Production schedules are as tight as ever and any time saved in avoiding re-lamping or swapping out filters or fixtures means money saved. The Litepanels 1X1 Bi-Color Variable Color Temperature LED Flood Light is the perfect solution to this problem. Shift from 3200K or 5600K or anywhere in between with the turn of a knob. For the first time, instead of filtering a source's fixed color temperature, you can dial in the precise look and temperature that you want. Matching Lightpanels sources is easier too, thanks to the highly consistent nature of LEDs.
All the other features that we've come to appreciate from the 1x1 are on-board. Multi-voltage AC or compatibility with various DC sources, including the Litepanels 1.75 hour Lithium-ion battery, makes the 1X1 the go-to source for studio or field applications.
The slim construction (1.75" deep) and light weight (3 lbs) ensure that you can use multiple fixtures virtually anywhere they will fit without fear of injuring the talent of damaging the set.
100-0% dimming with minimal color shift has always been an outstanding feature of the 1x1, but the new Bi-Color adds Integrated DMX, enabling remote operation of the unit from theater-style dimmer boards.
Additionally, individual units can be ganged into large banks (2 x 2,' 4 x 4,' etc.) via accessory frames and yokes.

Comments about Litepanels 1X1 Bi-Color Variable Color Temperature LED Flood Light:
I shoot Stills and Video these days. In some cases both at the same job. Having 2 of these lights (need more). I am matching indoor light with outdoor or strobe or yesterday all 3 mixed in. These lights work very well. I am on battery so everything moves quick and in the Healthcare/For-Profit/Non-Profit business world I live in. I think these Bi-Colors are great.
And the Clients think it is so Hi Tech looking that I get more work just for that reason alone sometimes... ;-)
Yes the output is low, but in my world it can be just right.

The Bi-Color is definitely the way to go if you are interested in the LP 1x1. Full Color Control, without having to switch gels all day long. It is very light and portable. Works great with the Battery Adapter as well. You can shoot all day without plugging into a single power outlet.

Comments about Litepanels 1X1 Bi-Color Variable Color Temperature LED Flood Light:
I use the bi-color light for absolutely everything I do, which is a lot of ENG as well as narrative shoots. I've taken it into the woods at night for 10 hours and used it just as a hair light in studio. It is highly portable, lighting quick to set up and adjust. The Anton Bauer battery lasts forever.

Comments about Litepanels 1X1 Bi-Color Variable Color Temperature LED Flood Light:
I've been using a Kino Flo Diva light as my "go to" light for years. The problem is it's size and set-up time if I want to switch from daylight to tungsten.
This light fixes those issues, with the only drawback being less light output. Which I'm finding a reasonable price to pay for increased portability and ease of use. Plus having the option to run on DC power is a life saver for small run and gun productions.
In my opinion this is a must have for a solo videographer/filmmaker. Make sure you invest in the Anton Bauer battery option.

Comments about Litepanels 1X1 Bi-Color Variable Color Temperature LED Flood Light:
I LOVE it! Highly flexible choice of dialing full range between "Daylight" and "Tungsten" white balance. Full-range dimmer. ON/OFF switch. That's all you have to learn and fiddle with. At 3 lbs carrying weight, and using only 40 watts, this "no heat" LED light is wonderful when toting around gear. Can buy a battery for "on location" shots. If it were cheaper, I would buy 2 or 3 more. You can use as a close main light, or further away as a fill light. For portraits of a seated subject, put it up about 7.5 feet.

the ability to go tungsten to daylight fast and to be able to dim it is fantastic...
