Features
High color rendering index of LEDs. CRI > 90
An interchangeable head allows you to quickly replace light temperature in the flashlight. As opposed to using color filters, changing the head won’t reduce brightness and color quality. It is possible to set a shade of light more precisely.
This is one of the main differences between our device and the mass of others. We have implemented the most convenient solution that can only exist. If bitLighter is NOT connected to the mains, it is powered by a battery. If connected – it will work from the mains supply without losing brightness, meanwhile, it will charge the battery with the remaining power. If the battery is removed, bitLighter will simply work from the outlet.
Charging the battery in similar devices is often a headache. Like having to take a battery out and handle all the wires and connectors with fear of damaging the contacts. bitLighter free of these problems. Just plug the power supply into the socket on the body and the charging will begin.
A serious problem with any high-power light source is overheating. It can cause a lot of trouble, such as board burns, or “degradation” of the LED. We use an electronic sensor, which will save the flashlight from breakage in case of overheating. Such situations are not often but sometimes happen. To avoid them, we recommend you to ensure that bitLighter has free access to air from all sides.
We use carefully selected contacts and special bushings so the battery in the case is securely fixed and the contact does not disappear during sudden movements or shaking. Thanks to this, the flashlight will serve for a long time without failures.
In practice, at a small brightness, it is more difficult for the user to select the desired value, so we use a “logarithmic” regulator, that changes the brightness more smoothly at small values and more roughly at large ones.
Specifications
Comparison of similar devices by the brightness of the LED in lumens is not particularly correct, because it does not take into consideration the rest of the optical system. But we left this value, because it is already “generally accepted” for comparisons of photoflashlights. It would be more clear to measure the brightness of the spot at 1 meter distance using a luxmeter.
You can smoothly change the size of a light spot by moving the head of the flashlight. We added a special rubber seal, to make zoom more “dense”. It does not move with sudden movements or accidental touches.
Our battery has a monolithic case. From the inside it consists of three Panasonic 3400mAh elements and PCB for control.
This is significantly less than in similar devices (about 500 grams in total compared to 700-800 grams). Beside the fact that the weight of a photographer’s / videographer’s backpack becomes smaller, we noticed that such a light is often kept by an assistant, or a photographer himself on an outstretched hand. In this case, every gram is in account. Light weight was achieved mainly due to batteries. We made battery lighter, while it has enough power for 2 hours of working at full power.
This is already quite a lot, but in practice full-power is not used all the time. There are moments of preparing the frame, changing the location, etc. Therefore photo session could last much longer. But, in any case, an indicator will tell you how much charge is left.
We take care of the quality of LEDs with particular scrupulousness. The fact is that LED has no markings of color rendering index on it, so you have to believe the store that they sold you the right one. Now we buy LEDs from an authorized American supplier. The LED itself is produced by the US company CREE. For all color temperatures, we take LEDs with a CRI index of at least 90
