Ideal for the traveling image-maker looking for a lightweight solution with modifiers and power options, the Pocket Cannon Mini LED Daylight-Balanced Fixture from Intellytech is a 3.9 x 4.4' light source; that is a real asset in locations where larger, traditional lights just can't go. The Mini has an expansive 160º coverage that can be narrowed to 55º for accent or selective lighting.

The light's removable, four-way barndoors allow you to further control the output by swinging one or more barndoor leaves into the path of the light. Intellytech has chosen to use a circular COB LED chip, which not only boasts single-shadow performance, but it also earns a CRI/TLCI rating of 97, indicating accurate rendering of hues and colors. The 15W chip uses negligible power, while it outputs the equivalent of a 150W fixture. A dimmer knob on top of the light allows you to vary the power from 0 to 100%.

Another indication of the Pocket Cannon Mini's versatility is its power options. The light is ready for worldwide use via its 100 to 240 VAC adapter, but an included Sony NP-F550 lithium-ion battery slips into a holder at the back of the light for cord-free operation when mains power is unavailable. The battery will give you a 1.5-hour run time at full power. The light and accessories all fit in a case designed for storage and transport.
