Introduction
Today, LEDs are recognized as the most cutting-edge lighting technology, and this is true for the majority lighting
applications. Well-designed LED fixtures and luminaries can provide the required surface illuminance
with an improved uniformity, while using less energy compared to traditional light sources.
The technology is improving so rapidly in terms of luminous efficacy, color quality, thermal management,
and cost, that choosing LEDs as continuous light source no longer means compromising on some of the benefits
of conventional lighting technologies.
It must be said, however, that current LED product quality can vary significantly among manufacturers,
so due diligence is required in their proper selection and use. LED performance is highly sensitive to thermal
and electrical design weaknesses that can lead to a bad light quality or premature failure.
When it comes to videography and photography, lighting is of key importance, since it has a direct
impact both on the technical value of the work and on its artistic content.
That’s why LED fixtures that are meant for these fields of application must excel in quality.
Manfrotto capitalizes on its decades of experience in the photo and video business and developed
SPECTRA, a new family of LED lights, designed for demanding professionals.
This innovative range of LED lights offers several convincing benefits:
• EXCELLENT COLOR RENDITION:
colors are reproduced with fidelity and the skin tone is natural;
• DIMMABILITY:
Smooth 0-100% dimming, with no color shift and no flickering.
• PORTABILITY:
Lightweight and the ability to be powered by long lasting batteries to meet the requirements
of professionals who shoot on location.
• FLICKER-FREE TECHNOLOGY:
No flickering, at any shutter angle or frame rate.
• DURABILITY
Rugged and reliable design and LED lifetime of more than 50Kh.
• VERSATILITY:
Perfect continuous lighting for videography, but also great as secondary lights
for still photography in low light situations.
• QUIET:
Silent running lighting fixture.
• NO HEAT:
Cool to the touch.
• FUTURE PROOF:
The partnership with established LED manufacturers assures that products belonging to Spectra range
and their future releases, will always embed the best state-of–art LED technology.
