STAND-MOUNTED LIGHT PANEL FOR NATURAL ILLUMINATION IN FILM, TELEVISION OR VIDEO
First Claim
1. An apparatus for illuminating a subject for film, photography or video, the apparatus comprising:
- a frame having a front;
a plurality of semiconductor light elements disposed on the front of the frame and configured to provide a continuous source of illumination, said semiconductor light elements having a color temperature suitable for image capture, at least one of said semiconductor light elements individually emitting light in a daylight color temperature range or a tungsten color temperature range; and
a dimmer whereby an illumination intensity of said semiconductor light elements may be user adjusted;
wherein said frame is adapted for being mounted to and readily disengaged from a stand.

Abstract
A lighting apparatus comprises a light panel having a panel frame, and a plurality of LEDs or other light elements secured to the panel frame. A self-contained battery unit securably attaches to the outside of the panel frame. The light panel may have a dimmer switch, and may also be capable of receiving power from a source other than the self-contained battery unit. The lighting apparatus can be mounted to a camera or a stand through adapters. Diffusion lenses or color gels can be integrated with or detachable from the light panel. The lighting apparatus may conveniently be provided in the form of a kit, with one or more of a light panel, self-contained battery unit, compact stand, connecting cable(s), adapter(s), lenses or color gels, and so on, provided in a single package.
