lights. Kino LED lightweight location systems can reproduce a wide variety of professional cine gel colours, blend with warm white fluorescents, mix to sodium vapour and balance to any lighting or camera colour sensitivity profile.

The new firmware upgrade enables users to dial-in nearly any colour, from deeply saturated violet blue to a VFX 560nm supergreen, and upwards into the warmer climes of light straw, flame and salmon red, with all hue, angle and saturation values of the colour wheel in between.

Using the green/magenta settings, Kino LEDs can colour-balance to any professional or practical light source on the set. Cinematographers can map the lights onto the spectral sensitivity curves of all makes and models of digital cameras and save the profiles as presets.
