Zylight F8-D Overview

The F8 LED Fresnel (Daylight) from Zylight is the next generation of Fresnel lights. All of the hallmarks of a traditional Fresnel light are present; single shadow beam shaping through barn doors, continuous focusing and a smooth light field. The Zylight F8 adds wireless and DMX control, water-resistant IP54 rating, and very rugged construction for field reliability. Available in both Tungsten and Daylight color temperature versions, the Zylight F8 is extremely compact, durable and one of the most versatile Fresnel lights on the market.

Field Friendly
The Zylight F8 can be powered by either a worldwide AC power adapter or a standard 14.4V camera battery for complete portability. Its thin design and shape allow it to pack into small cases and be taken anywhere. The water-resistant IP54 rating ensures the F8 will be comfortable in falling rain or snow, and blowing dirt and dust. Whether you're shooting a stand-up in a hurricane or snow storm, the F8 will deliver bright light with ease.
Studio Friendly
In the studio, all functionality of the Zylight F8 can be controlled via DMX or remotely via the built-in ZyLink wireless link. Local control such as dimming, focus and wireless operation are provided on the rear of the F8. At 15 x 12 x 4" it will take up considerably less space in your lighting grid than its traditional counterpart. The yoke mount allows for easy panning and tilting for quick focusing. The F8's silent operation means it can run in a studio setting without disruption of audio recording or talent distraction.
Ultra Bright Output
The F8's advanced ultra bright LED module ensures excellent skin tones and rich, accurate color rendition. Continual focusing and an adjustable beam spread between 16-70 degrees allows for even coverage when shooting with wide-angle lenses or HD 16x9 format. The F8 uses a high quality glass 8.0" Fresnel lens and has an equivalent output of a traditional 1,000W instrument. Barn doors, soft box and other accessories are available as options.

    question

    Do you have the exact same kit but in TUNGSTEN version? I can't find it on your web store.
    Asked by: Nicolas G.
    Unfortunately, we only carry the daylight version in kit form. However, we do have the F8-T Fresnel, ZYF8T sold individually. Please see the image below for reference.

    question

    What is the ouput comparison to hmi or tungsten? I dont see a foot candle chart. Also how long will a 150wh battery last at full power on this fixture?
    Asked by: Anonymous
    According to Zylight, the F8-D has the light output just below a 1000 watt tungsten fresnel and the light output equivalent to 200 watts of HMI. For the complete photometrics on this fresnel, please see the following link: http://bit.ly/1Thzcq3. As for how long a 150Wh battery would last on this light, you would get about 1.5 hours of life at full power.

    question

    Does the F8 have a bowens mount option for softboxes etc?
    Asked by: Patrick F.
    No it does not have a specific Bowens mount. There are soft boxes available for the F8 LED Fresnel made by both Chimera and DoP Choice. Both are lightweight and easy to deploy!
