Roto LED

PostThu Apr 25, 2013 7:09 pm

Hi.

I wonder if anyone has seen those in action ?

Specially if anyone could compare those with Arri L7.

I generally love the design more than arri but i have some doubts.

I cannot see any CRI rating for the light, LED's have notoriously poor CRI ratings.

It seems they are 92 and more

Do not remember how much Arri L7 was. .... Ok some 94/95 depending on model.

So there is some difference.

Tedo says that non are above 80 but go figure.

Tungsten/halogen can be 100, HMI can be 95+

HMI also spikes by some sources so go figure.

I have not tested them but i'm leaning to Roto or Arri for now.

Sure some phosphor front plate models would be nicer but for now
they have ridiculous price.
