Recognized worldwide by several technical Academy Awards, controlling light with lenses is what dedolight does best. Appreciative of other current popular light styles, for the first time dedolight has designed and manufactures high performance optics for another brands like Apurture and Prolycht with Bowens mounts.
If you wish to get more output from your Bowens mount light in the smallest possible foot-print, the dedolight Parallel Beam Intensifier lens is a great choice. Using Prolycht as an example, at 2 meters (5600K) the 675 FS with the DPBA-14-B boasts 5600 fc in a 14º beam. The Orion 300 FS boasts 3700 fc in a 17º beam also from 2 meters. Dedolight Parallel Beam Intensifiers are built to deliver a spotty punch, recommended for use with bounce boards or a reflector systems like dedolight Lightstream. For more direct use it is recommended you use the honeycomb to clean up the outside of the beam (varying degrees of beams from different models). If your are a user of Lightstream reflectors and have used a Beam Intensifier on a dedolight, you get a pretty good idea of what this intensifier brings to Bowens mount lights like Apurture and Prolycht.
Prolycht, and now Aputure has improved the Bowens mount with the "ProLock" positive-locking mechanism which is perfect with these high-end optics. This modified mount does not have any play so that the front-end accessories stay perfectly in place and do not droop nor wobble. This ensures that the optical center of Dedo's accessories remain precisely in line with the COB light source.
An optional honeycomb attachment (DPBA-14HON) can be added to clean up minor spill light.
