(Digital Photography Review)

Elinchrom has launched its new ELM8, a continuous LED light that it claims is the `most portable, powerful and progressive modular system´ of its kind. The ELM8 was made in partnership with LED light manufacturer Light & Motion and is fully integrated with Elinchrom`s existing lighting system. The ELM8 is battery-powered and compact, measuring 20.5 x 9.6 x 9.6cm (8 x 3.7 x 3.7in) and weighing only 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs). When fully charged, Elinchrom says the light can run for between 50 and 245 minutes (around 4 hours) before needing recharged, a process that takes two hours. The ELM8`s specifications include: CRI: 93 TLCI: 94 Color Temp: 5600 K LUX: 16320 (at 1m w/Fresnel) Light Output: 8000 Lumens Native Beam Angle: 120° Water Resistance: IP54 Impact Resistance: 1m (3.2ft) Charge Time: 2hrs Radio Control: Skyport Protocol Distance Range: up to 100m Skyport: 20 Frequencies / 4 Groups Phottix: Phottix Odin II Transmitter Elinchrom has a number of accessories that work with the ELM8, including multiple reflectors, diffusers, the company`s micro USB charger kit and a remote control.
