All that's needed to complete the 8' Mega Single Fluorescent System from Kino Flo is the addition of optional True Match lamps, for soft, wrap-around lighting with a high CRI for accurate color. The system comes with an 8' Mega Single fixture, Junior slide-on mount, 25' head extension cable and a Mega Single Ballast with a US/No. American plug.
The 1-Lamp 8' Mega Single fixture has built-in barndoors, a slide on center mount with a 1-1/8" Junior pin and two 90 degree louvers. The lamp can be removed from the fixture's shell and reflector and mounted separately anywhere on the set. The size of the lamp gives is substantial output and a wrap-around quality and make it a natural for lighting large reflective objects. Optional True Match lamps with a high CRI of 95 are available for separate purchase.
The Mega Single Fluorescent Ballast provides AC power for 6' and 8' Single Mega fluorescent heads. It has a universal power supply and runs on 100-240 VAC for worldwide use. Since the ballast is separate from the fixture it gives you the opportunity to run them up to 75' apart - an important benefit for sets with fixtures rigged overhead or in hard to reach places. The Single Ballast has Standard and High Output (HO) switching to control color spikes. The Single Ballast provides a quick return on investment through low energy use. It draws only 1.1A at 120 VAC and 0.6A at 230 VAC.
