ikan LB5 Overview

The Lyra LB5 Bi-Color Soft LED Panel from ikan is built into a heavy-duty molded plastic chassis providing a lightweight yet strong variable color fixture with enhanced features such as 100-10% flicker-free dimming and an LCD display. It features an integrated 1/2 stop diffuser for extra softness, while its 510 LEDs produce a 110° beam spread with a high CRI of 96 and a TLCI of 98 for precise color rendering. The fixture produces a soft single-source shadow pattern owing to the integrated diffusion.

The Lyra comes with a multi-voltage AC power supply but it also has a battery-powered option thanks to the inclusion of Gold Mount and V-Mount battery plates, while the four-leaf barndoors provide control over light spill, and feature removable light intensifiers to suit your taste. The yoke is angled forward 30°, which allows you to open the barndoors all the way without hitting the yoke when the light is pointed straight forward. The fixture also has a combo Baby receiver/Junior pin on the yoke so you can mount it on a stand or hang it from a grid with optional clamps.

Color Temperature Adjustment and Dimming
The big yellow knob on the back of the unit controls both the color temperature selection and the dimming of the unit. It features an indent for fingertip control and is positioned at the edge of the fixture, which is cut away allowing you to adjust the knob from the side of the unit when the back is difficult to access. When you power on the light the yellow dimming knob defaults to controlling the dimming, pressing in the knob switches it to color temperature control (3200 to 5600K), pressing it again reverts back to dimming.
Consistent Light Levels
The light output stays consistent as you transition across the color temperature range, preventing the brightness spike that happens with many LED lights around 4300K.
Soft Source, Single Shadow
The 1/2 white diffusion softens the light and provides a 110° beam spread and a single source shadow.
Removable Intensifiers
While some users may enjoy the small increase in light output that intensifiers bring, other users prefer to use barndoors without intensifiers. The removable intensifiers that come with this light attach securely to the barndoors. You do not have to attach all four intensifiers, which allows you choose how many barndoors to use for bumping up your output and how many barndoors to use to cut spill. The top and bottom barndoors integrate gel clips for attaching diffusion or gels.
Battery Power
The fixture features an interchangeable Gold Mount battery plate. Removing four screws and disconnecting the snap connector allows you to swap out the included V-Mount plate.
LCD Info Screen
On the back of the fixture is an LCD info screen that displays the battery power remaining, brightness percentage and color temperature.

What are the dimensions of the light that I need to cover if using gel filters?
Asked by: Eva
The ikan Lyra LB5 Bi-Color LED Light Panel is 8 x 14". Most would attach the gel to the barn door so you do want a gel to be larger than the panel.

I'd like to mount these lights vertically sometimes. Is this possible with the included stands/mounts, or do I need additional hardware?
Asked by: Jeffrey
The 5/8" receiver at the bottom of the yoke attachment is slotted on the front and the bottom end. The front side would allow the fixture to be mounted vertically if needed.
