ARRI is really proud of this line, and after using one, we can’t help but agree! They have done their best to make sure that these LED lights are as close as possible to traditional Fresnel fixtures in both function and performance. The L7-C delivers the same clear, defined shadows that you would expect in a traditional tungsten or daylight fixture. It also has a few new advantages over previous Fresnel technologies such as the ability to change the temperature of the light from 2,700K to 10,000K with the turn of a dial. You can also make the light virtually any color, eliminating the need for gels.
The L7-C may be the most impressive LED light out on the market so far. Though it may currently be out of budget for some indie projects, the amount of time it can save really adds up. We believe studios are going to replace old lighting equipment with these soon as they probably have the most to gain. The lights use 75% less power than an equivalent tungsten light and also put off limited heat in comparison. That could lead to huge savings in electricity bills.
