Litepanels Files Complaint with the ITC

PVC News Staff | 09/21

Litepanels, Ltd. and Litepanels, Inc. on August 3, 2011, filed a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission in Washington D.C. The complaint, entitled In Re Certain LED Photographic Lighting Devices and Components Thereof, DN 2838, seeks to prevent IKAN Corporation and fourteen other companies from the importation and sale of solid state and LED lighting devices and components, pursuant to section 337 of Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. 1337). Litepanels seeks a general exclusion order which, should they prevail, would allow them to prevent LED photographic lighting and other devices from entering the United States in the future, and without further hearings, review or approval from any outside group or governing body.

IKAN will oppose the complaint. Interested parties may contact the U. S. International Trade Commission and voice their concerns in this matter. For more information, please contact:

Disclaimer: I have some products from Litepanels and others from Ikan, but I don’t have a dog in this fight. I was just intrigued by the story.

LED Light Tests: Flesh Tone and Color Comparison Shootout

Art Adams | 04/09

There’s one color that will always bother us if it’s wrong: flesh tone. We tested ten common LED lights against a tungsten Inkie and a Kino Flo… come see the results!

LED Light Tests: PRG Sponsors an LED Light Shootout

Art Adams | 04/02

A dozen lights, an Arri Alexa, an intrepid crew… what could go wrong? Lots, which is why we had to work extra hard. Tests are never easy, and comparison tests are among the hardest of all.

“LED Light Shootout” sounds so dramatic, as if a collection of motley illuminants met in a dusty western town to settle their differences with bullets instead of marketing. It’s actually tedious, mind numbing work… and a real…
