This LED TECH Lightbank from Chimera is designed exclusively to fit Ikan's 576-series LED lights. It provides directional control of the light and can also blend the individual point sources into one smooth, soft light source which eliminates micro-shadows. A lens screen, a full screen, and 1/4 grid screen are included to customize the light output. No frame is required, as the lightbank uses the thumbscrews to attach to the front of the Ikan 576.

Q: 1. Would this work well with the Astra 1x1 Bi color? How strongly do you recommend it? thanks

Q: 4. Does the Chimera 1648 have a silver interior? It appears that the front face is interchangeable. Is there any light loss compared to a bare Area48 (I ask because the DOP choice soft box uses a silver interior to reflect some of the side spill forward and increases the output by 1 stop).
