Ikan Bendable LEDs Offer Creative Lighting Choices for Photographers

Canvas Full Color Bendable LED Panel with Tuneable RGBWA Color Control
Looking at Ikan’s new bendable CC8 light panel, I couldn’t help but hear the lyrics from 60’s rock group The American Breed, “bend me, shape me, anyway you want me, you got the power to turn on the light.” In terms of power, the CC8 puts out an impressive 300-watt equivalent of beautiful soft incandescent light.
Photographers and cinematographers alike will appreciate the wide variety of lighting options available in such a compact and versatile package. Thanks to its small size, lightweight body, and mounting design—the CC8 is your go to light for shooting in tight spaces. The CC8 controller provides users with complete control over color temperature and brightness.
The Ikan CC8 features:
Lightweight bendable fabric LEDs
Color Accuracy CRI 95 TLCI 96
Full RGB color control
Bi-Color adjustable from 2800 to 10,000K
Beam angle of 120-degrees without soft box
X-Holder mount with 5/8” receiver
Baby pin mount with 90-degree receiver hole
Controller with 6’ extension cable for adjusting color, brightness
Can be powered by V-mount batteries
Soft box and egg crate included
Equivalent to 300-watts soft incandescent light
Maximum power draw 24W at 120V
The addition of the 120-degree soft box helps concentrate and direct light toward the subject. With or without the soft box, the Canvas LED creates a soft and flattering light. And the X-Holder mounts’ 5/8 receiver, and the Baby Pin Mount provide the required rigidity.
Available accessories include the following:
IBG-SB15 15 lb saddle sandbag and weight bag
HD-STND-V2 heavy-duty light stand
PWRGP-01 Power Grip for professional batteries
CP-STND-V3 compact version 3 light stand
With the Ikan CC8 bendable light, you get the power to turn on the light!
