Underwater with 1x1, MicroPro & Micro
The three underwater fixtures are specially made to fit Litepanels 1x1s,
MicroPro and Micro. Using stock Litepanels, The SeaSun housing encases
the fixtures in custom aluminum and plexiglas waterlight housings that
yield the soft output Litepanels is famous for.
Advantages For Underwater Lighting
When shooting underwater, the cameraperson and crew are working in a
three-dimensional water column. Depending on the scene or the subject,
the camera and lighting are usually in constant motion trying to get the
shot. The tools needed to successfully shoot underwater have to be
lightweight and easy to maneuver. The SeaSun lighting fixtures have been
designed to be as close to neutrally buoyant as possible, allowing for
easy movement to follow the action. The are designed to be
slightly negative in buoyancy, small in size and easily handheld
underwater.
Less Energy Needed
Litepanels LEDs require less that
1/10th the amount of power as traditional underwater lighting sources,
which allows batteries used to power the lights to last 10-times longer
than old-style underwater fixtures. For example, using Energenizer E2
Lithium lon AA batteries, the MicroPro can run over 5hrs, and the Micro
can run almost 8 hrs. And because LEDs emit almost no heat at all, the
Litepanels SeaSuns can be removed from the water with the light still
turned on. Litepanels SeaSun fixtures are easily gelled to modify color
temperature of the light provided. Pre-cut pieces of gel material can be
carried and applied to the underwater fixture during the drive.
Outfitted for Maximum Mounting
Options
The Litepanels Micro housing comes equipped with an integrated camera
shoe featuring an adjustable tilt mechanism. To allow for multiple
configurations, it may also be mounted on the optional base plate for
off-camera usage, or on an extension arm.
