LED Technology Spotlight: Litepanels Sola 12™

The performance of a large Fresnel — with the advantages of LED technology

The Sola 12 LED Fresnel fixture offers a powerful output of daylight balanced illumination
approaching that of a traditional 2K incandescent Fresnel, but with all the energy efficiencies and
cost saving benefits of Litepanels LED technology. A 12″ true Fresnel lens that emits an even
collimated light source that can be focused and controlled for maximum flexibility.

Powerful, full spectrum output

The high quality, full spectrum light produced by Litepanels’ custom built LEDs is visually accurate and
powerful. The LEDs in the Sola 12 are optimized for lighting talent, but that doesn’t limit its application.
The high output allows it to be used in full daylight exterior or interior situations to balance natural
light or it can serve as artificial sunlight sourcecoming through a window in a stage or location setting.

Broadcast and studio applications

The Sola 12 is equally at home in broadcast studios where its relative output to a 2K fixture allows
for a one-to-one replacement without changing the existing lighting plot. Its low power draw (six
Sola 12s can share a single 20 amp circuit) and reduced air conditioning needs from running cool
can create incredible and immediate savings. Additionally, the integrated DMX module in each fixture
provides unprecedented control by allowing simultaneous remote dimming and focusing. This
Litepanels proprietary feature uses the DMX512 protocol and affordable RJ45 (Ethernet) connectors
and cables that eliminate the need for expensive dimmers and a climate controlled dimmer room.

The most extensive range of LED Fresnels

In addition to the new Sola 12, the full Sola Series of LED Fresnels includes
the Sola 6 (6” lens), Sola 4 (4” lens) and the Sola ENG (3” lens).
