Features
High-performance LED Video Light
HVL-LBPA Wide compatibility for flexible installation
The HVL-LBPA can be attached three ways:
1. The cold shoe achieves a good weight balance when battery adaptor is added to the rear of the HVR-V1U camera using VCT-1BP. 2. The screw bolt contained inside the attachment foot can be extended with dialing screw (circled in red) for easy connection to the screw hole. 3. The screw hole allows easy connection to a tripod, light stand, or other device that contains a standard screw in its attachment plate.
LED reliability and low power consumption
Bright daylight balanced output. Powered by a single InfoLithium battery.
The HVL-LBPA is perfect for outside shooting in shade or sunlight. Color balanced at 5500K daylight color temperature. Max. 600 lux @ 1m. Low power usage of only 16 W. NP-F970 battery provides 180 min. @ max. brightness. Over 10,000 hrs. light bulb lifetime* for heavy usage. Low heat means quick cool down and pack-up.
* This is the time when an output of radiance value is reduced by half. (The LED tested were measured under controlled conditions. Actual LED life may vary based on different operating conditions and settings.) 1. Cold shoe

2. Screw bolt

3. Screw hole
The supplied battery adapter has a tripod screw hole and strap for flexible attachment.

HVL-LBPA

LED Battery Video Light

The HVL-LBPA is a fully adjustable LED light capable of high intensity spot-lighting (600lx@1m) or uniform flood-lighting (300lx@1m) making it ideal for interviews or wide-angle shots. An attached diffuser makes it possible to soften shadows and reduce contrast as required. The HVL-LBPA is powered by existing NP-F series batteries and due to its low power consumption of 16w it can be operated for approximately 3 hours* making it a cost-effective lighting solution. The HVL-LBPA can be mounted in a variety of ways (Cold shoe/Screw bolt/Screw hole) giving real operational and creative flexibility. When attached to the cold shoe of the camcorder it is possible to use the battery adapter to achieve a good weight balance for the camcorder. * 3 hours operation using NP-F970 battery at maximum brightness
