Dracast Pro Series LED1000 Bi-Color LED Light Panel (Gold Mount)
Key Features
  • For Live Events, Broadcast & Video
  • Output: 3402 Lux at 3.3' (5600K)
  • 3200-5600K CCT
  • 12 x 12" Panel; AC/DC Operation
At 5.4 lb, the Pro Series LED1000 Bi-Color LED Light Panel from Dracast is an ideal choice for location work, interviews, and small sets where color accuracy, control, and flicker-free output are of major importance. This 12 x 12" panel is significantly larger than the Pro Series LED500 unit. Variable color temperature from 3200 to 5600K means you can quickly match the prevailing ambient or artificial light balance with a simple twist of a knob while others are still applying filters. Dimming is equally convenient via another knob that adjusts the light intensity from 0 to 100% with negligible color shift. Additionally, its high CRI of 96 renders colors with precision and fidelity. The low electrical draw of 60W means a timely return on your investment.

The durable aluminum frame is supported by a sturdy, U-shaped yoke with locking knobs on each side and a standard 5/8" receiver. The LED1000 can be used worldwide, powered by the included 100 to 240 VAC adapter or optional Gold mount 14.8 VDC batteries. Accessories include optional 4-way barndoors for contouring and control of the LED1000's 45° beam angle. A carry case is included for convenient storage and portability.

Well built with replaceable metal parts instead of plastic. Nice system that include barn doors, 60 degree grid, filter holders and a soft box.

I purchased 2 bi-color LED1000 in January. These have been my go to lights for most of me productions. They are portable, light weight, and I can use my gold mount batteries on them. The bi-color is great when adding some color mood to different scenes. I absolutely love the quality.of light coming from these!

Very Impressed

I bought two of the 1000's, Bicolor. Very well built and powerful. Quality of light is very nice and the ability to change light temperature is sweet. I own a ton of Profoto lighting for my stills and have not tried these Dracast LEDs for stills. But I will. For video they are great. Very glad I went with these.

Highly recommend!

Our light is the first choice of Semi-pro and professional videographers for all sorts of productions. When they buy our product, they look for an LED panel that's easy to carry around for travel, is cool touch, bright,color-accurate, and it also puts out a lot of throw. This is a bi-color model, and so you can toggle and blend color temperatures between 3200-5600 Kelvins.

Great lights

The Dracast lights we have bought at B&H are a dream to handle and to work with. Easily the best we´ve had. Can´t imagine how we would manage without them. One more thing: it took just four days to ship and deliver from New York to our place in another continent. Well done! - Helgi.

Does anyone know how bright these are? Lumens? How do they compare to a 1K?
Asked by: Jeff
1 Foot candle = 1 Lumen per square foot 1 Foot Candle = 10.57 lux The photometrics tables can be converted 3800 lux/353 fc at 3.0' / 0.9 m = 3800 lux/353 lumens at 3' Using these formulas you can compare, but the results will not accurate as every lighting company uses different measuring equipment and different environents for testing.

question

I have a couple of these and I'm wondering what people are using for travel cases. Thoughts?
Asked by: Basil
Basil, we had custom flight-travel cases made for when the kit is flying. For local travel we use the bags that came with the lights. The stands go in a polyetheylene tube, also custom made. I am not sure where you are based, but we have several custom travel case manufactureres in Johannesburg, so you should too where you are based.Hope this helps. HenkPuma Video

If needed, is U.S. repair available for these lights? I have two lights from another manufacturer that I have to throw out because they do not have repair services. Not going to buy from a company like that again.

question

How long does the battery last?
Asked by: Anonymous
It depends on the battery.All the batteries for any of our lights come in a variety of capacities.The basic formula is: One Watt-hour (Wh) powers one Watt for one hour.So for the LED1000 Pro (all versions), which pulls 60 Watts, if you had a V-mount battery that had 90 Wh, it would power the light for approximately 90 minutes at full brightness (more if the light was dimmed down at all). // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at [email protected].
