ARRI continues to expand its L-Series with the introduction of this L7-C LED Hanging Fresnel in black, without a cable. The key characteristic of any Fresnel is flood-to-spot capability and the L7-C offers an impressive beam angle adjustment of 14-50°.

The 100-0% dimmable L7-C is a "fully tunable" white light source, allowing you to match existing fixtures with color temperatures from 2800 to 10,000K. The on-board controller allows full minus green to plus green adjustment as well as RGB+W color gamut color mixing with hue and saturation control, enabling matching of specific shades and skin tones. All functions can be controlled via DMX, an ideal feature for broadcast studios, while RDM permits monitoring of the light's status.

The L7-C while drawing only 220W for a savings of up to 75% over traditional fixtures. And low draw and heat means lower HVAC costs in the studio and a quick return on investment. You can run about fifteen L7-Cs from a 20A, 120V outlet as opposed to three or four 500W tungsten fixtures. Power options include the L7-C's 90-250 VAC on-board power supply or 22-36 VDC battery options. This version of the L7-C has a black finish. The removable power cable is available separately so you can match your electrical environment.

A key element of the versatility of traditional Fresnels is the ability to spot and flood the beam as needed. Whether it's a flood field for a pullback shot or a tight spot for a bright highlight, the continuous focus-ability of the L-Series lives up to your expectations. And, unlike traditional Fresnels, which have significant light waste in spot focus, the efficient L-Series optical system maintains the same field lumens in all focus positions.

Whether shaping the beam to isolate talent and set elements or cutting the field to eliminate spill light, control is crucial to lighting. L-Series Fresnels provide the same ability to cut and shape with barndoors and flags that we have come to expect from conventional Fresnels.

Clear, defined shadows traditionally have been solely a trait of single source tungsten and daylight fixtures. ARRI L-Series Fresnels provide the same single shadow properties lighting designers expect, delivering natural results.

With the L7-C, fully tunable white light can be adjusted for different skin tones, camera sensors and mixed-light environments, while specific color shades can be matched through the full gamut of color mixing. Unlike other LED fixtures, this level of color control does not involve compromising the quality of the light field. The L-Series is unique in combining uniform light and single shadow rendition with full control of color attributes.

True blue-style focus knobs provide the precise adjustment and rapid flood-to-spot that users enjoy from manual, mechanical control. Knobs on both sides of the fixture ensure easy access from all positions, eliminating the need for awkward reaching around the fixture. Full flood-to-spot can be achieved in only three turns.

The ARRI sliding stirrup design enables precise adjustment of the fixture's center of gravity, to compensate for front-end accessories. It also gives the option of pulling the fixture back and reducing its hanging height.

The strong tilt-lock provides extremely secure locking, eliminating movement and slippage and ensuring that the fixtures will stay where you put them.

For broadcast studios, remote fixture control is of paramount importance, and all functions of the L7-C are controllable through DMX. The L7-C is also RDM compatible, providing bi-directional feedback and reporting of system status, hours on the light engine, calibration data from the internal color sensor and current DMX address with the ability to remotely assign and address all fixtures in a DMX network.

The on-board controller has manual intensity adjustment and additional controls for color temperature as well as plus/minus green to adjust hue and saturation at the touch of a button.

L-Series fixtures reduce electricity usage by 75% and their LED light engines last 200 times longer than normal bulbs, when compared to conventional tungsten Fresnels. These and other cost-saving attributes will combine to affect a rapid return on your investment.

Lighting teams working on location will love the versatility they can achieve in small to medium-size packages. Several ARRI L7 Fresnels can be run off a single 20A, 120V outlet, as opposed to only two or three 500W tungsten Fresnels.

The L7-C is an expandable platform designed to adapt with the latest enhancements in LED chip performance. The firmware is upgradable through the USB port on the rear of each unit, accommodating future control protocols such as ACN and incorporating other system enhancements that may become available in due course.

A: The Aputure Fresnel 2X Attachment has a Bowens S-mount. As such, it may be able to connect to the Godox Litemons LA200D Daylight LED Light which uses Bowens S-mount adapters. However, to my knowledge, the Aputure Fresnel 2X Attachment has not been directly tested on the Godox Litemons LA200D Daylight LED Light, so your experience may vary. However, if you are not happy with the Fresnel's performance, you have 30 days from the date of purchase to return the Fresnel for an exchange or refund.
