Unique Linear Array
The BladeLight uses linear strips of high density, high power COB LEDs. The linear LED array includes a variable height lens to offer multiple beam angles of 120/60/20 degrees. The lens not only shapes the light but magnifies it for a brighter light.
Soft And Razor Sharp Light Control
The BladeLights unique length in 36" and 18" versions allows the BladeLight to act like a Longer tube fluorescent lighting solution. Placing diffusion on the Barndoors or Silks in front of the BladeLight create a much stronger Soft Panel LED lighting solution.

Standard LED Panels have slotted shadows (Multiple shadows) when you cut the light with their attached Barndoors or Flags.
