Featuring a V-mount battery plate, the Pro Series LED500 Bi-Color LED Light Panel from Dracast is an ideal choice for location work, interviews, and small sets where color accuracy, control, and flicker-free output are of major importance. Variable color temperature from 3200 to 5600K means you can quickly match the prevailing ambient or artificial light balance with a simple twist of a knob while others are still applying filters. Dimming is equally convenient via another knob that adjusts the light intensity from 0 to 100% with negligible color shift. Additionally, its high CRI of 96 renders colors with precision and fidelity. The low electrical draw of just 30W means a timely return on your investment.

The durable anodized aluminum frame is supported by an oversized, U-shaped yoke with locking knobs on each side and a standard 5/8" receiver. This compact 12 x 6" panel can be used worldwide, powered by the included 100 to 240 VAC adapter in the studio, or by V-mount batteries in the field. Four-way barndoors for contouring and control of the LED500's 45° beam angle are available separately. For protection during transport and storage, a carry case is included.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Do these come with the batteries?

A: No batteries. You have to buy separately. Units are very light. 4-5 lbs. Excellent units.

Q: 2. How many of these lights would I need for a 2 person shoot?

A: Quantity of lighting varies with style and positioning of the subjects. I can vary from just one to many depending on the angles and area to cover.

Q: 3. How many lights can I put on a 15 amp circuit? How many Amps per light?

A: Mark,For a 15 Amp circuit, you first need to multiply by the Volts. If we use 110, that gives us 1650 Watts for that circuit. However, most electricians recommend no more than 80% of capacity, so that leaves us with 1320 Watts. The LED500 runs on 30 Watts, so if we divide that into 1320 it tells us that you can run 44 of these lights on a typical 15 Amp circuit. // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 4. Does this light ship with an AC electrical cord?

A: Yes, it comes with an AC power supply.

Q: 5. Thread length on thumbscrew to light stand seems short for secure fit?

A: Actually it fits just right. I even leave it loose when I move to and from different locations. I hope this helps. Joe

Q: 6. Has anyone used this for lighting a white backdrop? And if so would one light work?

A: This light is on the small side for lighting backdrops. You would get a better result with a larger light. Or a whole BUNCH of these lights -- feel free to purchase as many as you like!! // Also, if there are any other technical or product related questions, feel free to contact us directly at any time at support@dracobroadcast.com.

Q: 7. This led has batery?

A: The battery is an optional accessory.

Q: 8. When a battery is attached can the power cord recharge it ?

A: Unfortunately, no.

Q: 9. Is there a battery plate converter made for this light that allows me to use Panasonic batteries?? I found one for Sony batteries to V-mount

A: Unfortunately, there are no conversion plates going from V mount to a Panasonic battery.

Q: 10. Does the yoke come with this package?

A: Hi Andrew,Yes the yoke is part of the LED500. It is aluminum built and functions professionally.My only missing part are barn doors.

The way this light works is that when you dial in all tungsten for example, only the tungsten lights are on and the daylight ones are off, so your light output is less. Same with dialing in all daylight. If you put the dial in the middle, then ALL the lights are on and it's much brighter, but you get mixed lighting... I chose this light because I rarely shoot in and ALL tungsten or ALL daylight environment...always mixed lighting in some way. So, instead of screwing around with gels (full, half, quarter, whatever) just turn the dial!!!

Nice light.� The controls on the back aren't the typical color temperature and dimmer.� Rather each control dims or brightens its particular color.� One for Tungsten and one for Daylight.� Love the build quality and overall finish.� Looks great for sure.� The V-Mount is the real winner here too!

I had a great experience with the lights for my videography. One of the weddings was in a low light venue and the other was in a barn. In both Occasions the lights have shown a great performance and the display to show and regulate the degree of lighting used was a very useful feature! The video turned out to be amazing with the color the light produced. Not too white nor too yellow, just about right! I must say these are excellent lights and my plans are to upgrade them to the 1000 once I have my Studio running to use them for photography as well. My wife was the photographer at the weddings and she saved her flash quite often, while getting some very nice exposed pictures. I know there are a lot of different brands out there, but being it my first experience with these lights , I am most probably going to stay with this brand and promote it where I can. Not only the quality, performance and built are very well done, also the stylish color and design is very appealing and looks professional! I have also seen that there are several possibilities to add accessories and the only point I would raise is that barn doors and at least one filter to protect the lights would have been good to go with the original pack, but that's just aside! They definitely have the right power and with 2 of them correctly positioned you can kill off any shadows Would definitely buy again and was the right choice!

This fixture feels substantial in your hands. The build quality is on par with my other Dracast lights. Otherwise all around thumbs up.

This bi-color LED light is bright and powerfull to my lighting needs. I use this mostly as my main light for my video interview. The color adjustment is very helpfull when i use this with my other lights that has different color temperature. It comes with a carrying bag to carry around on shoot location.

Just received this piece of equipment today from B&H, right out of the box you can tell it is well-built, operating the light was smooth and flawless, hats off to Dracast, can't wait for the next shoot to put this baby to work.

This thing is really well built. Well worth the money. Works better than expected. Totally happy with it. Should have bought another. Probably still will.

This is a good lighting instrument for a back light or other compact environment. The color range let me warm up the backlight when combined with other daylight-balanced keys. Very solid yoke construction means the light firmly locks into position when you tighten it down. That's important when you attach a heavy battery for DC power. I recommend the barndoors to give you better control of focus and spill. Great value and a good addition to my lighting arsenal!

I had my doubts after only using Arri lights, but wow. This thing is fantastic. You might need some black wrap to make a spot for low-key set ups, because the barn doors aren't enough to do the trick. I think that a soft box might be overkill since this light seems softer over all. Great for interviews, etc. Love that it uses batteries, albeit they are expensive.

I first used Dracast lights with a friend on another shoot and fell in love. I am equally happy with this one and its durability, size, weight, brightness, and more! Highly recommended!
