Finnish private broadcaster MTV3 News has selected the Litepanels Sola 6 Fresnel LED lights and the Mono Flood, Bi-Focus and Low-profile Flood 1x1 LED production lights, as part of its move to HD news reporting and presentation.
A major part of this project was the modernization of the 100 m2 studio used for the "Huomenta Suomi" ("Good Morning Finland") in Helsinki.
Litepanels LEDs produce bright and soft 5600°K daylight. The Sola 6 consumes about a sixth of the energy of a conventional 650W tungsten spot. The light also focuses from 70 degrees to 10 degrees and provides the control and the single shadow characteristics of Fresnel lights. The Sola 6 can be dimmed from 100 percent to 0 percent without producing a visible change in color temperature. Focusing and brightness can also be controlled via DMX.
Twenty-four Sola 6 LED Fresnel lights with 6in Fresnel lenses provide HD-friendly lighting in the morning show studio and the news studio.
