Rosco 3 x 6" LitePad Axiom (Daylight)
Rosco's LitePad is a groundbreaking LED light source for videographers, photographers and filmmakers who need a small, lightweight unit with a variety of mounting options that can light areas where standard light sources simply won't fit.
Rosco's 3 x 6" LitePad Axiom (Daylight) is one of the company's next generation panels which features a rugged aluminum and steel housing with an integrated gel slot and provision for attachment of Axiom series arms, brackets and adapters via 1/4"-20 bolt or baby pin for maximum flexibility. Other mounting options include Velcro and gaffers tape for the smaller units which measure 3 x 6" - 12 x 12 " and weigh in at just 0.8 - 3.95 lb. Even the 24 x 24" panel weighs only 13.7 lb. The power connector is now removable to facilitate packing and minimize cord damage and downtime. Input voltage is 100 - 240V AC. Lamp life is estimated at 60,000 hours making the LitePad virtually maintenance-free. The color balance is daylight (5800K) but the LitePad is also is available in tungsten (3800K) balance.
- Rugged Design
- LitePad Axiom's housing is constructed from steel and aluminum making it the strongest, most durable LitePad available. The metal housing also allows for the attachment of different mounting hardware and filters directly to the LitePad. Inside of every LitePad Axiom is a LitePad HO+, which means you get all of the benefits of the HO+ product line.
- Versatile Mounting
- With LitePad Axiom's quick-release mounting system, it is now possible to change out the mounting option in just a few seconds. Whether it is a 1/4"-20 bolt, a baby pin or even a wall plate, it only takes a moment for a solid connection.
- Interior Connector
- LitePad's new interior connector eliminates the traditional wire, which had the potential to be pulled out during use. Based on user feedback, this feature was introduced to make the LitePad more rugged and easier to use.
- Daylight / Tungsten
- LitePad is available in two color temperatures, daylight (approx. 5800K) and tungsten (approx. 3800K). With tungsten and daylight LitePads, which have equal light output, there is no need to color correct your LitePad, losing valuable light intensity. LitePad's minimum green content allows for high color rendering and great film and digital photography.
- Soft Quality of Light
- One of LitePad's most important attributes is the quality of light it produces. LitePad outputs a soft, even beam of light which is perfect for filling in shadows, creating "beauty" light, or to mimic a practical light in the scene. LitePad has been hailed as the perfect "get me out of trouble" light because little needs to be done when using LitePad in order to make it produce beautiful light.
- Low Heat
- Because LitePad is an LED light source, the amount of heat generated is very low. In the center of the LitePad, the unit is cool to the touch. The edges, where the LEDs are located, are only slightly warm. This means that LitePads can be left on all day in a small set without making the room unbearable to work in.
- Minimal Power Consumption
- With each LED only consuming a quarter of a watt, LitePad is an extremely energy efficient light source. There is no longer the need for kilowatts of power or a generator to power a set full of lights. A few dozen LitePads can easily run off of available household power.
- Easy on the Eyes
- Unlike many LED sources, LitePad is a bounced LED light - not an array of LEDs pointing directly forward. Performers or technicians can look directly into LitePad without squinting, hurting their eyes or getting a headache.
- Dimmable
- LitePads are a fully dimmable LED product. The proprietary Single Fader Dimmer and 2 CH / DMX Dimmer can smoothly dim any standard size LitePad with no color temperature change. With LitePad's dimmers, you are able to set the exact light intensity you need.

Comments about Rosco 3 x 6" LitePad Axiom (Daylight):
ok. first off there are hardly any reviews out there of these litepads, so here ya go:
Construction of the axiom housing is beautifully durable, but so user friendly to get off (talking tiny little screws here). When you hold this thing in your hand you can tell that it's money well spent.
It comes with the grip plate, which they fail to mention in the description, but is a pleasant surprise. UNFORTUNATELY the plate does not fit SNUG in place and has wiggle. Now this shouldn't be a problem if you're mounting this a relatively motionless station. However, for on board lighting this is an automatic deal breaker for me. My rig cannot have any wiggling or loose parts. It just can't. I must say, I loved the way this thing looks with my camera.
UNFORTUNATELY the battery holder/bracket does not fit comfortably onto the 3x6 litepad. It looks awkward and kind of hangs off, this is because it affixes to the grip plate only. That's the second deal breaker for me, even though I planned to power it with my Switronix, the battery option is still a luxury I cannot afford to be without.
Aside from that, this is a great product, well built and looks attractive. I bought this litepad for it's FORM and not for FUNCTION. This is a very soft light that acts a small fill or spot (with accessory). But still, the light produced is beautiful light with no color change, green, or flickering or anything!
I bought this thing because: Lightweight, very thin, low power consumption, and the fact that the light will not BLIND your subjects. A problem that many overlook, but some of the LED lights out there are just painful to look into.
All in all I returned it, but I do plan on buying another one (next size up though) however the grip plate issue has put this at the bottom of my wish list.
