When selecting Auto/Force mode, the fan can also rotate at its top speed. The heat dissipation performance and LED durability are both improved by this complicated fan arrangement. The 1200d Pro uses Lumenradio CRMX and Art-net & sACN via an etherCON connector, in addition to the 5-Pin DMX512 ports, to seamlessly integrate into any professional DMX interface. What’s Included

In the shots below, the actor is positioned in a daylight interior, with strong natural light coming in from the window. As the direction is to have a high-key shot, we need to bring some fill light into the scene to save exposing for the light from the window. And, to equally avoid the highlights from the windows clipping if we were to expose for the interior ambiance. The LS C120 II has a CRI of 96 and a color temperature of 5500K. Its TLCI has also been estimated to be as high as 97. A high grade indicates that illumination will portray colors well in a film or photographic environment. So, I say stunning light, and I guess, like almost everything in photography, that’s a subjective statement. But I really love the light this unit produces, in the situations I’ve used it. I held off working on this article as I wanted to get some good use in with the light as I’d originally planned for this review. That was to use it as my key light for food photography.

Light Dome Mini and Spacelight – New Aputure Light Storm Accessories" Cinema5D. Retrieved 2020-05-26. Lighting that can be controlled remotely would be ideal for solo photographers. Nothing is more inconvenient than walking over to the light and returning to the lens to see how it appears. While it’s the same light, at the same power, you’ll notice that the lantern modifier wholly alters the tone of the image.

So now that the facts and figures are out of the way, what sort of scenarios would you use a light like the 120d in? Well depending on what type of attachment you put on the front, the light could be used for multiple purposes. If you already own a lot of lights and don’t need this to be a multi purpose solution I would be inclined to use the 120d as a bounce light to create a nice wide/soft source. Just bouncing this light into a ceiling, wall or piece of polly board works really well. When you just need some extra light and don’t want to make it obvious that you are using additional lights then using it indirectly works a treat.
