Litepanels has introduced the new Litepanels 1x1 LED lighting system, available in 5600ºK flood or spot, and 3200ºK flood models. Litepanels 1x1 combines the company's hallmark ultra-efficient LED technology with a sophisticated, slimline design. The new 1x1 shares many innovative features of Litepanels' award-winning LED lights. An integrated control knob on the back enables instant dimming from 0 to100% with no shift in color. Absolutely silent and heat-free, Litepanels 1x1 can be positioned comfortably close to a subject's face, filling it with an unmatched quality of soft, wrap around light.

Engineered for quick and easy set up and operation, Litepanels 1x1 weighs just 3 lbs. (1.36kg) and measures 12" W x 12" H x 1.75" D (30.5cm x 30.5cm x 4.4 cm). This lightweight, ultra flat-profile system adapts to a variety of lighting situations. The unit's yoke allows for mounting via standard TVMP receptacle. Its housing enables multi-panel configurations, making it easy to customize to each job's specific requirements. Plus, the new 1x1 is equipped with remote dimming capability. Litepanels' groundbreaking design features a unique look-through capability.

The 1x1 incorporates a pattern of hundreds of precisely aligned mini-portals into the housing. This enables the operator to view the subject being illuminated from behind the unit.

Litepanels 1x1 runs off a variety of 9-30V sources, including a standard camera battery or car battery. The external 90-264V AC adapter supplies power through an unobtrusive 6 ft. attached input lead and 6 ft. grounded US plug/power cable. For additional lighting control, Litepanels offers an optional kit of interchangeable slide-in color/diffusion gel filters for both daylight and tungsten versions. Production models of the Litepanels 1x1 are scheduled to ship late April 2006. Prices start at $1995 list.
