Bescor FP-180 Overview

The Field Pro Field Pro FP-180SL Bi-Color On-Camera 1-Light Battery Kit from Bescor is comprised of a FP-180 variable color light with articulating mount, 74" air-cushioned light stand, multi-voltage AC adapter, and metal hooks for hanging the lights. A FP-98NC 14.4V lithium-ion battery pack and chargers gives the FP-180 5 hours of run time for location work.

The FP-180's panel has 90 daylight-balanced and 90 tungsten-balanced LEDs that permit the color output to be varied from 3200 to 5400K to match prevailing light conditions or integrate seamlessly with other light sources. For further versatility a separate control allows you to adjust the light intensity from 100-10% without flicker at all levels. The FP-180 can be powered by 8 AA batteries, 14.4V battery packs, or with a multi-voltage AC adapter. A diffusion filter and orange color correction filter are included to allow you soften or adjust the color temperature of the light. The FP-180's articulating mount enables on-camera use or stand mounting via a 1/4"-20 tap in the mount's base.

The included FP-98NC 14.4V lithium-ion battery pack is a 98Wh, clip-on battery pack for devices operating between 14 and 16V. When used with the FP-180, it has a run time of nearly 5 hours. It has a 2.5mm DC power output for compatible 2.5mm DC devices. It hangs from the waist with a military-style belt clip.

The universal, automatic BC-98L lithium-ion battery charger included in the kit can be used safely worldwide with the addition of an optional plug adapter when needed. It will charge the FP-98NC from depletion in 4-5 hours.

Bescor FP-180 Reviews

What I was looking for

By Barry
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2021-03-16

Putting together a remote studio, this worked very nicely for me. They've also added some adjustment refinements since the last time I purchased this kit. Decent value for the money.

Color temps are off

By Ryan
Rated 3 out of 5
Date: 2017-03-07

for the price I guess it's the situation you get what you pay for, So I cant bash on the ratings too badly. But with that being said, I would save up to purchase a quality LED that has true color temps. IMO it's not worth the time to test the light out to try to correct the temps in camera and on the light itself and then also attempt to get corrected colors in post.

We recommend the Photoflex Transpac Single Kit Case B&H # PHSKB which would have plenty of room for the items in this Bescor kit. Please see the image below for reference.

question

Is there a bag anyone would recommend?
Asked by: David
While we do not have a case that is designed specifically for this kit, two cases we carry that would be closest for a recommendation would be either the Lightware C6032 32 Cargo Case, Padded (Black), B&H # LIC6032, or the Impact Light Kit Bag #3, B&H # IMLKB3.

Can these lights be purchased without stands?
Asked by: Robert
That exact light is only available with stands or clamps. It is not available just a light. There are others that are similar that are available just as light.

question

How many watts is the output of the Bescor FP-180 Bi-Color Dimmable LED Light?
Asked by: Anonymous
They advertise equivalent to a 500W tungsten. But they use 2 different color LEDs to be able to deliver 3200 Kelvin and 5600 kelvin temp light. so when set at 3200 only half the LEDs are lit. When set at 5600 Kelvin the other half of the LEDs are lit. when you dial a them to a temp between 3200 and 5600 you get a blend of all the LEDs and at @4200 Kelvin you are at full brightness. These are excellent lights I have not been disappointed with my purchase.
