Houston, Texas-based Ikan International Corp.introduces new Piatto Lights with edge-lit LED technology.
Houston, Texas – December 19, 2014
Ikan introduces the new Piatto Lights with edge lit LED technology. “I never would have guessed that the Piatto’s would work this well while designing them,” said Barry Garcia, Lighting Product Manager at Ikan. “The finished lights exceeded all of my expectations and have created a greater response and reaction than any other light I have ever released. We have had inquiries from lighting professionals from all levels of the industry. ASC members, broadcast professionals, indie filmmakers and even still photographers have all expressed a love of the Piatto’s”
The 4 sizes and 2 shapes (round and rectangular) of the Piatto lights deliver a beautiful, even, soft light. Using edge-lit LED technology the Piatto’s envelop your subject in a light that is flattering to your talent, giving them a feeling that you have their best interests at heart thereby allowing them to be at their best. Traditional LEDS are arranged in arrays that inherently create the phenomenon of microshadows. In this design each individual LED creates its own shadow that can show up as a pattern on the subject or anywhere within the frame. Edge-lit LED technology eliminates the microshadows. You can create a soft, smooth transition from light to shadow making it perfect for beauty shots, close-ups or any shot requiring an accent light. The lights are designed in an ultra slim aluminum casing with a thickness of just over one inch.
