The Mini Cine Light is a compact, versatile little LED light, which is great for a variety of applications.  It runs off of 12V AC, or DC, and comes in very high quality (95+ CRI) Daylight (5600K) and Tungsten (3200K) color temperature varieties. The bulb can be removed allowing you to use the same fixture for either color temperature and allows for future upgrades.  The light comes with barn doors, and bespoke options are available to customize the lights for any application.  These upgrades include honeycomb eggcrates, diffusers, yoke baby mounts, 1/4″-20 mounts, dome mounts (lantern), and other accessories to match your needs.

These lights work great as interior car lights, hair/separation lights, eye lights, or even as key and fill for home studio applications. They only consume 6.5 Watts, and can easily run for 16 hours off of our 12V battery pack.

I designed these lights to be compact, and functional. I use a bank of six of them on the perimeter grid in my studio to act as hair lights, and use one as an eye light. I also use one for a desk lamp and one for a tabletop gaming light, and use them mounted to my 3D printers to light up my print beds.  I use one to light my work bench, and have several in a portable light kit. I even use one with the lantern attachments for a tent light when camping.

The lights put out 450-500 lumens, which is equivalent to a 50W tungsten light.

Bulb life of up to 25,000 hours.

Bulb options are 5600K (daylight) and 3200K (tungsten).

The Color Rendering Index on these lights is up to 97 CRI (95 CRI minimum), 97 TLCI, 92 Rf and 100 Rg.

I prefer the 5600K version for studio work, because it helps reduce noise in shadows because it has more blue in the spectrum. But for desktop use, or tabletop gaming, I prefer the 3200K, which I find easier on my eyes.

You will notice that there are several versions shown in the pictures and rotating videos. These lights were meant to be bespoke or customizable light setups. One of the great advantages we have in 3D printing the lights is that we can make a lot of custom accessories without the overhead costs associated with other manufacturing processes, which means more options for you at reasonable prices.

If you primarily intend to use a light with an eggcrate, however you also want to use barndoors with this setup, and want to be able to close the barndors over the eggcrate for travel, you can do that with the extra deep barndoors. Don’t think you’ll need that? Cool, but I did, so I designed it.

If you just want a cool, minimalist desklamp, with some control, but don’t need the bulk of barndoors?  We got you covered, get the eggcrate with the eggcrate retention ring.  I love this setup, as it gives you a bright center spot, with a nice falloff. We also use this setup for lighting our tabletop games. If you want a larger area of exposure, use our 90° Eggcrate.

 

The articulated arm mount version attaches to 1/4″ 20 threading, with an adapter for either male or female connectivity. It also comes with a male baby mount connector which allows it to be attached to female baby mounts, or Gobo Heads.

The 45 Degree Yoke mount is a more standard mount, with a female baby mount for attacking to a light stand or C-Stand, but the threading for the knob is 1/4″ 20 allowing you to remove the knob and invert the mount so you can attach to any 1/4″ 20 standard threaded screw, fro use with things like standard tripod heads. This configuration is also ideal for desktop setups, because the light can face almost directly down, with a minimal offset, to help keep the weight over the light stand as much as possible.
