Kino Flo BarFly Softlights Create Industry Buzz

BURBANK, Calif. – Kino Flo has released a new line of wafer-thin, high output soft lights small enough of it in the palm of your hand but bright enough to light a sound stage.

The BarFly® fixtures are available for sale in two slender models: the BarFly 200 (two tubes), and BarFly 100 (a single tube). The BarFly 400 will go on sale in spring of 2007. The BarFly’s operate very much like the Academy Award winning portable 4banks, doubles and singles: they have remote, select high output ballasts and slim, lightweight heads that can work in tight locations where larger, hotter conventional fixtures don’t dare to tread. The difference really is in size and shape.

The BarFly’s are only about an inch thick and comes with metal, rather than poly-shell designs. A four-tube BarFly 400, for example, looks like a flat panel computer monitor. The 400 measures about 12 inches by 12 inches, but puts out almost as much light as it larger 4ft 4Bank cousin.

Currently, the BarFly family is most at home on location and studio sets for television and feature film production, but many in the electronic field production and ENG community have discovered it for a small, two point or three point lighting kit to complement such popular location lighting instruments as the Kino Flo Diva-Lite® 400 and Diva-Lite® 200.

Kino Flo has developed new, high color rendering (CRI 95), high-output quad tubes for the BarFly fixtures. They are the first of their kind in the television or motion picture professional lighting industries, and come in True Match® daylight and TrueMatch® tungsten balanced styles.
