CineLED EVO vs. CineLED Studio
Trying to find the light that works the best for your project, you may stumble across some products that are mainly doing the same thing and cannot understand the price difference.
To exemplify this, we shall take the LED Panel category from our web-shop and highlight the differences between the two models we offer: CineLED EVO and CineLED Studio versions.
Starting with the CineLED EVO line, we developed these products to meet the portability and color rendering requirements of both professional and amateur users.
The compact design with a slim profile makes it perfect for travel and also for small setups where there is a limited space to work with.
Lightweight aluminum housing with ventilation slots ensures an efficient passive heat dissipation.
A comprehensive accessory line that includes various light modifiers, remote control,stands and transport bag makes the CineLED EVO panel a versatile instrument to use for any type of project, like a YouTube video, a ceremonial event, a photo shooting, basically for any content that creators are delivering these days.
Moving to the CineLED Studio fixtures, what is about them that justifies the price difference comparing to CineLED EVO panels?
First of all, there are significantly more powerful lights that produce a bright light with a wider beam area. They are addressed to a better-defined niche, namely to the permanent studio installations like TV news and entertainment productions sets.
Also, having a higher output which is a must when working on larger sets, the CineLED Studio uses an active cooling system to maintain a stable performance over prolonged usage, while preserving the lifespan of the LED panel.
In terms of construction, the robust fully aluminum housing has a functional design with top handle and bottom legs to easily manipulate, mount and store the panel. These are important features as these lights are heavier, more solidly built to withstand intensive, daily use on busy sets.
Another distinctive feature of the CineLED Studio panels is the deeper housing that increases de distance between the SMD LEDs and front diffusion filter for a more diffused light with clean, soft shadows that can be used on larger surfaces. Similar effect can be achieved also with the CineLED EVO panels by using an optional softbox with it. Sure, there is still an obvious difference in terms of output, which we are trying to highlight on this Studio version.
Last, but not least, there are the lighting effect with adjustable parameters of the CineLED Studio which increase the user’s creativity, and can save a lot of time and effort when it comes to a scene’s props. Using an effect preset is the most accessible way to create impressive dynamic scenes from the touch of a button. Nevertheless, this is not an impossible task for creative users using programmable DMX console to achieve with lights like CineLED EVO that do not have this feature.
In conclusion, it’s all about the type of projects you want these lights for, some want to rely on a solid product for an intensively used setup and are willing to make an investment, some are taking on-the-go projects and need to work with more portable and hassle-free lights, while also fitting into a tight budget.
