Energy Efficiency
The Celeb 850 LED DMX operates on universal AC power and needs only 5.0A (120VAC). The Celeb’s cost savings from low energy and long lamp life continues Kino Flo’s reputation as an environmentally friendly lighting company.
All-in-one Design
The Celeb 850 LED DMX is comprised of a rugged metal alloy fixture which includes state of the art electronics with onboard and DMX dimming and runs universally at 100-240VAC. With three menus, White and two Color menus, presets can be fine-tuned to custom settings from 2700K to 6500K in the white menu and custom settings from 2500K to 9900K in the color menus. In the white menu, the user has access to Green/Magenta control. In the first color menu, there are three additional channels, Gels, Hue Angle and Saturation. In the second color menu, the user has access to individual Red, Green, Blue (RGB) control which works great with Apps with predetermined RGB presets or color wheels.
Light levels do not change when selecting Kelvin settings and there is no color shift while dimming. With its slim profile design, the Celeb LED includes a removable honeycomb louver. The molded corner accessory holders can also be used as a 4-point rope hang. With wireless capability, the Celeb 850 LED can be operated DMX wirelessly as an alternative to DMX cables. The all-in-one design with universal VAC and DMX operation makes the Celeb 850 LED a versatile and portable tool whether it’s in the studio or on location.
Center Mount, Yoke Mount and Pole-Op Mount
The Center Mount design allows the fixture to spin 360° to produce a wide range of desired angles. For further control, the center mount can also rotate at 90° stops. The Center Mount can be used on a stand with the Junior Stand Adapter (MTP-V63JR) included with the Center Mount or can be hung from a grid with the Hanging Adapter accessory (MTP-V63H1). The Yoke Mount fixture includes a welded alloy yoke bale offering unlimited orientation of fixture movement to focus the light when lighting from a grid. The Yoke Mount can attach to stands or studio grid hardware via a standard junior pin and a Junior Pin Assembly (MTP-I80 - sold separately). The Pole-Op Yoke includes an attached junior pin and offers an advantage of lighting from a grid and eliminating the need for ladder access or costly automated rigging and hoist systems.
Long LED Life
Rated lifetime is up to 50,000 hours. With its long LED life, the Celeb’s unique design maintains its color-correct color temperature.
True Match® Color-Correct
As with all Kino Flo products, the Celeb 850 LED has been specially formulated to match the spectral distribution curves of today’s HD film and video equipment. The Celeb LED has a high color rendering index of CRI 95.
Even while dimming, the fixture is flicker-free and without color shift.
Heat Management Design
For Kino Flo, heat management is a critical design element of fixture design. The physical heat or buildup
heat within the LED fixture will directly influence the color temperature, lumen performance and life of the LED.
The Celeb’s unique design operates coolly, consumes very low energy (5.0A, 120VAC) and is properly ventilated to maintain a stable color temperature.
A well maintained temperature extends the lumen maintenance, color temperature and life of the LED.
Cost Savings
Cost savings attributed to the Celeb 850 LED cover a broad range of concerns:
- Low energy costs
- Less heat so low air conditioning expenses
Energy Savings Calculations
With the push for reducing fossil fuel consumption, TV studios are looking at cooler more efficient lighting systems to reduce the costs and save energy. Part of this process involves generating energy values to determine savings. One of the most important values is Btu/kWh.
British Thermal Units per Kilowatt Hour
Any light generates a percentage of usable light and the rest in heat. For example, a standard incandescent light bulb converts only 11 percent of its electrical input into visible light, while the rest is dissipated directly as heat. There are energy costs involved in cooling the studio environment. The measure of Btu/kWh is a means of calculating the thermal loads related to operating lighting.
Use the following information to calculate Btu/kWh Watts to Btu:
1 kWh = 3413 Btu/Hr
1 Watt = 3.413 Btu/Hr
