Key Features:
Small: The Lowel i-light and id-light are small and light enough to be easily hand held. There compact design is a triumph of form and function. (barn doors sold separately)
Dimmable: The d in id stands for dimmer. This combined dimmer and switch unit ensures the bulb has a soft start each time you switch it on prolonging it's life. It also has the more obvious function of giving you ultimate control of the light output level. A dimmed id-light is perfect when lighting people at a candle lit table for instance.
Note: Some play or movement in the dimmer switch knob and circuit whilst being operated is quite normal and doesn't affect it's use in any way.
Flood and spot control: At the heart of any good battery light is a moveable filament, reflector or lens. Each design produces a slightly different characteristic to the size, quantity and pattern of light emitted. The flood and spot function on the Lowel i-light and id-light moves the bubble in relation to the reflector to give a significant range of spot intensity. A subtle diffusion on the lens ensures a pleasing drop off from the lit to unlit part of the scene.
XLR connectors: The Lovegrove supplied Lowel i-light and id light are fitted with a professional 4pin XLR connector. This small, robust, latching inline connector is solid and provides secure electrical connections time after time. Rated at 10A, the 4 pin XLR is simply the best and worth paying a bit more for. Don't settle for less.
Ask yourself, do I need a dimmer switch?: There is no right or wrong answer here, and to a certain degree you can control light levels by other means. With the non-dimmable i-light you can attenuate the light using barn doors or simply by moving the light further away from the subject adjust the perceivable brightness level of the light. Most people use these lights on full power, but if you would like complete control in all conditions, then perhaps you should consider the dimmable id-light. The choice is yours.
Your battery will run for longer if the lamp is dimmed.
