Gekko Technology to launch kezia full-colour and tunable-white LED luminaires at NAB Show 2010

PVC News Staff | 02/12

Gekko Technology, a world-leading manufacturer of high-efficiency LED lighting systems for film and television production, will be introducing two major additions to its range at NAB Show 2010 in Las Vegas, April 12-15. Designated kezia 50 and kezia 200, both are hard-source LED luminaires based on Gekko’s kleer-colour light engine, with variants for film and television as well as entertainment.

“The kezia 50 and 200 offer film and television lighting directors and cameramen precise tuneable whites and dimming under local or DMX control,” explains Gekko Technology Managing Director David Amphlett. “As well as tuneable whites in the 2,900 to 6,500 K range, the entertainment version can also produce millions of other colours. The capacity of the lamp to generate high quality whites reduces the need for multiple sources with different capabilities.”

The kezia 50 is comparable in output brightness to a 250 W tungsten fresnel lamp-head yet consumes only 50 W of electrical power. The kezia 200 has a similar brightness to a 1 kW tungsten source whilst consuming only 190 W of power. Like all Gekko LED luminaires, the kezia 50 and 200 generate far less heat than more traditional fixtures. Both use unique colour-feedback technology which ensures consistent colour temperature quality as ambient conditions change or the unit ages. Colour temperature accuracy also remains constant as the light is dimmed.

Co-exhibiting with PRG on booth C3743 (Central Hall), Gekko Technology will be represented at NAB Show 2010 by David Amphlett (Managing Director) and Ian Muir (Business Development Manager).

Gekko Technology designs and manufactures LED lighting products for the global film, television and photographic industry. Gekko is committed to supporting users with innovative products, including unique functionality and the advantages of minimal weight, low power consumption and long life. High component quality and build quality are key drivers. Gekko Technology products include kisslite®, lenslite®, kicklite® and george (TM). Credits include Casino Royale, Quantum of Solace, Death Defying Acts, Mama Mia, Golden Compass and television drama such as Star Trek, Desperate Housewives, Waking the Dead, New Tricks and The Commander.

LIGHTING STRATEGIES: Exploiting a Single Light Source

Art Adams | 01/28

Sometimes all it takes to make a beautiful picture is placing one light—as long as it’s the proper light source. This still photo shows an example of one style of soft lighting that’s been in use for centuries, and for good reason: it works.

There are few things more elegant than lighting a shot with a single light source. It doesn’t always work, but when it does—it’s magical.

Adobe teases Prelude at the San Francisco Supermeet, FCPUG changes its name

Scott Simmons | 01/28

The Adobe sneak looks intriguing. Makes me excited for CS6.

From the looks of Twitter last night there were a couple of surprises at the Friday evening’s San Francisco Supermeet. First bit of news I saw was that Final Cut Pro User Group (FCPUG) has decided to drop the Final Cut Pro designation from their name to become the Creative Pro User Group. Second was a sneak peek from Adobe about a new application called Prelude.
