Storm Invests In Cameo Light F2 FC Fresnel’s

Cameo F2 FC Fresnel

We are delighted to have made a significant investment in Cameo Light’s F Series. With the arrival of the F2 FC Fresnel into our rental stock. The F2 FC offers a full colour LED Fresnel with comparable output to a 1000w Tungsten fixture. Complete with an 8 Leaf barndoor.

The Cameo F2 FC’s white tones can be precision-adjusted in CCT mode from 1,600 K to 6,500 K at a constant CRI of over 90. Perfectly adjusted to skin tones, camera sensors and ambient light via additional green-magenta correction.

RGBW colour-blending in HSI mode facilitates rapid adjustment of colour, intensity and saturation at the light desk using only three control circuits. Using additional colour filters is in the past.

The high-quality 200 mm lens creates a soft-edged beam of light, which can be manually and gradually adjusted in the 18° to 55° beam angle from spot to flood and all intermediate positions. At the same time, the integrated condenser lens provides evenly blended colours and colour shadow-free light dispersion, even when using the barndoor.
