Fotodiox C-200S Pro FlapJack LED Edge Light, Includes 5x8" Rectangle Ultrathin, Daylight LED Dimmable Photo/Video Light with Case, Battery and Charger

Fotodiox presents the newest idea in LED lighting; the FlapJack LED Edgelight. The challenge was to create something different; an LED light that is more portable than ever, faster and easier to set up and offers a complete lighting solution right out of the box. The FlapJack LED Edgelights deliver on all this and more.

Instead of forward-facing LEDs like in a conventional panel, the FlapJack's LEDs are mounted around the outer edge, aimed inward at layers of diffusion material. Instead of a direct beam, the FlapJack's bounced light approach produces a soft, even glow with no hotspots. It's perfect for filling in shadows or using as a glamor light. All of this within an elegant form factor - less than 1/2" at its thinnest point.

Every Flapjack light runs on either AC power or a NP-F style rechargeable battery, both of which are included in the kit. The light is fully dimmable, with no change in color temperature, from 10-100%. A back-lit LCD indicator shows both light level and battery life status.

The internally bounced light is easier on the eyes - your subject can look directly toward the light with no discomfort. Hide a FlapJack in a lamp to mimic an on-set practical light or take advantage of the compact size to light up cramped spaces; like a car interior or an office cubicle. The Flapjack is also perfect for tabletop food or product photography. Enjoy the look of a big soft light without melting your subject!

The compact FlapJack can mount practically anywhere. use the included ball-head to mount to a light stand or to the camera's accessory shoe. The built in 1/4-20" mounting points let you attach the FlapJack directly to a tabletop tripod or lighting clamp. These lights are so lightweight, you can can mount them with velcro, cord, even tape! Finally, you can get more creative with light placement than ever before.

FlapJack lights are ready to shoot with, right out of the case. The FlapJack produces bounced light rather than a full spotlight, so you don't have to work hard to create soft, beautiful light. It's almost like having a softbox built right in. Great for fasts setups, as for interview situations. In a few minutes you can be ready to roll with beautiful soft lighting, requiring just minimal setup. An entire light kit can fit easily in a messenger bag or camera bag.

The Flapjack lights produce little heat (the edges where the LEDs are housed may get a little warm after after running consistently at 100%) and have a very low current draw. You can easily run several Flapjacks on a conventional household electrical circuit. Leave them running all day without fear of cooking your subject or breaking the bank on your electrical bill.

Each FlapJack includes a rechargeable Sony NP-F style lithium-ion battery, charging station and an AC adapter - all in a fitted hard-shell case with a handle. Each FlapJack is made of durable lightweight metal.
