Basic Electrical Tips for Film Lighting

Basic Electrical Tip of the Day for Film / Video / Photo Lighting

Electrical wall outlets (plugs) found in homes and businesses are rated at either 15 amps or 20 amps.  Modern commercial buildings will only have 20 amp circuits, but older commercial buildings will have some 15 amp circuits.  Most residential homes will have 15 amp circuits in the bedrooms and living room and 20 amp circuits in the kitchen and family room.  A typical circuit will have up to 10 wall outlets on the circuit.  15 amp circuits are wired with 14 gauge wire and 20 amp circuits are wired with 12 gauge wire. 

15 amp circuits are rated at 1800W.  20 amp circuits are rated at 2400W.  When you exceed 1800W or 2400W on the given circuit, the circuit breaker will trip, cutting off power.

Architectural 4 Color LED Track Lighting with Rosco Miro Cube by Black Tank

Rosco-miro-cube-led-light-4c-black-tank-2

 

Rosco Miro Cube 4C LED Light Designed by Black Tank

From walls to washes to uplighters, the MIRO CUBE™ 4C color mixing wash light offers a designer maximum creativity in a tiny package. Using best in class RGBW quad color, multi channel chips, a gorgeous palette of saturated, mid-tone and pale tint colors can be dialed in at the touch of a button. And of course, a true white is always available as well, not the unflattering mixed amber compromise found in other lights. Smart programming in the MIRO CUBE™ 4C includes a stand-alone color wash mode or allows multiple units to be easily slaved together, synchronized and offset using self-generated DMX for color chases and other dynamic lighting patterns without a console. Use it alone, configured in strips & arrays or built-in for virtually any application needing colored light – from stage, studios and location, bars and casinos, to stores, windows and lobbies.

Features and Benefits:

 

  • 3W single chip quad color LED emitters blend light without multiple shadows
  • RGB+W color mixing balances a dramatic saturated palette with the nuances of a subtle range of tints and accent colors.
  • Optional "Filament Mode" mimics the delayed blackout glow of an incandescent lamp
  • Low 48W power consumption puts more than 45 fixtures on a single 20A circuit
  • No expensive power supply units or ballast required. Directly connect 90-240vAC mains power.
  • Comes with a complete lens set from 15° very narrow spot up to 70° wide flood
  • Flicker free DMX dimming and control
  • Intuitive full text LCD panel for manual operation
  • Compact design suitable for mounting in small spaces or architectural installations.
  • Track Light mounting adapters available for many common track brands or with our fully integrated DMX Data Track.
  • Auto temperature sensing with fault detection and protection
  • ETL listed

 

Color and Control

With its RGB+W emitters, mixing the right color is simple for the MIRO CUBE 4C. But the quality of that light is what sets it above the crowd. Powered by the newest generation of 4 channel chips from Osram, the fully blended color mix offers the superior rendering and a single cohesive colored shadow. Combined with a complete with a set of lenses in 20°, 40° and 60° beam spreads, the MIRO CUBE 4C gives a lighting designer all the control they demand from modern luminaires. Quick attach barn doors are available as an additional option.

Innovative Compact Design

Very little space is wasted in the elegant rugged design of the MIRO CUBE. Our unique patent-pending heat management system allows 50 watts of LEDs to be packed into a tiny 4 inch cube, half the space needed by the most popular comparable lights on the market. The MIRO CUBE has been engineered to be durable, reliable and affordable without sacrificing the qualities expected by demanding lighting professionals.

Future Proof

With heat sinks, power supplies and electronics assemblies common to all three models, the MIRO CUBE luminaires have been designed to be future proof, allowing our engineers to quickly respond to improvements in LED technologies without significant alterations to the base unit. Completely connectorized internally, new LED boards can be installed in minutes – for repairs or upgrades or even converting a 4C to a WNC on the fly.

Sophisticated yet Simple

Ready for the most demanding professional environments, the MIRO CUBE is powered by a positive locking Neutrik connector and has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX input and output. Two universes of high speed DMX512 in 8 or 16 bit resolution allow for completely flicker free dimming from your console. An optional "Filament Mode" can be set to mimic the fade of an incandescent lamp going to black. For use without DMX, an intuitive full text LCD control panel dials in brightness and color temperature.

Versatile and Modular

Small enough to be built into scenery or soffits, and light enough to mount as a track light. A novel yoke design allows CUBES to be easily hung with c-clamps, configured in linear strips or stacked arrays, mounted on c-stands, fit with floor trunions, converted to canopy mount and retrofit with track hanging adapters – or virtually anything an installer requires.

Take Your Flash Off Camera – Profoto B1 Air Wireless and Battery Powered

Banner-profoto

We call the Profoto B1 an off-camera flash because it is not a speedlight and it is not a monolight. It is a new kind of flash that brings a whole new way of shooting. “Once you try it, it changes everything,” said Richard Walch, the first photographer who tried it. We believe that’s true.

Why? Because it has TTL, so you get a perfect exposure in a flash. Because it is battery-powered and cordless, so you can take it with you wherever you go and put it wherever you want. Add to that the power, speed and light shaping possibilities that Profoto lights are known for, and you have an off-camera flash that makes great light easy.
