DIRECTIONAL BEAM SPREADER DWAFX
A special structure in a metal frame / holding ring – These unique light-shaping attachments spread the defined
beam of the focusing dedolight in one direction. The orientation of the beam spread can be rotated.
high transmission practically no diffusion
Can also be used for a combination of several
dedolights in spot or medium focus position (all
with equal focus and intensity settings – DMX),
placed in parallel direction to achieve a uni-
form band of light.
Similar effects have always been possible on
focusing studio lights or lights with a defined
beam angle by adding a gel filter called
"brushed silk". This is still valid, but will always
produce a noticeable amount of diffusion at the
same time as spreading the light beam in one
direction.
With the unequalled dedolight and it‘s clean
beam concept, these directional beam sprea-
ders DWAFX allow the spreading of the light
without causing diffusion.
The effect on a dedolight: On multiple dedolights:
In virtual studios, great care is taken to light the green background and
floor evenly and free of shadows.

This for example with 2 rows of KinoFlo Image 80 lights. In most
cases, the lighting on the lonely person in the green desert looks relatively
sad and unstructured when shooting a medium shot or close-up in such
situations. It rarely ever happens that the light on the person has anything
to do with the lighting found in the virtual background.
These directional beam spreaders are available to fit the classic focusing dedolights such as the DLH4, DLHM4-300, DLH200DT and the new
DLED4.1 – DWAFX (diameter 76mm)
Available for Series 400 dedolights such as the DLH400DT, DLH650 and DLH436 also the new DLED9.1 – DWAFX400
Also for our Series 1200 lights such as the DLH1200D, DLH1000T and our largest focusing LED fixture, the DLED12.1 – DWAFX1200
Use of DWAFX beam spreader for backlight and contour light in a virtual studio
Placing whole banks of parallel dedolights on both sides

,
controlling each bank of the lights in an identical way by DMX
control, the actor can be lit from the knee upward without causing
any noticeable shadows on the green floor. Even if the dedolights are
placed in such a way that they are looking downward at a moderate
angle, the shadows can be projected to fall outside of the ‘action area’.
Also adding an extra light source

to bring some life to the eyes, it
is possible to adapt the lighting to closely match the virtual background.
Eventually we will have some videos explaining different approaches
for lighting methods for virtual studios.
For tungsten use dedolights DLHM4-300DMX or DLH650DMX
For daylight use dedolights DLED4.1-D or DLED9.1-D
For controlled changes of color temperature for back light and contour light
use bicolor versions of DLED4.1-BI-DMX or DLED9.1-BI-DMX
