INTRODUCTION General Description: ΜΖ-Lighting SMD LED Lights are products of high quality for Film and Video/Photo productions. Materials: SMD LEDs are made in Japan. All Rest Materials are made in Europe. Assembling takes place in Greece. Warranty: All our products have 2 years Warranty. We have all spare parts and products in stock for immediate repair or exchange.
GENERAL FEATURES JAPANESE SMD LEDs We are using Japanese SMD LEDs in order to build high quality LED Lights with CRI 97 or Extended CRI 95 for Film and Video productions. LOW HEAT SMD LEDs cannot be easily overheated so you can use them in harsh environments with high temperatures.
PC-BOARD For more lighting efficiency we have used high quality dual layer Aluminum PC-Boards with advanced electronic circuits. Extra holes on the PC-Board are used for better cooling. BODY Light bodies and dimmer cases are made of lightweight aluminum for the best possible cooling and durability.
MZ-Glock-Dual-29.6V for two Panasonic Glock type Batteries. This adapter is equipped with D-Tap output and XLR 4-pin Female Connector 28-33.6V DC output. It can be used only for the MZ-LED884 LED lights. POWER SUPPLIER You can even use the high quality MZ power supplier units to giver power to your LED lights from AC plug.
