Back in November, Abel was lucky enough to host a special series of workshops presented by the inventor of Dedolights himself, German cinematographer Dedo Weigert. The event was filmed and we’ve put together a ten-minute-long excerpt especially for viewing on the web. In it, Dedo explains how to set up a five-piece lighting kit most effectively in an interview situation. Check out the video here on our main site.

Recently I was asked why we sell seemingly similar lights at such different prices. The easy answer is that they offer different lensing, which means different performance. But I thought there had to be a better way to quantify and qualify that, so I made a chart that lays out some of the technical differences such as number of footcandles at a given beam spread. That’s easy, as it can be gleaned from any manufacturer’s website. So I also set up a comparative display of three lights to show qualitatively their differences. I compared the Lowel Pro 200w, Arri Junior 150w, and Dedolight 150w. Both the chart and the display are set up in our NY showroom, and you can watch a video of my test on our website.
