The Rayden RW5 Daylight Half x 1 Studio & Field LED Light from ikan is built into a heavy-duty molded plastic chassis providing a lightweight yet strong fixture with enhanced features such as 100-10% flicker-free dimming, LCD display, and an included wireless remote. It produces a 50° beam spread and the barndoors feature integrated gel clips.

The fixture is DC powered, incorporating a 4-pin XLR connector and including an AC/DC power supply for mains power. Interchangeable Gold and V-Mount plates are included so no worrying about getting the fixture that matches your battery system. The four-leaf barndoors provide control over light spill, and feature removable light intensifiers to suit your taste. The yoke is angled forward 30°, which allows you to open the barndoors all the way without hitting the yoke when the light is pointed straight forward. The yoke has a combo Baby pin/Junior stud so you can mount it on a stand or hang it from a grid with optional clamps.

The big yellow knob on the back of the unit controls the dimming of the unit. It features an indent for fingertip control and is positioned at the edge of the fixture, which is cut away allowing you to adjust the knob from the side of the unit when the back is difficult to access. You can also use the included wireless remote to control the dimming.

While some users may enjoy the small increase in light output that intensifiers bring, other users prefer to use barndoors without intensifiers. The removable intensifiers that come with this light attach securely to the barndoors. You do not have to attach all four intensifiers, which allows you choose how many barndoors to use for intensifying your output and how many barndoors to use to cut spill.

The top and bottom barndoors integrate gel clips for attaching diffusion or gels.

The fixture features an interchangeable Gold Mount battery plate. Removing four screws and disconnecting the snap connector allows you to swap out the Gold Mount battery plate for the included V-Mount plate.

On the back of the fixture is an LCD info screen that displays the battery power remaining and brightness percentage.

Q: 1. Does it come with batteries?

A: No, they don't, but it does include AC power cords. Additional batteries would need to be purchased if you wanted them to be portable.

Q: 2. Can this unit run off of AC power?

A: Yes. They come with everything you need. I'll also add that the two batteries on each unit run well past 2.5 hours. I did a recent time test and stopped at 2.5, because my upcoming interviews would not run longer than that. Probably another hour or two on top of that I'll bet.

Q: 3. Which softbox(es) can be used with the lights?

A: Ikan's Chimera CH1455 would work best.

Q: 4. IS THE FAN TOO LOUD FOR INTERVIEWS?

A: James, not at all! The fans on this light fixture are extremely quiet.

Q: 5. What is a good hard case with rollers for this kit?

A: It is best to put the stands from the ikan Lyra Bi-Color 3-Point LED Soft Panel Light Kit with 1 x LB10 and 2 x LB5 in a separate stand case like the one it comes with and for the lights use a hard case like, https://bhpho.to/43EqCM8 .

Q: 7. Can you attach umbrella's to these lights?

A: Phil, typical umbrella's aren't going to fit the iLED312-v2, if you really want to try and use them with this light, you will need an aftermarket clamp.

Q: 8. How far out will this set light up something? What is the drop off in feet?

A: The drop off with all light sources are exactly the same; they are bound by the inverse square law. The inverse square law states that the power of the light will be inversely proportional to the square of the distance. So if you take a distance of 2 meters and square it, you get 4, the inverse of which would be 1/4 or rather, a quarter of the original light output power - not half. Simply put, if you double the original distance, the light is as strong as it was at the original distance.If you move the subject 3 meters from the light (3 * 3 = 9, so the inverse is 1/9th) the power of the light source now becomes 1/9th of what it originally was.At 4 meters away, the light is 1/16th its power compared to 1 meter away (4 *4 = 16, so the inverse is 1/16th). The above remains true with all light sources. The best I can recommend is to Google the inverse square law and lighting, as I cannot get into it here. But using the above as an example, if the ikan iLED312-V2 gave you an exposure setting of f/4 1/125 sec ISO 100 or f/11 1/60 sec ISO 400 at 20 inches (just under 2 feet), if you doubled the distance (40 inches, or just over 3 feet), equivalent settings for proper exposure would be f/4 1/30 sec ISO 100, f/11 1/8 sec ISO 400, or if you wanted the same aperture/shutter setting and instead changed the ISO, you may use f/4 1/125 sec ISO 400 or f/11 1/60 sec ISO 1600. At 80 inches (or just over 6.5 feet), you may use f/4 1/8 sec ISO 100 or f/11 sec ISO 400. If you wanted the same aperture/shutter setting and instead changed the ISO, you may use f/4 1/125 sec ISO 1600 or f/11 1/60 sec ISO 6400.
