Litepanels Lykos Overview

Featuring a lightweight, slim design, a handle on the side for precision adjustment, large SMT LEDs, high CRI, and other outstanding features, the LYCOS Daylight LED Light from Manfrotto is a modern-style, highly-user-oriented on-camera light with a lot of punch.

The 48 SMT LEDs (Surface Mount Technology), designed for improved optical efficiency, feature a >93 CRI high color accuracy and provide 1600 lux max brightness at 3.3 ft. The color-temperature is a constant 5600K daylight, and brightness is adjustable flicker-free by a 100-0% dimmer. The dimmer is positioned next to the handle on the side of the light, so you'll have it right at your fingertips when you adjust the light into position using the handle. The brightness adjustment can also be made remotely via an iPhone app by incorporating an optional LYKOS Bluetooth Dongle. This can be very useful when you have the light mounted on a tripod and especially when you're using multiple units.

There's also an LCD display on the rear and its background color is light-blue, which will make reading it easier in darker environments, and which generally has a richer, more modern look. The LCD provides brightness, battery status, and other info.

The light features a recessed L-Series battery mount on the rear supporting all Sony and third-party L-Series batteries. It also comes with an AC adapter that will get you started right away and that can be used for continuous studio power. A diffusion gel is also supplied, and you can also attach an optional LYKOS LED Softbox to achieve more effective diffusion. Two 1/4"-20 mounting threads are available: one on top, one on the bottom.

question

Hello! Does the AC adapter also charge the battery if you have a battery installed, or will the user have to carry a separate charger?
Asked by: Anonymous
The AC Adapter is just for powering the light, you will not be able to charge the battery with it. You will need a battery charger as well. We recommend a kit from Watson that has an NP-F975 battery and a wall charger.

Can you mount this light on a standard Arri stand as it is out of the box, or is an adaptor needed?
Asked by: Tom
It would be best to attach the Manfrotto Lite-Tite Swivel Umbrella Adapter, BH # MA026 to the bottom of the Lykos + for any light stand. https://bhpho.to/3JS79h7

Hello, is it possible to use D-tap power supply with these lights? (D-tap voltage is rated approximately 15 Volts)
Asked by: Ondrej
What you could use is the SmallHD D-Tap to L-Series Dummy Battery Cable (32"), BH # SMDTSLFB to connect to a power supply with a D-tap. https://bhpho.to/3bXnPEt
