Kino Flo debuted the Diva-Lite LED 30 & 20 DMX at NAB 2016 which received Best of Show awards for video production lighting. The awards are three of the industry’s most prestigious technology honors presented at the NAB 2016 show from Videomaker magazine, Digital Video magazine and Video Edge online magazine.
Simply scroll through the menu to choose up to 105 well-known lighting gels.
Diva-Lite LED has two Menu options. Those who prefer to work with white light can use the "white menu" that gives the user access to Dimming, Kelvin and Green/Magenta control channels.
Those who want additional features can switch over to the new "color menu". In the color menu, the Kelvin range travels from 2500K tungsten to 9900K daylight, and Kino Flo has set up a fourth channel called Gel. The Gel channel includes Kino Flo colors to match Candle Flame, Warm White, Cool White, Sodium Vapor, Mercury Vapor, 20K Blue Sky, Green Screen and Blue screen. In addition, there is a range of gels that can be applied to any Kelvin setting. Simply scroll through the menu to choose up to 105 well-known lighting gels.
In the color menu, there is also a fifth channel called Hue Angle and sixth channel, Saturation. These two channels behave similar to a traditional color wheel, where you have white light in the center, the Hue angle determines the color along a 360-degree range, and Saturation determines how much color is applied. For example, if a user wants to review the choices, they can set Saturation to 100% and scroll through 360-degrees of color to choose the desired hue, and adjust the Saturation to their liking. Reducing the saturation to "0" will take the settings back to white light.
Kino Flo's new Diva-Lite LED also comes with standard DMX and wireless DMX (Lumen Radio®), 24VDC input, and universal voltage input 100-240VAC (0.65 Amps at 230U). We also recently added new Snapbag Softbox and Snapgrid accessories.
Advantages
Energy Efficiency
The Diva-Lite LED DMX operates on universal AC power or battery power and needs only 1.3A at 120VAC or 7A at 24VDC (Diva-Lite LED 30). The Diva-Lite LED’s cost savings from low energy and long LED life continues Kino Flo’s reputation as an environmentally friendly lighting company.
All-in-one Design
The Diva-Lite LED is comprised of a lightweight fixture design with built-in barndoors and a removable 90° honeycomb louver. The center mount with baby receiver lollipop can mount directly onto a baby stand or hang from a grid with a baby pipe clamp.
The Diva-Lite LED features state of the art electronics with onboard and DMX dimming with DMX auto terminate. The five push-button Kelvin presets can be fine-tuned to custom settings from 2700K to 6500K with a turn of a dial. Light levels do not change when selecting Kelvin settings. The Diva-Lite LED also features a Green/Magenta control to match the spectral sensitive curves of the most popular cameras and other light sources on the set. With built-in DMX and Lumen Radio® receivers, the Diva-Lite LED’s can be controlled by DMX and/or DMX wireless. With universal input at 100-240VAC, the Diva-Lite LED 30 uses only 1.3A at 120VAC or 7A at 24VDC. The unique features and portable design make the Diva-Lite LED a versatile tool in the studio or on location.
Long LED Life
LED’s are well known as being energy efficient, lasting for thousands of hours. While Kino Flo’s Diva-Lite LED also has a long LED life, the Diva-Lite LED’s unique design will maintain its color-correct color temperature.
True Match® Color-Correct
As with all Kino Flo products, the Diva-Lite LED has been specially formulated to match the spectral distribution curves of today’s HD film and video equipment. The Diva-Lite LED has a high color rendering index of CRI 95. Even while dimming, the fixture is flicker-free and without color shift.
Heat Management Design
For Kino Flo, heat management is a critical design element of fixture design. The physical heat or buildup heat within the LED fixture will directly influence the color temperature, lumen performance and life of an LED. The Diva-Lite LED’s unique design operates coolly, consumes very low energy (1.3A, 120VAC) and is properly ventilated to maintain a stable color temperature. A well maintained temperature extends the lumen maintenance, color temperature and life of an LED.
Cost Savings
Cost savings cover a broad range of concerns:
- Lower energy costs
- Less heat so lower air conditioning expenses
Energy Savings Calculations
With the push for reducing fossil fuel consumption, TV studios are looking at cooler more efficient lighting systems to reduce the costs and save energy. Part of this process involves generating energy values to determine savings. One of the most important values is Btu/kWh.
British Thermal Units per Kilowatt Hour
A light generates a percentage of usable light and the rest in heat. For example, a standard incandescent light bulb converts only 11 percent of its electrical input into visible light, while the rest is dissipated directly as heat. There are energy costs involved in cooling the studio environment. The measure of Btu/kWh is a means of calculating the thermal loads related to operating lighting.
Use the following information to calculate Btu/kWh Watts to Btu:
1 kWh = 3413 Btu/Hr
1 Watt = 3.413 Btu/Hr
3.413 Btu per Watt-hour

360° Colour
The Kino Diva-Lite LED DMX includes state of the art features; dial-in variable color temperature control; full-range dimming without color shift; programmable presets; three menu options, one white, two color menus and special effects menus. The “white menu” gives the user access to Dimming, Kelvin, and Green/Magenta control channels. Kelvin range is from 2700K to 5500K.
In the first color menu, the Kelvin range is from 2500K tungsten to 9900K daylight with three additional channels, Gel, Hue Angle and Saturation. The Gel channel includes Kino Flo presets such as blue & green screen, sodium vapor, mercury vapor and over 100 well-known lighting gels. The user can also dial in any color through Hue Angle and Saturation. The second color menu provides individual red, green, blue (RGB) control. This menu is a great way to work with Apps with predetermined RGB presets or color wheels.
The FX (Effects) menu provides access to popular effects such as Candle, Fire, TV, Police, Lightning, Paparazzi, Pulse and Scroll. When on the desired effect, there are several pre-sets as well as control parameters that can be altered. For example, in the Lightning effect there is a “Storm” and “Frankenstein” preset, but it is possible to change Rate to provide additional variation.
