Hi,
I was almost ready to rent these lights based on your review with a view purchacing them from B&H. However, the rental company mentioned a couple of things that had me take a second look at reviews. I found a comparison posted by an Austrian videographer. He compared them to a 500k Chimera Triolet. At 1.5 meters the Triolet was over 1.5 stops brighter. I know the Skylux is 5600k, but this is not what you would expect from a light that you said puts out 1200 watts. I am sure everything else you said is true, but it seems it's probably comparable to a 300k light. Any comments?
Hi Gregory -
These lights do not output 1200 watts. They output the approximate equivalent of 1200 watts of tungsten generated lighting.
Please see Westcott's website for details and videos of these lights in action:
