The 8ft Mega 4Bank DMX lighting systems<\/strong> are reintroduced with a new design. With new universal voltage from
\n100VAC-240VAC, the lighter weight Mega 4Bank DMX ballast draws only 4.3A (120VAC), almost 50% less than the previous model. New features include new graphics and new rounded power switches with the same classic features: individual light control, HO\/Standard switching and the same high quality standards: flicker-free, instant-on, dead quiet operation. Color temperature doesn\u2019t shift when light levels change. The large portable soft lights give the cinematographer or lighting designer
\na unique soft light that cannot be easily duplicated with traditional luminaires. Lightweight and cool in operation, they can be hand-held, attached directly to a set wall or stand mounted.<\/p>\n

Mega 4Bank DMX System<\/p>\n

The first thing to note about the Mega 4Bank DMX System is that it consists of four components: Mega 4Bank Fixture (fig. 1),
\nMounting Plate (fig. 2), Ballast (fig. 3) and Extension Cable (fig. 4). It was designed in this manner to allow the greatest flexibility
\nwhen working on film production where the gaffer and DP are constantly being challenged to light unique locations and problem solve
\nat a moment’s notice.<\/p>\n

Sometimes size does matter, so Kino Flo introduced a larger version of its popular 2ft and 4ft Select 4Bank lighting systems.
\nThe new line is called “Mega” and uses 6ft and 8ft T-12 bi-pin Lamps. The Mega series gives broader coverage to large areas,
\nespecially when using silks, backlighting photographic panels or building soft boxes to light automobiles or other large objects.<\/p>\n

Even though it is a large source, the Mega 4Bank 8ft system only draws 4.3 Amps at 120vac and can plug into any wall socket on location. With its narrow profile, the Mega 4Bank can approximate the quality of light from bounced sources and create a tremendous amount of “wrap”.<\/p>\n

The Mega 4Bank Fixture<\/p>\n

The Mega 4Bank fixture houses the lamps and is comprised of a removable Louver (x2), Reflector, and Lamp Harness.
\nNote: The 8ft fixtures include two 4ft Louvers; the 6ft fixtures include two 3ft Louvers.<\/p>\n

The Louver and Reflector are held in place with Velcro fasteners. There is a strain relief on the lamp harness to ensure the connectors
\ndon\u2019t pull off the lamps during operation. To get the harness away from the fixture, turn the \u00bc turn fastener and rotate counter-clockwise to release.<\/p>\n

The Harness wiring is color-coded. The same color-code must match at each end of the lamp for proper operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
