Sparta Series
865BLED

2
Thank you for choosing Angler.
The 865BLED from Angler’s Sparta Series is a slim, lightweight, and
powerful LED fixture that will add versatility to your set. This fixture
is ideal for head shots, portraits, and interviews on small sets due to its
color accuracy and precise brightness and color temperature control.
It operates on plug-in power, but when you need to take it to a location
shoot, it also operates on two NP-F batteries.
Exact color temperature control lets you match other light fixtures or
natural daylight. Brightness is adjusted in 1% increments, so you can
dial in the exact brightness for your exposure. Included barndoors limit
direction of your beam by controlling light spill. With an additional
wireless remote (sold separately), you can control the output and color
temperature of multiple 865BLED lights as well as several lights from
Genaray.
