The upgraded Sola ENG operates on battery or AC power thanks to a new AC/DC adapter, and the Sola ENG Kit includes a detachable D-Tap power cable and Stand Adapter Bracket, making the fixture easy to mount on either a camera or light stand. Litepanels’ daylight-balanced Sola fixtures provide great controllability and light-shaping properties, including variable beam control from 10-70 degrees while utilizing just a fraction of the power of stan-

dard fixtures. Employing a 3" proprietary Fresnel lens, the Sola ENG draws just 30 watts but produces light levels equivalent to a 250-watt tungsten unit. Sola Fresnels feature instant dimming from 0-100 percent with no noticeable color shift. The Sola ENG provides ergonomic manual focus and dimming via lens-style rotating control. Output is flicker free and remains consistent even as the battery voltage goes down. The Sola ENG fixture measures 4"x4"x5" and weighs 10 ounces. The Sola ENG Kit comes with the fixture, two-leaf barn doors, three gels ( 1⁄4 correction, full correction and diffusion), an AC power supply with power cord, a Stand Adapter Bracket, a detachable D-Tap DC power cable, and a shoe-ball mount and adapter.
