The Pipeline Remote Phosphor Reporter Kit was created by BBS to address the needs of file-and-run bloggers, photographers, journalists, and correspondents who require the highest light quality and the smallest possible form factor in a kit that practically sets itself up. The kit includes two 5600K, TLCI 95+ 1' Pipeline Remote Phosphor fixtures, two Manfrotto PIXI mini-tripod bases with adapters, a multi-voltage AC power supply with UK, Euro, and South America plug adapters, and a dual power cord.

The 13" diameter Pipeline is a form-follows-function thing of beauty. Each light has a 1/4"-20 tap in its base for quick mounting to a Manfrotto lamp base which has a footprint about the size of the average computer mouse. The efficient unit consumes just 10W of power while outputting 1000 lumens of soft 180° wraparound light. Thanks to technology that places the phosphors a scant distance away from the native blue LEDs instead of coating them, the Pipeline achieves a high color rendition rating of 95+ on the stringent TLCI (Television Lighting Consistency Index) standard. Besides its many uses for mobile image makers, the 1' lights can be hidden almost anywhere such as a car's dashboard or sun visor or at .5 lb, easily taped to various areas of the set.

The lights are powered by a 100-240 VAC adapter, but 14 VDC battery options are available, adding independence from mains power to the Reporter Pipeline Phosphor Reporter Kit's attributes.
