Anton Bauer ULTRALIGHT
 
Anton Bauer UL2-20

Anton/Bauer Ultralight is the first and only camera mounted light designed specifically to work with any available light to create truly studio quality images.  Virtually all interior locations are lit totally from above which creates objectionable shadows on the foreground subjects making it impossible to achieve professional quality video. Studio lighting, on the other hand, is a careful blend of light from above and light from the front that eliminates these shadows. The unique and innovative design features of the Ultralight create studio quality images under virtually all available light conditions.  Equally impressive to the cameraman, the Ultralight achieves this vast improvement in visual quality without adding any perceptible weight, bulk, or external cables.
Ultralight 2
The Ultralight 2 is designed specifically for camera mounting. This compact super-lightweight (only 10 oz.) version of the Anton/Bauer Ultralight system shares many of the features and accessories of the original Ultralight. A patented universal mounting system for 1/4-20 or shoe-type mounting is standard - eliminating the need for special studs or adapters.  With the head module removed, the Ultralight 2 can be folded into itself like a pocket knife and practically disappears into the camera handle. Thus, unlike any other light, the Ultralight 2 can remain mounted and connected to the camera at all times, even when the camera is in the case. The integral PowerTap cable plugs directly into the PowerTap receptacle on all Gold Mounts and is available in three lengths as indicated below. The Ultralight 2 comes complete with universal mounting system, one head module, one BAB bulb (25 watt Flood), and integral PowerTap cable.

Anton Bauer ULTRALIGHT Ultra DAY light

The UltraDAYlight is the latest addition to the studio quality Ultralight system.  The high efficiency of HMI lighting can be added to any Ultralight 2 system by simply changing head modules - a patented Ultralight 2 exclusive.

The UltraDAYlight head module delivers 56OOK light at less than half the power required of tungsten/halogen - without the need for dichroic adaptors.  Uniquely designed to share power from camera battery using the PowerTap on every camera Gold Mount.

Instantly change from daylight to tungsten and back by swapping head modules - no twisting, turning or handling of bulbs.  And since the rugged Ultralight head modules house and protect the bulbs, they can be stored in the head module until next use.

The UltraDAYlight head module is a unit - 25 watt bulb and ballast all in one.  Perfect for daylight fill situations, the UltraDAYlight can be converted to tungsten with the UL-GF and UL-GELKIT (not included).

UltraDAYlight also features a unique color temperature adjustment which allows the ballast to adjust the color temperature of the light, compensating for bulb variations and aging.

Specifications: 5600K nominal color temperature
350 footcandles at 3 ft (1m), 25 watt ballast.

UltraDAYlight- head module size: 5.60" x 2.62" x 2.22" (14.22 x 5.92 x 6.65cm), weight: 13oz., (380g)

ULTRALIGHT SPARE HEAD MODULES    backtotop_button
