The Difference Dracast products are trusted by a wide variety of filmmakers, photographers, studios, and other major companies for their lighting equipment needs. This is because our customers know that we put extra time and effort into every detail that make Dracast the best pro grade LED lights available. From a simple three-light location shooting kit to a complex studio grid for a major professional-grade television production company, there s a Dracast light built for indoor and outdoor, stage and studio shooting alike. 95 CRI Color Rendering Index (CRI) is the single most important factor in selecting LED lighting. The higher the CRI, the more accurate the color output will be to both your eye and your camera. The more accurate the color output, the better the quality of the picture will be. Many LED lights perform in between the 75-90 CRI range, which can project imperfections that your eye might miss, but your camera won t. Dracast LED lights have a consistent CRI rating of 95 or greater on a scale of 100 for the purest light source and are best suited for high definitiion and 4K film and photo production. Dracast only uses the top 5% of LED bulbs produced to build powerful yet efficient lighting panels. CONSISTENT COLOR Dracast LED lights are not just color-accurate, but also the most consistent LED options available. Our R&D team at Dracast has painstakingly eliminated the notorious green and magento color spikes in even the most intensive testing. Even when Draast lights are needed for extensive periods of time, you can count on consistent, accurate color for hours on end and over the lifetime of your fixture. EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY There are many options out there that may look like a Dracast light, but that s about where the similarities end. Our lights begin with an all-aluminum chassis, making them a far superior choice when choosing a light for travel or on-location projects. We took this a step further and added a rugged blue anodized aluminum frame for further protection from everyday bangs and bumps. Add to this our lightweight, aluminum mounting yoke, and professional-grade components, and it makes Dracast a much different pedigree of LED light. Finally, there s our Dracast LED board, containing more than twice the number of grade-a bulbs than our competitors. Go ahead, do a side-by-side test.
