CLASSIC SIZE - NEO CONTROL

Many dedolight users are most familiar with the "classic" DLH4 tungsten focusing light heads. The DLH4 model has a rich history of lighting the most famous of performers, the most intimate of scenes and the highest levels of creative content. Known for its hyper beam control and beam qualities, there was never a competitor in its class. The DLED4N and DLED7N dedolight NEO light heads are the LED version of the DLH4. In the universe of dedolight NEO models, we consider these to be medium sized between the small 2/3 and the large 9 units. In form, the light models share the same housing and can be carried like a small football in the hand. Between bi-color and mono-color light models, and use of the common DTneo ballasts, they can now be mixed and matched for different purposes. Since they share the same M-Size accessories, it would also make sense to put them in a kit together as siblings. So what is the difference between them? Let's get into it:

Both the DLED9N and DLED7N light heads share the same power rating (80w max) and operate with DTneo or DTneo+ ballasts. The DLED7N packs the same size diode COB into a smaller housing. While this makes the light very popular due its size and form, the DLED7N beam ratios, 50°- 8° (1:7 light ratio), are smaller than the larger DLED9N 50°- 4° ranges (1:12 light ratio). The DLED9N is about three times larger (8.2 lbs), moving into the A-size optical accessory size. Larger optics on the light and the accessories makes for more robust beams; In flood the DLED9N has about a stop more light, and in spot about two stops more output (and twice as tight). The DLED9N is also a silent, passively cooled light head as opposed to the extremely quiet, actively cooled DLED7N models.
