The Velvet Light 2 Rainproof LED Panel from VELVETlight is a light source with an expansive 2700 to 6500K variable color range and a high CRI/TLCI rating of 95, indicating an accurate rendering of color. Light intensity is also variable from 0-100% with flicker-free performance at over 3000 frames per second. You can make these adjustments locally on the fixture or remotely with a console via onboard DMX. The sturdy aluminum fixture has a compact form factor with an illuminated surface measuring 26 x 12" and has negligible generated heat, making it a wise choice for placement in tight spaces or for use close up to the talent without causing discomfort. The light's 100-degree beam angle provides ample coverage and can be tightened to 40 degrees with an optional grid to control spill light or for selective lighting. Fan-free passive cooling means that the fixture is seen but not heard, a valuable feature in sound-sensitive locations.

This listing is for the panel only. Use of a separately purchased 90 - 264 VAC or battery plate is required for use.

Slim, compact, and easily hidden in tight locations or on low ceiling sets, the panel is quick to rig up or handhold. It features a quickly removable yoke with a 5/8" baby receiver combined with a 1 1/8" Junior pin and sliding 1/4"-20 threads for rigging located on panel sides.

With the Velvet Light 2, there is no need to use correction gels or replace diffusers to vary color temperature and light intensity. The soft beam produces open shadows and is easy on the talent's eyes.

The light goes beyond the 3200-5600K of most bi-color lights and offers a wide 2700-6500K color range.

Constructed from shock-resistant aluminum, the panel is also rainproof for use in inclement weather.

This version of the light does not ship with a power supply. Use of a separately purchased 90 to 264 VAC adapter or battery plate is required for use.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this come with the batteries?

A: They do not.

Q: 2. How well do this hold up with inclement weather if used outside in the freezing cold or in the rain?

A: I contacted GVM regarding your inquiry. The GVM 560AS Bi-Color LED 2-Panel Kit, B&H # GVM560AS2L, is not is weather-sealed for outdoor use or in inclement weather. It is not recommend to use the light unit in extreme heat / cold temperatures environment. According to GVM, the operating range for the 560AS LED panels with lithium-ion batteries to perform optimally (and will last longer) if they are kept at temperatures between -10°C and +50°C. However, do note that for outdoor usage, the units require a pair of SONY NPF-750/770 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which usually have a recommended ambient temperature operating range from 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C), so while they can be used outside of this range, they often may not have great performance in extreme cold or extreme heat.

Q: 3. Can this be powered by a wall outlet with the included power supply?

A: Yes the included power supply connects to an AC outlet.

Q: 4. How long can these lights be left on? I am looking for something that can be left on several hours at a time.

A: With AC power these can be left on. Using batteries run time will vary by battery size and light intensity.

Q: 5. If these lights are plugged into a power strip and left in the 'on' position, will they turn on and off with the power strip and retain their brightness and color temp setting?

A: Yes.

Q: 6. Is the unit DMX addressable? How many channels? What functions?

A: Yes, you have a total of 255 channels divided in as many fixtures as are attached, with a maximum of 32 fixtures-lights.

Q: 7. What’s the best 560 or 800 D ?

A: The choice of one product over the other is going to depend on your needs. While the 560AS offers a wider CCT range (2300K-6800K) than the 800D (3200K-5600K), it does not offer the same RBG capability. If you use color effects on a regular basis, the 800's RBG feature will be extremely convenient. If you only need the bi-color feature, the 560AS is the better option as it is brighter. I hope you find this response helpful.

A: Unfortunately, GVM does not indicate the R9 value of the GVM 560AS Bi-Color LED Studio Video 2-Panel Light Kit.
