Hi guys, it's Rob here from Hypop at hypop.com.au.
Today we're taking a closer look at the Boling 2280
LED lighting panels.
These are our production quality premium range
of LED lighting panels.
This one in particular is the highest range in the model.
So, they come in small, medium and larger sizes.
So, the small is a 2220, the medium 2250
and the large is 2280.
So, we'll run through some of the features,
what's included and we'll do a bit of lighting tests
with the actual LV panel today.
Firstly, the LED panel itself
as you can see here it's up quite large.
The actual dimensions of the panel is 88cm in length,
22cm in width and it's about 5.5cm thick.
So, that's quite a slim light panel.
The actual panel itself is a premium quality build.
It's made from an aluminum chassis.
So, that's really great.
It's not made from plastic like some other LED panels are.
And there are quite a few features of the actual panel.
Firstly, the actual LED lights themselves.
They're 5500 Kelvin.
So, they're a true white light. And they're also CRI 95+.
So, that means the color rendering index of 95+,
the higher it is the better.
And the actual quality and the picture quality output
is a lot better in your videos and photos.
There's 1,806 individual LED lights in them
So as you can see, there's quite a few in the large panel size.
And also, it's about 12,000 lumens at one meter.
So, that's a really high output light.
Now, the great thing about having that much output
is obviously, you have step-less control.
So, on the back panel here, you have a dimmer dial
and you can just control that from 0 to 100%
which we'll run through later.
I'm just showing you a few of the different lighting tests.
But being able to control that's great if you need,
if you have a couple of the lights,
maybe you need one a little less brighter
or a little less output,
then you can adjust that obviously.
And a few things on the back panel here,
you can see there's a couple of battery mounts
and the v-mount batteries. You need two to power these.
But the great thing is obviously you can use these outdoors
and use them on location.
So, that means that when you're using them in the studio,
you just simply plug it into the AC,
mount a couple of batteries on if the shoot takes you outdoors
or on location and you're good to go.
You've got an additional lighting source
and you don't have to be inhibited
by just the ambient lighting
or the natural lighting that's around.
And lastly, obviously,
that's just the on and off button there.
So, a few of the other features of the panel,
as you can see it's on a U bracket.
So, the U brackets are really great.
It actually has its tilt function.
So, if you just loosen those knobs,
you can actually sort the bracket like so.
So, if you need to angle the bracket in a different way.
I'll show you a few different features of this U bracket.
Firstly, it is on our 2.4 m Hypop light stand.
So, as you can see here, this light stand actually
is a convertible threaded bound. So, what I mean by that
is if you actually remove this panel.
So, I just loosen up and pop this off the stand.
The stand itself has a threaded mount.
So, the threaded mount is actually convertible,
so you can mount it on the top or on the side here.
So, the side is actually perfect for this particular panel.
So, I just mount that on. Okay.
So, why it's good to have on the side
is you can actually mount your panel horizontally.
So, with this vertical yoke bar in the U bracket,
you just loosen the actual bracket
and you can slide the actual panel and the yoke bar across.
What I'll do first is I'll mount this onto the light stand.
I just flick this over. So, it's best to flick it over
so that you have the knob on the top.
So, you can adjust easily.
So, I'll just enter that on and now just slide this across.
So, just make sure you loosen these knobs completely.
When they're loosened, it's easier to slide across like so.
So, if you are in the middle there, that's nice and balanced.
And then you just tighten the knobs.
Okay.
So, now you actually got a horizontally mounted
LED panel which is a great feature.
So, you can have them obviously vertical
and not obviously horizontal here as well.
The great thing about the U bracket is
that if it's mounted on a light stand,
you can obviously reposition and direct your light as you so fit.
Or if you loosen the actual U bracket knobs,
you can also angle like so.
So, that's great until you get your correct direction
that you're after. Just simply tighten here.
And you've got a completely versatile LED lighting solution.
So, another great thing is these knobs,
if you need to tighten them further,
you lift them up and you can actually reposition like even
when they're fully tightened. They're actually knobs are here.
So, once you lift that up, you can reposition them.
So, this one here obviously, that's fully tighten here.
But if I want them to be sort of mounted perfectly,
you can just pull them out and adjust them like so.
Next, what we'll do is we'll run through what's included
in the actual LED package and then we'll run through
some of the different lighting modifiers
that you can buy as an optional accessory with the 2280.
Okay, so let's take a closer look
at what's included with their Boling 2280P panel.
Firstly, what's included is a couple of sliding diffusers.
So, this one here, they have just a sticker on it.
So, it's a simple matter of just peeling them off.
But this one here has the orange diffuser panel.
So, that roughly brings it to about 3200 Kelvin.
And there's also the white diffuser.
So, just diffuses your light
if you don't want a bare bulb directly on your subject.
So, those are great. They're a simple matter of sliding it in.
So, we actually need to do is on the side of the actual panel,
there's a couple of railings,
you just match them up to your panel
and you just slide in. So, that's nice and easy.
And then you'd obviously get a diffused light.
And what else is included is a carry bag.
So, this carrying bag is included
with every individual panel that's purchased.
You have just a small pouch pocket in the front there.
You obviously got a velcro strap carry handle here.
And we will open up the bag,
and just have a closer look to see what's inside.
So, it's just got a double zipper on the front.
It's a padded bag.
So, that's great as well. It's fully padded.
And what's inside the bag is just your power cable obviously.
So, that's really great. That's a full power pack
and it's also just the warranty card as well.
Now, what we'll look at is some of the optional accessories
that come with a Boling 2280.
So, that includes a barn doors, soft boxes
and also a horizontal yoke bar as well.
So, this is one of the optional accessories
for the Boling 2280P panel. It's a barn door.
And it's actually just similar to the diffuser panels
I showed earlier. It's a sliding barn door.
So, that's great if you need to angle your light
in different directions,
if you need a bit wider or more narrower.
The bulbs themselves are 45 degrees.
So, it's great to just adjust your light beam
via the barn door. So, that's a great feature.
Most other LED panels,
it's really hard to find optional lighting accessories,
where the Boling series of panels
actually has a variety of different lighting accessories
which I'll demonstrate.
And next we'll look at the softbox that's included.
So, this is
the optional lighting diffuser of the soft box.
So, the soft box is really great.
Until now, we haven't really seen many lighting modifiers
for continuous lighting LED solutions.
So, this is one of the first that we've actually seen.
This is also a sliding soft box
as well it matches the rails similar to the barn doors
and the soft diffuser and orange diffuser
I showed earlier. So, the actual soft box itself,
it's about the same width as the actual panel top.
So, it's about 88 cm.
It's probably about 15 cm in depth.
And it's obviously 22 cm in width.
I'll remove the front diffuser.
There you can you can see a grid.
So, this is a grid that you can obviously remove,
that's also velcro attached.
So, if you didn't want to have the grid
to direct the light a bit more narrower,
then you can obviously remove that.
And they're all just velcro attached as well.
So, that's a really great feature.
That will obviously give you
all the softer light for the LED panel
rather than a bare bulb directly on your subject.
So, that's a great optional diffuser
that's part of the Boling 2280P panel.
Next, what we'll take a look at
is another optional accessory of the yoke bar.
Okay, so we'll take a closer look
at one of the other additional accessories
before the Boling 2280P panel.
So, this is the horizontal yoke bar.
So, that means if you want to mount your actual
LED panel horizontally.
Currently, it's mounted horizontally on there
with with the U bracket as it is.
But but this one here mounts it so that
if you only have a top mounted light
stand like most light stands are,
then this is perfect for that.
So, basically that mounts on top of your light stand
and all you need to do
is unscrew the ends here of the panel.
So, there's about six screws here.
You remove the black top there
and you actually slide the bracket out.
And then what you need to do is you need to slide
the actual horizontal yoke bar on
so that you have a horizontally mounted light stand,
horizontally mounted LED panel.
So, that's a great accessory if you need to have
that permanently horizontally mounted.
Otherwise, what the best thing to do
is to just have the vertical yoke bar
here with a convertible light stand
and that way you can mount it in a variety of ways
so you can have it vertically and horizontally up too.
So, this is probably the better option.
But if you want it permanently mounted,
you go for the horizontal yoke bar.
Okay, so let's throw a quick lighting test
of the Boling 2280P panel.
Right now, it's currently on and we'll test it with the intensity
that all the step was control from 0 to 100.
And what I do now is turn off the studio lights right now,
so there's no other lights in the room.
So, I'll quickly do that.
Okay, so all the lights in the studio are off
and I'll just quickly step this up for the Boling.
So right now, using this step less dimmer
dull on the back of the panel. So, that's a 100% intensity.
So, you can see that some fairly bright.
As mentioned earlier it's 12,000 lumens at one meter.
Now, put this back a bit and reposition the light.
You can actually see the lighting up against me.
So, it's a fairly intense light as you can see.
So, it's probably best to even step that down a little bit
if I were to use this as one of the main lights for the video.
So, that's probably a little bit better
or even even a bit brighter.
So, that's just a quick lightening demonstration
of the Boling 2280P.
Okay, so that was just a quick look at the Boling 2280P panel.
They're also available in two and three
and four light configuration kits
with the optional modifiers that I demonstrated.
These are our premium range of LED lighting panels.
They are production quality, they're portable,
they're really versatile to be able to be mounted
in different variety of aspects, and they're really consistent
in terms of their lighting and power output.
