Based on Gekko’s award-winning technology, kedo-sk is a single-colour Fresnel-focused hard source luminaire optimised for the requirements of image capture for both film and broadcast.

Available in either daylight (5600 kelvin) or tungsten (3200 kelvin) variants, kedo-sk produces minimal heat and is designed to work in an ambient temperature of up to 50 degrees Celsius.

Output intensity is comparable with a 1 kilowatt tungsten source. Low power consumption (180 watts) keeps heat generation to a minimum. An integral Fresnel-based optic provides a focal range of 6:1. Intensity can be controlled on the lamp itself or via DMX.

Kedo-sk fully complements Gekko’s existing range of lighting equipment. In the right environment, complete LED-based lighting setups can now be deployed, which are more energy-efficient, cooler-running, and have no requirement for consumables, whilst still being comparable to more traditional forms of lighting in terms of output.

Gekko is located at stand 11.D40 at IBC2011, Amsterdam, 9-13 September.
