This light is excellent! I own Divas and recently purchased this fixture and it's better than the Divas (design-wise) in my opinion. It's smaller, more rugged and just as bright. You can individually turn on and off each lamp as well as dim them (though I don't dim very often due to color shift). Also, there's DMX if you need it. I won't use it but it's nice to know that it's there. I also really like that the lollipop mounting bracket can be easily removed (4 bank style) so that the fixture can be packed away in a compact manner. Also, the louver is much MUCH better than the plastic silver-painted ones that came with the original Divas. Kino Flo has discontinued that louver and has replaced it with this one which is a smart move. Overall, this is a fantastic light. It's bright yet compact. With the new louver it's truly a shapable soft light. Also, since it's Kino Flo you know you're getting quality as well as a high CRI.

The Kino Flo Barfly 450 DMX System (Univ 120U) features long tradition of lightweight, low-profile lighting fixtures that offer flexibility, superior control features and unmatched accuracy. The 450 DMX features a 120VAC built-in ballast that allows you to use it anywhere in the world, as well as 5 - 100% dimming both locally and via DMX for the fixture's four optional 55W lamps. For maximum control and minimum color shift dimming can be combined with each of the four lamp's power control switches. Thanks to superior heat management design both the lamps and the ballast enjoy a long lifetime while reproducing color at an impressive 95 CRI when used with Kino's True Match lamps.
Extremely low physical heat also means that you can squeeze the 4.5" deep fixture into places where a hot light can't go without fear of injuring the talent. And the 450 DMX isn't an energy magnet like most hot lights, either. The fixture is brighter than a 1,000W tungsten soft light while drawing only 2 .4 amps of power. The 450 DMX comes with a 90deg. louver (grid) to add directionality and control spill light and a filter frame for light balancing and diffusion.
