Litepanels Intro's First All-In-One Spot And Flood LED Light

Litepanels, a Vitec Group company, has introduced the 1 x 1 Bi-Focus, the first LED light fixture capable of variable spot and flood focusing.
An alternative to energy inefficient Fresnel lights, the ultra-thin and portable 1 x 1 Bi-Focus offers a cool-to-the-touch, low energy draw solution that provides the flexibility to instantly vary the width of light beam.
So unique its patented, the 1 x 1 Bi-Focus features two independent sets of daylight colour balanced (5600°K) LED bulbs set in the one-foot by one one-foot square of the fixture: one set of LEDs is comprised of flood bulbs, the other of spot bulbs. By cross-fading between the two sets of LEDs, the user can achieve variable flood or spot output. Because the 1 x 1 Bi-Focus utilises 1152 LED bulbs (twice the number of a standard 1 x 1) the fixture projects the same total light output whether the operator selects spot, flood or any combination in between. Adjustment of the spot and flood setting of the light fixture is easily achieved via it's new integrated DMX controller, or by turning the manual control dial on the back of the 1 x 1 Bi-Focus fixture.
Like all Litepanels 1 x 1 units (one-foot by one-foot), the Bi-Focus offers infinite dimming from 100 per cent to zero with minimal change in colour temperature. Brightness can also be controlled by a built-in dimmer dial on the back of the fixture or by the DMX controller.
The fit-anywhere Bi-Focus runs on battery or AC power, including an optional 1.75 hour onboard battery pack. Like all Litepanels LED fixtures, the 1 x 1 Bi-Focus remains cool to the touch and consumes a small fraction of the power used by traditional lighting fixtures.
