SWIT Electronics S-2041U 23W Chip Array LED On-Camera Light, 5000K and 5600K/3200K Switchable, with Sony BP-U Battery Plate

Chip Array LED
New generation LED technology
The S-2041 on-camera LED light adopts the new generation LED technology called Chip Array LED, which integrates the LEDs into a chip with high brightness output but in smaller size and the most remarkable, it offers a equally spread, soft, glareless light, similar to the traditional Halogen bulb light.

23W Light Output, 100W Blub Equivalent
1200 Lux at 1 meter distance and 1 meter scale
S-2041 feeds 23W light output and equivalent to an 100W halogen bulb. The illuminance is 1200 Lux at 1 meter distance and 1 meter scale

Wider Beam Angle
Equally spread lights, no visible beam edge
The traditional LED lights use lens to converge and get a higher brightness, but dropped down quickly around, which will generate a visible lighting border in the image. In comparison, the Chip Array LED generates a wider beam angle, equally spread from the center to edge and suitable for HD shooting.

Glareless light, Single Shadow
The traditional LED array always generates several highlight pots on retina and people will feel glaring, even can't recover sight until a few seconds. In comparison, the SWIT Chip Array LED has only one bulb in appearance and output a glareless, single shadow light, suitable for close interview shooting.

3200K/5000K/5600K Color Temperature
The S-2041 LED has 5000K color temperature and also equipped with a 5600K (Daylight) and a 3200K (Tungsten) color temperature filter. You can switch the color temperature easily.

6-17V Wide Voltage Power Supply
The S-2041 accepts 6-17V wide voltage input, so you can get power from 14.4V V-mount/Gold Mount batteries or 7.2V DV batteries. The light package goes with a D-tap to pole-tap cable (S-7104), to plug into the DC-IN port of S-2041 and get power from D-tap power output sockets, such as batteries, battery plates or camera handle. You can also directly mount a 7.2V DV battery onto the rear of S-2041, by the particular battery plate.

Interchangeable DV plates
You can power the S-2041 by most popular DV batteries, via the easy interchangeable DV battery plates.

Power by Special Compact Battery
If you want a compact battery power solution, you may choose SWIT S-8040 Li-ion battery to instead of the DV plates and DV batteries. The S-8040 is specially used for S-2041, with 7.2V, 21Wh/3Ah capacity and can run nearly 1 hour on S-2041. The S-8040 has a 4-level power indicators and a pole-tap charging input socket. You can use SWIT portable Pole-tap charger S-3010D to charger S-8040.

Dimmer control
S-2041 has a dimmer controller to adjust the light output from 10%-100%. The color temperature will not change during the dimmer controlling.

Cold Shoe and Screw head installation
S-2041 can be fixed on camera via 1/4" screw head and the package also goes with a spare cold shoe part for users to change the screw connector to cold shoe.

About the Chip Array LED
LED has taken place of Halogen bulb at broadcast on-camera light several years ago, for its high efficient output, low power consumption and long life. However, due to the obvious disadvantage of glaring, multiple shadows and shining, people are still thinking of the Halogen bulb that can feed soft light. Now SWIT has brought out the new LED technology into on-camera lighting, called Chip Array LED light, which integrates the LEDs into a chip, with high brightness output but in smaller size and the most remarkable, it offers a equally spread, soft, glareless light that similar to the traditional Halogen bulb light.

The Beam Angle Comparison
The traditional LED lights use lens to converge and get a higher brightness, as s result, the effective lighting scale is limited. Normally they say if the illuminance drops to a half, it is considered ineffective lighting scale. So according to the illuminance-scale chart, in 1 meter lighting distance, the traditional lens converged LED light has only 600mm diameter scale, about 33deg. beam angle, while SWIT chip array LED light covered 1000mm diameter scale, about 60deg. beam angle. Moreover, the lens converged light has higher brightness in the center, but dropped down quickly around, which will generate a visible lighting border in the image and that is unbearable for cameras.
