A lot of manufacturers laud their lighting products' capabilities as "flexible", but when ikan says it about their CB8 Canvas Bi-Color 2800-6500K Bendable LED Panel, they mean it - literally. ikan has mounted 336 LEDs on a 20 x 10" mat, and if you've ever wished your light source could conform to your needs to light a subject, this is it. And with a weight of just 1 lb and a thickness of just 1/2 inch, you can easily tape it in place out of sight. Like all LED fixtures the Canvas light is energy efficient but this one equals the incandescent output of a 300W flood light while consuming just 24W and generating just about zero heat. And with a 120° beam angle this small LED source can light a wide field.

ikan CB8 Overview

A lot of manufacturers laud their lighting products' capabilities as "flexible", but when ikan says it about their CB8 Canvas Bi-Color 2800-6500K Bendable LED Panel, they mean it - literally. ikan has mounted 336 LEDs on a 20 x 10" mat, and if you've ever wished your light source could conform to your needs to light a subject, this is it. And with a weight of just 1 lb and a thickness of just 1/2 inch, you can easily tape it in place out of sight. Like all LED fixtures the Canvas light is energy efficient but this one equals the incandescent output of a 300W flood light while consuming just 24W and generating just about zero heat. And with a 120° beam angle this small LED source can light a wide field.

The Canvas light comes with a controller that works separately from the mat for maximum freedom of placement. Its adjustment capabilities include variable color from 3200 to 5600K to meet any ambient light challenge with a high CRI/TLCI rating of 95/96, indicating accuracy in rendition of color. Light intensity is variable too, from 10 to 100% to fine-tune the output.

For those who value flexibility but would also like a solid panel, ikan includes an X-Holder and Mounting Pin to hold the mat rigid at its full 20 x 10" spread. The special receiver has a 5/8" hole tapped it its barrel so that it mounts horizontally on a light stand, while the end that connects to the Canvas light rotates about 180° for precise placement. The X-Holder facilitates mounting the included softbox to take the edge off the bright LEDs. There's also a fabric grid that narrows the Canvas light's beam to permit selective lighting.

Power requirements are flexible too. The light includes a holder for V-mount batteries, as well as a converter that conveniently allows you to use NP-F-style camera batteries when away from mains current. Ready for worldwide use, the Canvas Bi-Color Panel ships with a 110 to 240 VAC power supply.

Bendable Fabric LED Panel
The Canvas light is a lightweight solution to even the most challenging lighting problems.
Color Rendition
The High CRI and TLCI ensures that professionals get an accurate color output. The Canvas bi-color light gives you total control of the color from 2800-6500K.
Beam Angle
The wide 120° beam angle allows a lot of light to be directed towards the subject. With or without a softbox, the Canvas LED Light gives the user the ability to create a soft visual environment. The included softbox and eggcrate grid allow for soft, controlled light.
X-Holder and Mounting Pin
The X-Holder Mount with a 5/8" receiver is rigid to keep the light fixture in place. The Baby Pin Mount with 90° receiver hole allows mounting and pointing the light in any direction.
CB8 Controller
The controller gives you complete control over the light to adjust the color and brightness. It includes a 6' extension cable.
Power Options
The Canvas CB8 can be powered by a V-mount pro battery or the convenience of DV batteries. Power accessories are included.
300 Watt Equivalent
The CB8 is equivalent to a 300W incandescent soft light and only draws 24W.

ikan CB8 Reviews

Loved it till it broke...

By Richard
Rated 2 out of 5

Was extremely happy with this light, the design is awesome, the soft box is perfect, the output is great, the small case its in make me love it for traveling... Unfortunately mine shorted out in the power supply/control unit on the second day of a shoot after just purchasing it. Maybe I had a bad one, hope I get a refund or replacement because I want to love it. Will be happy to update my review if I get a working one.

Great value /Nice quality

I was going to buy two westcott 1x1s but instead bought three ikan 1x2s for less and got bags and stands as part of ikans kit. The bluetooh app is cool but clunky to install.
