The CineCOB 180D is a compact and powerful monolight type fixture that employs a single 180W COB LED module to deliver an ultra bright, daylight balanced output.
Lightweight and compact design
Measuring only 24x18x12 cm and weighing only 1.6kg , the CineCOB is designed with portability in mind and can easily fit in most lighting gear cases.
The lightweight aluminum construction combined with the smart thermal circuit design ensures an efficient heat dissipation for a stable, consistent high output over it's service life.
Powerful True-Tone COB LED
The new CINECOB series uses the latest True-Tone COB LED engine specially developed for photo-video industry, reaching high scores for color index ratings (CRI 97 / TLCI 98). This enables accurate color rendering on cameras for professional looking results.
With just 180W power draw, the CineCOB produces a bright, daylight balanced even field of light with an approx. equivalent output of a 1000W+ tungsten light.
Universal Bowens mount
By adopting the common used Bowens type-S mount the CineCOB 180D can be paired with a wide range of light modifiers such like softboxes & domes, beauty dishes, snoots, reflectors, focusing lens available from various international brands. This makes CineCOB monolight one of the most versatile fixture to sculpt the light to suit any application or creative vision.
With one push of a button and a quarter turn the light modifiers can be quickly swapped out to keep up with today's speedy production schedules.
External controller
The controls of the CineCOB are separated from the main head unit and keeping the balance of weight off of the top of a stand while having an easy access to the light adjustable parameters.
Controller is equipped with a digit display for shows useful information like brightness value, battery charge level, DMX channel number and the radio channel for remote operation. The controller features an oversized glove friendly dial-wheel to quickly make adjustments over the brightness or changing other parameters.
The power controller can also be hanged on a light stand's central column using the included strap to serve as an extra stand stabilizing weight, keeping the whole system balanced.
On the back of the controller there is the V-Mount plate for battery powering the fixture or for attaching the supplied AC-DC adapter for a fit setup.
5 Pre-programmed lighting effects
The CineCOB 180D comes with 5 programmed lighting effects with adjustable parameters, as follows:
1. SOS - light is projected similar to SOS flashlight signals in Morse code (three short flashes, three long flashes, three short flashes)
2. Watch TV - simulates the light emitted by a TV screen
3. Lightning - simulates the lightning phenomenon in a thunderstorm
4. Photo - simulates the light from a camera during a photo session
5. Flash - simulates the light from a camera flash as seen on "paparazzi" style shots
These lighting effects presets enhance the user's creativity and production value, being the most accessible way to create impressive dynamic scenes from the touch of a button.
Industry standard DMX512
Using the built-in industry standard DMX-512 controlling function, the CineCOB 180D can be integrated into more complex studio installations such as news sets, talk-shows or entertainment productions where a standardized remote controlling method is required. The unit is equipped with two Ethernet RJ-45 DMX ports (in / out – loop) allowing the CineCOB to be connected to a DMX lighting console.
2.4GHz remote control
The incorporated 2.4GHz radio technology enables remote operation of the fixture. The included long-range wireless remote is effective from up to 100m distance and can control one or more CineCOB units simultaneously if set on the same channel. This can save a considerable amount of time and effort when operating multiple CineCOBs on the set.
Common powering options
The CineCOB 180D can be powered via the included AC110-240V power adapter with XLR-2P plug or from one 14.8 V-Lock battery using V-Mount plate from the back of the controller, making the CineCOB suitable for both studio and location use. For practical reasons, the power adapter can be attached to the V-Mount plate using the supplied V-lock power adapter belt.
Includes transport case
For convenient storage and carrying, the CineCOB 180D is bundled with a foam padded case that comprises all the CineCOB components: lamphead, controller, power adapter, reflector hood.
