    Chimera Triolet Reviews

    It's a Chimera!

    By Peter

    Absolutely wonderful softbox--high quality and well thought out kit. Easy to assemble and everything fits together well. With any bulb installed, the light is perfectly diffused. All of the velcro fits well and the stitching is what you expect from a Chimera. The head is beautifully designed and finished. It looks good just sitting by itself. Mine came with a heavy duty Matthews stand. Both bags are of high quality too. I've used 500 watt bulbs with no problem, but I use LED bulbs now. Less heat and I'm shooting video and I don't want to bake the subjects! You can't go wrong with a Chimera.

    I don't know why I waited so long to buy one. Ever since I bought this with the medium pancake lantern, I look back on all the previous projects and know exactly where I could have used this. Great for interviews, product shots, you name it. It gets pretty hot, but no surprise there. Sturdy construction and the box it came in doubles as a carrying case with a velcro strap.

    One of my favorite units. Combined with a chimera and some muslin, this makes a beautiful key light for interviews. It's also super versatile and can work as a key in a lot of other situations.

    yes, really good

    Versatile, but a bit on the pricey side

    The triolet is a versatile fixture. The kit with the frosted dome, speed ring and the bulb adapter is quite useful. Takes lots of different wattage bulbs. It's the best way to continuous light a chinese lantern that I've found. It's great for other soft boxes too since it sends light out in all directions. Tungsten is not the rage these days, but I still find it practical for both stills and video. Although you can put CFL's in it too. The only caveat is that it's a little expensive. Super well made though.

    Thanks

    question

    Does this light work with a dimmer, and if so do you have any recommendations?
    Asked by: John
    This light can be used with an inline dimmer such as the Impact D1000 1,000W AC Dimmer Control (110-120V) B&H # IMD1000. Please see the image below for reference.

    question

    Can I put a CFL bulb in this ?
    Asked by: Mrinal
    The Chimera Socket Adapter - Mogul to Medium Base, B&H # CHRMMB, would allow you to use a CFL bulb, such as either the Eiko Spiral Fluorescent Lamp (85W/120V), B&H # EIFS85, or the Eiko Spiral Fluorescent Lamp (105W / 120V), B&H # EIFS105Z, with the Chimera Video Pro Plus 1 Triolet Kit.

    question

    Is the power adjustable?
    Asked by: Adam M.
    The Chimera Triolet Flood Light does not have a control to adjust output power. As such, you would have to purchase a dimmer such as the Impact D1000 1,000W AC Dimmer Control (110-120V), B&H # IMD1000, for your planned usage needs.

    Asked by: Kim U.
    The Chimera Mogul Base Lamp - 500 Watts/120 Volts - for Lantern, B&H # CHLM500L, would be a 500 watt bulb that is compatible for use with the Chimera Triolet Mogul Base Flood Light.

    question

    The picture for the 9930OP Chimera Triolet Flood Light with Octaplus Speed Ring shows an Octaplus speed ring without quick release (9890OP), but the included equipment lists an Octaplus Speed Ring with quick release (9890QR). Which is it?
    Asked by: Jeffrey Lawlis
    This kit would include a Chimera Octaplus Dedicated Speed Ring for Triolet which has fixed corners rather than quick release corners. Chimera only manufacturers their Quick Release Speed Rings in the 4 corner type.

    question

    How hot does this light get, and what is the expected bulb life?
    Asked by: Marty F.
    Whie we do not have a specific temperature rating, as the Chimera Video Pro Plus 1 Triolet Kit (220V) does use a 1000W tungsten bulb, the light fixture does produce quite a bit of heat. It is advised to use gloves designed for lighting, such as either the Setwear Hothand Gloves (Large), B&H # SESHH05010, or the ARRI Leather Grip Gloves (Large), B&H # AR850010 (depending on the size you need) when using the unit. The Chimera Mogul Base Lamp has a estimated life expectancy of approximately 2000 hours.
