General Features:
JAPANESE SMD LEDs
We have used Japanese SMD LEDs in order to build high quality LED Lights with CRI of 95 for Cinema
productions.*
LOW HEAT
SMD LEDs cannot be easily overheated so you can use them in harsh environments with high
temperatures.
VERY POWERFUL
We have chosen powerful and efficient SMD LEDs. That’s why TRE-D LED lights have more lighting
intensity with much less power consumption comparing to common LED lights.
120° LIGHT BEAM
We have selected SMD LEDs with 120° light beam for more light coverage and efficiency than common
60° or 45° LED lights. TRE-D LED lights allow you to come closer to your subject which results to more
lighting intensity with no dark spots.

PC-BOARD
For more lighting efficiency we have used high quality LED PC-Boards with advanced electronic circuits.
Extra holes on the PC-Board are used for better cooling.
BODY
Our Light bodies are made of high quality lightweight aluminum. We have used this material for better
cooling and durability.
HEAT SINK
We have used specially designed 150mm and 104mm high quality lightweight aluminum heat sinks
which are connected directly to the aluminum body of the LED light. Heat sink and LED light, as one
body, let the heat pass to the environment much easier.
SILENT OPERATION
TRE-D LED lights have silent operation as they don’t need any fans for cooling. Moreover, the high
quality electronic circuit of the Dimmer does not cause any electromagnetic interference to wireless
audio and video systems. So, they are ideal for interviews and conferences.
LIGHTWEIGHT
Our LED lights are very light and portable. We have used Lightweight and durable materials such as
Aluminum and Copper. TRE-D lights weigh less than half of the common LED1000 panels.
7-16V DC INPUT
Our LED Lights accept 7-16V DC input Voltage. In that way you can use all kind of Professional Batteries.
Such as 14.8V V-Lock and G-Lock Batteries, 7.2V NP-F batteries and all kinds of 12V input sources.
4-PIN XLR
We have chosen the professional 4-pin XLR connector. By using this connector you can connect many
input sources to power on our LED lights.
POWER ADAPTERS
You can connect many kinds of power adapters to the 4-pin XLR Connector. We supply adapters for
Dual or single 7.2V NP-F batteries and adapters for 14.8V V-Lock Batteries. Also, we supply D-TAP
power adapter in order to use V-Lock or G-Lock batteries directly, without the need of expensive battery
plates.
POWER SUPPLIER
You can even use TRE-D power supplier to power TRE-D LED lights from AC plug. It is a Class-I adapter
with grounding for overvoltage protection.
PROTECTION
The Dimmer of our LED lights has an electronic circuit which protects the light from sources with
opposite polarity. So, when you put sources with opposite polarity the light will just not power on
without causing any kind of damage.

POWER BOOST
The Dimmer has a Boost switch for extra lighting intensity. When BOOST is enabled you get the most
from your TRE-D LED light. When BOOST is disabled there is less power consumption and you get more
operating hours. This is important, especially for smaller batteries.
BICOLOR COOL WARM
We have full range of LED Lights. Bicolor, Cool and Warm Lights. With Bicolor light you can change the
color temperature from warm to cool by using our advanced dimmer. For cool or Warm lights you can
use the TRE-D color filters.
2 MODES
Dimmers of the Bicolor LED lights usually have 2 controllers. The first one controls the color temperature
and the second one the lighting intensity. Some other dimmers have the first controller to adjust the
intensity of the warm lighting and the second one to adjust the intensity of the cool lighting. We have
both modes in one dimmer! You can choose which mode you want to use with just a push of a button.
FLICKER FREE
Our LED Lights are flicker-free. We have used a Cinema slow motion camera and tests were made in all
steps of shutter speed up to 1/10000 and all steps of frame rate up to 800fps!
STABLE LIGHTING
We have used an advanced electronic circuit in order to protect the LED light from power drops. So,
even when the Voltage of the battery is dropping, the lighting intensity remains the same until the
battery runs out.
MOUNTS
We supply clamps in order to attach the power adapters and the dimmer on light stands. The LED light
body has a yoke metal base that is easily attached to a 16mm spigot.
1/4” THREADS
We have used 1/4” threads to most of our power adapters and our dimmer. So you can easily attach
them on tripods, mounts or brackets. TRE-D clamps are ideal for attaching power adapters and dimmers
on light stands.
3.5M CABLE
Most of the dimmers are placed in the light body, which makes the access to the controls impossible,
when a 3.5m light tripod is used. Our dimmer is placed on the cable which has 3.5m total length.
Measuring from the light body to the dimmer, cable length is 2m. So, the dimmer will be at 1.5m height
when a 3.5m tripod is used. TRE-D power supplier is equipped with an extra 1.5m cable.
BARNDOORS-SOFTBOXES
We build high quality 4-leaf barndoors and softboxes with metal mounting. They are attached directly
on the light body. Also we can supply diffuser, warm and cool acrylic filters for our LED lights.

How to use:
Step.1
When you unbox the light you should find:
- The light body
- 3.5m cable with 4-pin XLR connector.
- Dimmer
- Power supplier (it is not included in bulk version)
Step.2
Put the power supplier in the AC Plug and connect the female 4-pin XLR connector to the male 4-pin
XLR connector of the LED light. The small led light of the power supplier should turn red.
Step.3
Turn on the light by pressing the ON/OFF switch. See diagram No.1.
Step.4 (Mode Selection is available only for the bicolor lights)
You should select the mode that you want to use. See diagram No.3.
Mode I:
When Mode I is selected you should always check the left side of the label on the dimmer. See diagram
No.2. The top potentiometer controls the lighting intensity and the bottom one the color temperature.
Mode II:
When Mode II is selected you should always check the right side of the label on the dimmer. See
diagram No.2. The top potentiometer controls the intensity of the warm lighting and the bottom one
the intensity of the cool lighting.
For non-bicolor lights (warm and cool lights) the bottom potentiometer controls the lighting intensity.
There is no mode selection. See diagram No.4
Step.5
You can enable or disable the power boost switch. If you are using a small battery then we recommend
you to disable it for extra operating time. If you have bigger batteries or power supplier you can enable
it for extra lighting intensity! See diagram No.1. Check specifications below to see the lighting intensity
and power consumption when boost is enabled.

Warnings & Precautions:
1. Unplug the LED light from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid. Use only cloth for
cleaning.
2. If any kind of liquid drops in to the LED light you should unplug the light immediately.
3. The Temperature of the LED components might reach 100°C. You should not touch the LED
components during operation. It may harm you.
4. You should not look directly to the LED lights. It may harm your eyes.
5. The operating temperature of the LED light is 0° up to 40° Celsius. If you use the light in very low or
high temperatures it will make severe damage to the LED light. Warranty is void under improper usage.
6. You should always use 100-240V 50/60HZ appropriate European wall outlet for the TRE-D power
supplier. If the wall outlet is not proper there will be voltage drop which results to LED light damage.
7. You should not try to open the LED light body, the dimmer or the power supplier. It may harm you.
Warranty is void if you try to open the LED light body or any other component.
8. You should not pull the cable of the power supplier or of the dimmer. Cables might be destroyed
which results to LED light damage. If cable is destroyed you should unplug the light immediately
because it may harm you. Warranty is void when cables are destroyed.
