3D = Light+Light+Light
All stereographers known that to shoot in 3D, you need a (very) bright set. Sometimes, the power suppy is not strong enough to answer the DOP needs. That is why Photon Beard introduces its new revolutionary light source based on a new RF-activated plasma technology. With a20,000 hours life and 14,000 Lumens output for a power drain of 273 Watts, it is equivalent to a Tungsten Fresnel lasting 1,000 hours and draining 2,000 Watts.
