Fresnel lenses give filmmakers great control over the focus of light and can help add throw distance to a unit while keeping weight down. The new CAME-TV Boltzen Fresnel LEDs take that standard and mold it into a sleek, compact design. While the cans may produce a nice soft light, they're still able to put out a decent amount of power.
The fresnel lens allows them to push light further out, so instead of buying one big light, you can set these lights pretty far away and you’ll still get a high level of intensity. It all proves that you don’t need a powerful light to illuminate out very far if you have the right lens.
CAME-TV Boltzen 30w Fresnel LED
Perhaps most useful about this video light is the fact it includes an adjustable fresnel lens to help focus the light and provide a longer throw. When used without the lens, the light becomes a wider flood, and the included barn doors help control the spill. This versatility allows you to go from a tight spot to a wide flood all in one continuous light.
Digital Read-Out
There are two new models of CAME-TV's new Fresnel LED: 30-watt and 55-watt. The front of the light is all metal, while its back is made up of plastic. There is no fan on the 30-watt model, while the 55-watt has a fan that’s barely audible. It features knobs for powering on and dimming, as well as a digital display at the very back. These are only daylight lights, so they don’t switch colors. However, you can add optional filters, as the package comes with three different filters, including a tungsten.
Three filter options.
This 30-watt is truly one of the smallest fresnel LED’s at this wattage. At about the same size as the Canon 70-200 lens, it's very portable, so you could store a bunch of them in a relatively small bag. Check out the video below for a demonstration of the light's power:
