Rosco Fluorescent Lighting Sleeves/Tube Guards are a very reliable and cost-effective system for easy control of tough lighting scenarios- especially under fluorescents. In addition to the financial benefits of the sleeves, they protect against the potential disaster of glass shattering by containing the lamp within the end caps.

Rosco sleeves are constructed of a solid polycarbonate tube within which is held the specific filter. The choice of filters and combination of filters is endless - there are complete Roscolux, Cinegel or E-Colour color filter lines - something for every venue, every photographer, every cinematographer.

Q: 1. Is this light about the same size as an Arri 300w tungsten or closer to an Arri 650w tungten? I need to travel with it.

Q: 2. What hard-case is sold with this kit? Can it be purchased separately?

A: The case is made by SKB Cases, they are similar to Pelican brand. You can also purchase the lights without a case. The lights come in a foam cutout.

Q: 3. What is the tungsten equivalent output? Is it powerful enough as a key light for stills photography?

A: The actual measured tungsten equivalent is about the same as 400W fresnel light. To put this into perspective it means when compared to common 300W fixtures the Practilite602 is little bit more powerful. For example common tungsten fresnel @ 300W outputs 2500lx in flood and 6500lx in spot whereas Practilite602 outputs 3100lx and 10000lx, not to mention it outputs about 15000lx in Boost Mode @ 4500K.If it is enough as a key light it depends on the subject matter, the scene and of course on the sensitivity you are willing to use: the smaller the scene the more light will you have, as for normal portraiture it will do fine but remember if you add a softbox/chimera you will lose half the light output which can be compensated by moving the light closer to the subject, if possible. As this light is focusable you are able to direct and shape the light without any additional modifiers.

Q: 8. Will this work with a Sony mirrorless camera?

A: The Ultrastrap and Mini Softbox can work for a Sony shoe mount flash that is used on a Sony mirrorless camera. Having tested the Sony A3000 with the Soft Screen diffuser, it does work fine. However, it would not work with other Sony mirrorless cameras as the hot shoe and flashes are positioned away from one another such as the A6000.
