Kino 4×4: 1-Lamp Kit
Kino 4×4: 1-Lamp Kit from Lightbulb Rentals is a broad, diffuse light source that’s equally at home in the studio or on the road. The kit includes the (1) 4′ 4Bank fixtures, (1) multi-voltage high output ballast, (1) mounts with 5/8″ receiver, (1) 90 degree grids, (1) 25′ head to ballast cable, a soft-shell travel case, and enough daylight and tungsten bulbs to prepare the fixture for either color temperature.
The reintroduced 4Bank is a 4-lamp fixture that draws only 2.6A @ 120 VAC yet outputs the equivalent of a 1,000W traditional softlight. Barndoors are built into the 4Bank to control the light output and a 90 degree grid is included for further control. The 11.5 lb fixture is light enough to be taped or nailed to a wall or use the included long-neck lollipop mounting arm with 5/8″ receiver for traditional light stand support. Convenience features include color coded connectors. The included True Match bulbs ensure a CRI rating of 95.
The BAL-427 ballast can run the 4′ or 2′ 4Bank fixtures and the front panel has individual on/off control for each lamp. It’s lighter weight than its predecessor, yet retains all the performance features of the previous model. The unit is flicker-free and dead quiet when running, while HO (High Output) switching sends the optimal current to the lamp head so that it’s as bright as possible. The BAL-427 is rated 100-240 VAC for worldwide use. Although fluorescent lighting has largely been overshadowed by the emerging LED generation, Kino Flo fixtures are a still a soft and efficient way of lighting any set at a great price point from Lightbulb Rentals.
