8ft Mega Single System SYS-9601-M230

The first thing to note about the Mega Single System is that it consists of four components: Mega Single Fixture (fig. 1), Mounting Plate (fig. 2), Ballast (fig. 3) and Extension Cable (fig. 4). It was designed in this manner to allow the greatest flexibility when working on film production where the gaffer and DP are constantly being challenged to light unique locations and problem solve at a moment's notice.

Sometimes size does matter, so Kino Flo introduced a larger version of its popular 2ft and 4ft Select Single lighting systems. The new line is called Mega, as opposed to Select, and uses 6ft and 8ft T-12 bi-pin Lamps. The Mega series gives broader coverage to large areas, especially when using silks, backlighting photographic panels or building soft boxes to light automobiles or other large objects.

Even though it is a large source, the Mega Single 8ft system only draws 1.1 Amps at 120vac and can plug into any wall socket on location. With its narrow profile, the Mega Single can approximate the quality of light from bounced sources and create a tremendous amount of "wrap".

The Mega Single fixture houses the lamp and is comprised of a removable Louver (x2), Reflector and Lamp Harness.

Note: The 8ft fixtures include two 4ft Louvers; the 6ft fixtures include two 3ft Louvers.

The Louver and Reflector are held in place with Velcro fasteners. There is a strain relief on the lamp harness to ensure the connectors don’t pull off the lamps during operation. To get the harness away from the fixture, turn the ¼ turn fastener and rotate counter-clockwise to release.

1) Complete fixture with all components combined.

2) "Harness Only"
The wiring harness is removed from the fixture so that the user can build a softbox, hide behind Plexiglass or rig into tight locations. The wiring harness uses Kino Flo designed lamp connectors that grab the lamp pins so lamps can be operated independently of the fixture.

3) "Harness + Reflector"
Same as above, but may want to use the reflector to give more punch and direction to the light.

4) Can use Louver to give direction to the light or remove louver to give broad coverage over an area, such as lighting blue and green screens etc.

The fixtures can take a variety of lamps. They can be used as a daylight source by using Kino Flo KF55 lamps or a tungsten source using Kino Flo KF32 lamps. A variety of visual effects for blue and green screen as well as designer colors are available.

Kino Flo lamps are color-correct and safety-sleeved. The lamps are safety-sleeved because they can operate inside the fixture or independently with only the wiring harness. Additionally, on a production set the lamps are often changed out. The safety-sleeving offers protection during lamp changes for the user as well as the talent on the set.

1) Kompletné svietidlo so všetkými súčasťami

2) "Len káblový zvätok"
Káblový zväzok sa odstráni z držiaka tak, že užívateľ môže vytvoriť softbox, ktorý môže skovať sa plexisklo alebo priamo alebo upevniť v tesných lokáciách. Káble používaju Kino flom navrhnuté trubicové konektory, ktoré sa uchytia na trubicové kolíky, takže trubice sa dajú použiť nezávysle od obalu svetla.

3) "Káblový zväzok + reflektor"
To isté ako v bode číslo 2 len s tým rozdielom, že niektorý chcú používať aj reflektor na usmernenie a zvýraznenie svetelného toku.

4) Može sa použit mriežka na zmenšenie a usmernenie svetelného uhla, alebo nepoužiť čo zabezpečí široký uhol svietenia , napríklad pri zelenom alebo modrom kľúčovaní.

Do svetla sa dá použiť niekoľko druhov trubíc. Možu byť použité ako zdroj denného svetla S trubicami KF55 alebo ranného svetla S KF32, zelené a modré na kľúčovanie, alebo niekoľko druhov rôznych farieb.

Kino Flo trubice sú farebne korektné a potiahnuté ochrannou fóliou. Táto ochranná fólia zabezpečuje aby pri náhodnom rozbytí trubice nedošlo k úrazu.
