K5600 Launches Two Major Products

addition to their
range of Alphas.
Today's high ISO
cameras have
unquestionably
changed the
production
lighting lists.
Even though
c o u n t e r
balancing the
sun remains a
task best left
to 18Ks, the "big"
lights are scaling
down and in many
cases we see 4Ks
doing the work of 12Ks.
K5600 Lighting chose
a 450 mm Fresnel lens
allowing a 10° to 60° clean
controllable beam. As always with
the Alpha family, the Fresnel lens
is removable, creating an 80° (half
angle) even beam which produces
hard shadows.
Using the same Quartz reﬂector as
the Alphas 18, 4, and 1600, K5600's

ballast
has also
undergone
weight
a n d
volume
finessing to
match the
compact and
lightweight
p a c k a g e
the Alpha 9K was
designed to be.
The space-saving 9 Kw
ballast weighs less than 25
Kg. It can be operated at 100Hz,
300Hz, and 1000Hz and as an
added incentive - the 9kW ballast
can power 2.5K, 4K, and 6K.
Gone are the days of manually
ﬁne-tuning output frequency, the
9kW ballast has a built-in Auto

Scan function which corrects the
frequency to ensure a problem-free
shoot at any speed.
The Evolution Kit: K5600 has
always designed lights which
offer unsurpassed versatility. The
Evolution kit consists of a new Alpha
200 W and a new Joker Bug 200
Evolution head. Both ﬁxtures are
designed to use either
a 5600K or 3200K
bulb newlydeveloped
by SLI.
This twolight kit is
designed to
provide
for any
situation
w h e r e
a choice of
accessories is
possible with
both lights. The
Alpha 200W is
configured with a
removable Fresnel lens,
which produces the classic light
quality expected of Fresnels.
With the Fresnel lens

removed, the Alpha 200W displays
its unique Open Face conﬁguration
which is perfect for creating hard
shadows. The quick and easy setup
of an accessory turns the Alpha
200W into a precise proﬁle light for
projecting gobos.
The Joker 200 Evolution makes
use of all the existing accessories
of the Joker family, including
Lightbanks, Lanterns, and Softubes.
Seeking to introduce the
infinite possibilities of
the Alpha and Joker
Bug model lines to a
broader user base,
K5600 targeted a
competitively low
price point early in
the design stages
of this kit. However,
no compromise
was taken on the
quality and reliability
of the system.

a new Alpha 200 W and a new
