Q: 1. Do these panels fit in a 1500 series Pelican case?

A: NO, they measure out to be with framing and everything 19 by 16 that's including the side screws and yok. On their website they measure it to be size 17.7 x 16.3 x 5.3, plus you need room to put foam between the case and light itself.

Q: 2. I own 4 of these and have a shoot coming up where the only power source will be my car. How can I power the Astra from the 12V cigarette lighter?

A: This light is approximately 100w. You will need to check your cars 12v port power rating. Most likely you will need a inverter connected directly to your cars battery. Make sure to check your cars batteries watt hour rating. You will want to make sure not to push it so low as to get stranded. Using a inverter that is at least double the power that you need will give you the best efficiency. For 4x Astras you would want to look at a 1k range inverter.

Q: 3. What is the life span of these lights? I have them in mind for some darker places where I film. They would need to run for 5-6 hours in a row.

Q: 7. Would these be able to be fully powered at the 6X capacity with 90Wh Gold mount Anton Bauer batts or would it need higher capacity batts?

A: It depends on the power (not the capacity) of your batteries. The lights draw 110W at full power. Most newer AB batteries can handle 110W, but older ones and smaller ones can not. Try to find the power specs of your lights, either in Watts, or in Amps and multiply by 14v to get Watts. (PS: VoltAmps and Watts are the same thing, so multiply Voltage times Amps to get power limit)

Q: 8. Is there enough room in the duo case to fit two snap bags? I'd like to keep everything together in one case.

A: No, the case is not large enough to hold the two lights and two soft boxes.

Q: 9. What v mount battery is best to use for this light.

A: I use the Core SWX 150 batteries... I get anywhere from 6 to 2.5 hours of continuous use with them from 50-100%. Ive used the 98 batteries but they just dont last as much.

Q: 10. How does the Gold Mount battery plate mount?

A: The V-Mount is the same way. Screws.
