The Cool Lights CL-655 Fluorescent Video Softlight is the professional choice for all types of visual media production from photography to film and video work. Dimmable only by bank select switches. Using six of our special (optimized for video and digital photography) 55 watt biax (PL 2G11) type bulbs, this fixture can put out an equivalent of almost 1300 watts of flicker-free (and quiet) light for drawing only 330 watts. It really is the "cool" choice in studio lighting. Perfect for medium sized studios and newsrooms and green screen lighting on a large scale.

The CL-655 comes with 6 High CRI (>87) 55 watt bulbs (available in choice of 3200K or 5600K). It's universal voltage electronic ballast adapts automatically to your country's voltage (from 100 volts to 240 volts 50/60 hz) and has an output driving frequency of 40khz to guarantee flicker-free (yes--worth saying twice and did we mention quiet?) performance, power plug adaptable through IEC adapter, 3 power switches (1 per 2 bulbs), mounting yoke and mirrored removable barn doors. A slide-in adapter is also included to allow easily attaching eggcrates and other kinds of diffusion panels. The pictured stand is available as a separate option.

Normally $599
