LED1000Bi II features 1024 LEDs evenly split between daylight (5600K) and tungsten (3300K) and outputs 2600-4800 lux at 3.3′ depending on the temperature settings. The new models have an improved brightness of up to 23% compared to the previous generation (max 4400 Lux at 3.3′).
Dimming settings range from 0% all the way up to 100%, and can be adjusted on the on-board LCD via two buttons and a dial, with an included 433 MHz wireless remote that works at distances of up to 20m/65.6′, or via the DMX controller.
