The Practilite 602 LED Fresnel from Kinotehnik is a small, lightweight light source with a 3.2" borosilicate Fresnel glass lens capable of an impressive spot-to-flood spec of 15 - 75 degrees for variable field coverage. Flexibility is key to the design of the Practilite. Light intensity is variable from 5 to 100% negating the need of jockeying the fixture back and forth once you've found the perfect position. The same goes for color. While others are fumbling with filters you can take advantage of the 602's wide color variability from 3000 to 6000K to match existing light conditions or fixtures or just for creative effects. COB LEDs make possible a high CRI of 96 to ensure faithful rendering of colors down to the subtlest of hues.

The Practilite is designed to work with the Practilite Remote Control app available for iPhones and iPads that lets you control its functions with your iOS or Android device. Additionally, it's Bluetooth compatible, allowing remote control of up to 6 fixtures. Once you're acquainted with the Practilite you'll want to use it everywhere and Kinotehnik makes it easy with the inclusion of a 100-240 VAC power adapter for worldwide use. And no power is no problem. The 602 can also run on V-Mount or Gold Mount batteries with optional adapters. The light comes with 4-way barndoors but it's also compatible with third party 4" studio head light modifiers such as those from Profoto.

Smart Sync Connectivity: The advanced Practilite 602 is ideally suited for permanent and semi-permanent installations. The light is especially effective in places like small and home studios or even for high quality gallery lighting. Smart Sync Connectivity enables synchronous control from one Master fixture.

Smartphone Control via Practilite Remote Control App: The Practilite 602 is designed to be controlled wirelessly with the free Practilite Remote Control App for Android and iOS 8.0+ and Android devices, including both the iPhone and iPad. You can connect and control up to 6 Practilite fixtures wirelessly with your smartphone. Adjust brightness, color temperature and identify connected fixtures for ease of use and convenient operation.

Greater Light Range: This compact and powerful light produces a greater light range than conventional LED fixtures. Its 3.2" (80mm) Fresnel lens has a 15 to 75-degree, spot-to-flood focusable beam angle ensuring wide coverage and pinpoint accuracy.

Variable Color Temperature: Whether it's CFL, LED, halogen or daylight, the Practilite 602 is just the right tool to adapt to various lighting conditions.

Flicker-Free, Compact and Durable: The Practilite 602 is flicker-free, which allows for perfectly lit slow motion shots. Compact and durable, the light's aircraft grade aluminum CNC-machined construction allows safe, easy and cost effective transportation. The universal power supply is usable internationally.

Practilite 602 LED Fresnel is rated 4.3 out of 5 by 12.

Rated 5 out of 5 by JP from solid, works, I'm impressed by the build quality (all aluminium) and the features. It's a really compact but very powerful bi-color fresnel. Easy to set up and adjust. I wasn't sure about the smartphone app but it's surprisingly easy to use. Bluetooth connection works even from 50ft like a charm and no need for annoying Bluetooth pairing, which is nice. I'm using 3 practilites at the same time via iphone in my studio and it's really a huge time saver. I'm running those on my gold- mount PAG batteries and a practilite runs on 100% for more than 2 hours. The boost mode was a bit confusing at first but it's just like an overdrive mode and can be useful when you need some extra lighting power but really don't care about the colour temperature. According to Kinotehnik boost mode must be disabled (or at least not recommended) while running on battery, though? All in all, a solid piece of equipment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Firstline Creative & Media from Perfect for our needs We needed a compact location kit that we can check on airplanes. It needed to be versatile and we wanted to transition to LED lights to cut down on the heat, as we are often shooting interviews in offices and other small rooms. We wanted fresnels to be able to retain depth in our lighting, even in cramped quarters. And we also have to deal with the natural light on location, including exterior windows and incandescent lighting. The Practilite 602 handles all of these situations with excellent color and amazing flexibility. It is true that the output is not as strong as our Arri 650's, but those were overkill for our location interviews. No heat, dial in your color temperature, and the cameraman can adjust intensity and color while behind the camera using his iPhone. These lights are everything we were looking for, plus bonus bluetooth! We bought three of them.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Adventures in Wedding Cinema Tom from Impressive Most versatile light I've ever used, period. I was able to successfully light several wedding receptions, a couple of interviews, a product demo, and a video tutorial. First and foremost, it has great color (CRI of 96!) and the ability to go from 3000K-6000K. I used this light to match daylight as well as tungsten on the same shoot. No need to carry gels around! Second, the flood to spot function is very nice (15-75 degree beam angle) and the fresnel lens gives a very consistent intensity. It is great to spotlight people at a wedding reception from 30 feet away without drawing unwanted attention to myself. It also gets wide enough to provide a large soft key light for interviews or anything else of that nature. The brightness is about the equivalent of a 500w light. The third quality is the ability to mount a battery for total mobility. For run and gun situations this is a great option to have. I used a couple of V-Mount batteries that I already own. Finally, the thing that separates this light from anything else I've used is the bluetooth control via iOS app. The ability to place my lights, sit back behind the camera and dial in the settings remotely is just fantastic. A couple real-life situations where this was invaluable: 1.) I had a light placed up in a balcony completely out of reach. It would have taken about 5 minutes to get back up there, but with the remote app I could dim down and up with no problem. 2.) In the middle of a wedding reception the bride decided to do a dance with her dad unannounced. Instead of running to all 3 of my lights to turn each of them on, I picked up the iPhone and turned them on with the click of a button. It probably saved me about 30-60 seconds which in a one-take environment is priceless. Lastly a couple notes - the light remains cool to the touch even after extended use. There is a fan onboard which is inaudible unless you engage the boost mode in which it becomes just a whisper. The only way you will hear it is if you put your ear to it. The barn doors attach rather easily and pop on and off, need to be careful and not rough with it. There is a boost mode that increases output up to 140% but limits color temp to 4500K. Really the only negative I can see people having is the price, but honestly for the amount of features packed into this I think it's a bargain!

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great Fixture & Amazing Technology, but low lux output... I purchased this light for our studio for use in commercial production and also for special events lighting. Unfortunately the light does not have enough output for our needs. Our main use for the fixture would be at weddings and having the Bluetooth control was huge. (We currently use Lowel Pro lights and also the Dedo lights with RF remotes to turn on and off the lighting and dim it. It's rudimentary but it works.) With an iPhone the communication was good, but once your phone goes to sleep the communication between the light and the phone needs to be re-established and was slow and when shooting weddings, time is of the essence. Also, with a Samsung S5 the communication was bad and left one of my shooters frustrated. But that was less of our reason for returning the light, the light output is not high enough for most venues that we shoot in. We loved the features and concept of the light and if Kinotehnik comes out with a light that has twice the lux output, I would purchase two of these. Also, the light is really well built and would last you a long time. The color temp adjustments were amazing and very useful. This is a well build and designed product, but for the price and lack of light output, I had to return it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by ShakewellStudios from Really Awesome! I've used two of these for corp, commercial and weddings and I think they have an amazing output especially for weddings coming from the Comer 1800 and the 524 cheap but bright LED panels. I might not use these as a key light for commercial work but other then that they are great for most situations. The app works great and even if my phone goes to sleep I find it doesn't take that long to get back into the app and get it connected. The spot and flood is really nice and the temp control is a nice feature to help dial in the precise temp you want. If you are doing weddings and want to not have to plug into a wall you will need the P-tap cable for about $29 and the 14 volt battery for each light. I also bought size 12 shoe bag holders from Amazon, folded them in half and double stitched them to hold the battery in. It then can be hung next to the light on a light stand. The battery is solid with nowhere to hang it so it must be in something. This will make it top heavy so be sure to get a solid light stand and maybe add one sandbag to it or place it by the DJ's speaker. I will def update this review after I shoot a few more weddings. This is prob the next best option to the expensive dedo lights. For this price I feel you get more for your dollar.

Rated 4 out of 5 by photographer wannabee from Quality build Just had an all day video shoot. It was various lectures in front of a small audience. Placed lights about 25-30ft away from podium. Room was dimly lit with existing florescent lights...some were turned off to make it darker for projection screen. My camera canon xa10 1/3 inch chip therefore not very good in low light. 1. Love practical packaging ie. foam cut out therefore transport was easy and safe to gig 2. Easy to set up lights, cords long enough 3. Used app to control intensity and color with cheap asus tablet 4. barn doors usefull keep lights off screen (included in pkg) other companies nickle and dime you for accessories 5. because lights were far away and my camera is not great with low light, I used boost mode all day long with no issues, I turned light off after every speaker during question and answer session (not recorded) each speakers presentation was about 1 hour long...at the end of the day the light itself was warm to the touch and the brick was also warm... 6. in boost mode 4500k looked good despite some florescent dim lighting ... 7. before i bought these lights I emailed and talked to owner and was able to get all my questions answered...you would never get that kind of one-to one attention from a large company amazing personal touch from this company I was quite surprized...

Rated 4 out of 5 by Anonymous from Compact Fresnel Can Be Powered by Anton Bauer Brick We needed bi-color LED fresnel lights for portable use that can be powered by Anton Bauer bricks to use along with our Dracast DRPL-LED1000-BV/G bi-color LED key and fill lights. These Kinotehnik Practilite 602 small bi-color fresnels have a 4-pin 12v socket for battery or provided AC adapter. To power these from a brick on a light stand, we added Anton Bauer QRC-LG Gold Mount clamp kits and Powertap 36 XLR 4-pin cables. These LED fresnels have a smooth pattern adjustment, excellent color accuracy, full dimming and bi-color adjustments with digital readouts. A quiet fan provides internal cooling. Ours never got warm during prolonged use. The run-time with a Gold Mount brick was well over an hour. I was concerned that light output might not be sufficient for hair, accent and background lighting for on-location interviews when used with our Dracast 1x1 panels for key and fill, but they have worked out well. Despite generally liking these Estonian LED fresnels, here are a few things that could be improved. The included barn doors snap-on/off, but there is no way to positively secure them. When the light is on a boom above someone's head the barn doors need a positive lock. The location of the stand mount causes the balance to be front-heavy. To make matters worse the tilt lock lacks feel and disengages abruptly. Both stand lock and tilt lock handles are dainty little levers, not suited for big hands, and not immediately obvious which handle performs which function. With a 90-degree 4-pin XLR attached the light will not tilt upward since the cable hits the stand. Although the internal fan is fairly quiet, there is no way to turn it off during interviews when the light is near a live microphone.

Rated 4 out of 5 by JD of Green Frog from Compact and flexible I bought this to go in the travel kit with my LED panel lights. I wanted a fresnel that was bicolor for a more direct light. I love how small it is compared to other brands while still being powerful enough to do what I need it to do. The adjustability is great. It can through a tight beam or a very broad one. And the color adjustability is perfect when working in a mixed light situation. The only issue I have with it is how the barn doors attach. If they are bumped they can fall off. But it's better to drop the barn doors than to have the light come down.
