    It's a Chimera!

    By Peter
    Rated 5 out of 5

    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.

    can you put any 500w or 750w bulb (flourescent or led) that fits the threaded socket of the light?
    Asked by: michael
    The Chimera Triolet Flood Light with Octaplus Speed Ring (220-230 VAC) (B&H# CHT2POPE) can accept tungsten, LED, and fluorescent bulbs up to 1000W that have a standard E26/E27, E39/E40, or GY9.5 base. For reference, the most typical (not mini and not specialized) screw bulb base used in the UK and EU, in the USA, in the Western Hemisphere in general, and indeed in most countries worldwide conforms to the E26/E27 screw-in standard that this fixture can also use.

    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.

    Is there a Bowen mount adapter?

    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.

    does it work 500w
    Asked by: Kim
    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.
