Introduction Today, LEDs are recognized as the most cutting-edge lighting technology, and this is true for the majority lighting applications. Well-designed LED fixtures and luminaries can provide the required surface illuminance with an improved uniformity, while using less energy compared to traditional light sources.
Product family overview Manfrotto Spectra range consists of a complete family of high performance LED lights which come in different sizes, offering increasing light output, and with varying levels of specification to meet many different requirements. Spectra 500S Spectra 500F Spectra 900S Spectra 900F Spectra 900FT MLS500S MLS500F MLS900S MLS900F MLS900FT Lightweight, high light output and state of the art color rendition.
Possible System Combinations 1. COMPATIBLE LIGHT STANDS To use Spectra LED lights off camera, on a lighting stand, we recommend to choose Manfrotto Babylighting Stands. 2. ALTERNATIVE SUPPORTS Manfrotto Arms, clamps and other accessories are useful tools to create alternative supporting solutions. 3. ACCESSORIES Spectra LED lights can optionally be powered by mains though an AC adapter, sold separately. The AC adaptor can run with, but will not charge, the batteries inside the fixture.
All LED lights can be powered by mains voltage in the range 100-240VAC trough an AC adapter, optionally available (see chapter” Logistic Data”) The models Spectra 900F and Spectra 900FT are provided with D-tap input; the optional D-Tap Adapter Cable facilitates the operation of the fixture with various power sources utilizing D-Tap plugs.
- CCT CCT stands for Correlated Color Temperature. The Color Temperature of a light source indicates the specific color of light that a black body radiator emits at a given physical temperature. As the temperature of a black body radiator increases, the hue shifts from yellow-orange, to white, to blue. The sun and an incandescent bulb are examples of black body radiators.
- LIGHT SPECTRUM The family name SPECTRA has been inspired by the visible light spectrum, i.e. the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, whom the human eye will respond to (from about 390 to 700 nm). The more uniform is the light spectrum of an emitting light source, the better the quality of the emitted white light. When it comes to photography and videography, the light spectrum of the light source has extreme relevance, since it has a direct impact on the quality of the final result.
CCT 5350 °K CRI 93 Picture 4:Light Spectrum of LEDs embedded in the following SPECTRA models: 500F LIGHT SPECTRUM BY BAD-QUALITY LED LIGHTS Budget competition measures deficient color spectra and corresponding low CRI. The values and the spectrum shown below, are the result of real measurements on some LED lights available in the market. Note the single phosphor peak in the green portion of the spectrum. This green emphasis results in high brightness and high CCT, but low CRI.
- RADIATION PATTERN The different packages and types of LEDs generate different spatial radiation patterns. The following diagrams show the angle-dependent distribution of radiation of Spectra LED fixtures. Exact measurements of the beam angle for the different models are given in Table 4.
• Thermal considerations LED components are extremely sensitive to temperature. A non-proper design of the circuitry, in terms of thermal management, can cause an overheating of LEDs, which is responsible for a shorter lifetime and color shift. In Manfrotto Spectra LED Fixtures, particular design techniques have been implemented, in order to properly dissipate heat from LEDs. Explanations are given hereafter. The operational ambient temperature is in the range -20°C to +50°C.
Norms and Standards Manfrotto Spectra LED Fixtures comply with the following standards and regulatory requirements: 1. 2. 3. 4. CE EMC Directive (2004/108/EC) per EN 61000-6-3, EN 61000-3-2, EN61000-3-3, EN61000-6-1 Electromagnetic compatibility: FCC Part 15, Subpart B, Class B RoHS Compliant Photobiological Safety: IEC 62471. The standard deals with the safety implications for the eyes, due to LED sources emitting visible optical radition.
