First I stopped by the
Coemar booth and saw the
Reflection LEDko. Interesting microlens setup and a pretty cool feature where they have a
hertz generator to get the
fixture to match camera refresh rate.

Then we went to
The Light Source to see this
led source4 mod we'd been hearing about. We talked to the inventor, who, by the way, came up with this LAST FRIDAY.
He took his 100
watt led chip, and created a glass collimator that makes the light seem like a
single
point source. Output is about the same as a 575
watt lamp. The really cool part is that you can fit the light engine to a source4
lens tube, or take it off and put on a
Fresnel lens. He's also got plans for additional lenses to added on. One of the neatest things he told us about is his connection
system that will allow you to
switch lenses back and forth with less than 1/1000th of an inch
shift in focus accuracy. He also has developed a method for sorting the individual LEDs from the batches for variance and then putting them onto a chip with an averaged Kelvin of either 3200 or 5600.
Estimated street price for the "Retro series" is $2500.
