Need a small portable daylight lamp with a lot of punch? How about a lightweight three light kit? What about a camera ringlight? Need to power them off a single circuit? What about off battery power? You want all of this and don’t want to bring a grip truck along to carry it all?

The IANILED54 is a versatile light system that can function as a three light kit or as a single powerful LED unit. It can be battery or AC powered. Three concentric rings of LED lights can be used as individual units or mounted together as a single powerful fixture. Each light section features dimmer control as well as Ianiro’s unique color balance control. The complete kit can be powered from a single camera battery with on board mounts available for Anton Bauer or V-mount bricks. There are more options available in this clever light; check out the video to see.

Abel will also be showing off the IANILED54 at Cine Gear today, so stop by our booth #S209!

A couple of months ago, Mitch did a video discussing the Outsource Creamsource LED Light. At NAB this year, Abel showed it off in our booth and Digital Cinema Society’s president James Mathers took some time to interview its creators. Tama Berkeljon and Sasha Marks of Outsight demonstrate the versatility and key features of the light, as well as talk a little more about how they designed it.

Last year Dedolight introduced the clever, on-camera Ledzilla LED light. Ledzilla features the award-winning Dedo condenser lens technology for focusing and has removable barndoor and filter attachments for shaping the light. These front end attachments can be removed from Ledzilla so that a new line of accessories can be mounted as needed. Watch the video to see the entire line of Ledzilla attachments.

Seven years ago, Litepanels began the revolution when they introduced LED lighting to the production industry. Today, dozens of companies offer LED fixtures, but Litepanels continues to advance the technology with a new series of lights featuring fresnel lensing. There are several innovations to these lamps; check out the video to learn more.

When LED lights first entered our industry a few years ago, they were small on-camera units with an array of emitters spitting light out all over the place. The technology has evolved, and now fixtures such as the Outsight Creamsource offer high efficiency lensed light with a variety of functions. Watch the video to see some of the functionality of this new light. Abel is the exclusive North American reseller for Outsight and will introduce Creamsource to the US market at NAB 2010.

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.
