Luxli Timpani 2 Overview
The
Luxli Timpani² 1x1 RGBAW LED Light is an exciting and noteworthy addition to Luxli's Lucie Award-winning Orchestra series of lights. Like the original Timpani LED light, the Timpani² is precisely manufactured to Luxli's exact specifications in Norway, and each light comes with its own individual photometrics chart that clearly displays the light's accuracy, consistency, and brightness.
The Timpani² features a highly accurate and versatile RGBAW LED panel that supports Bluetooth 5. Five lighting modes offer precise illumination for any situation. You can match any ambient lighting condition with color temperature adjustment from 2800 to 10,000K, and it also puts nearly every hue of the visible spectrum at your fingertips. Choose from 150 colored filters or 10 customizable animated effects. The new High Frame Rate (HFR) mode eliminates banding and flicker when shooting at high frame rates.
The Timpani² features a simple and intuitive on-unit LCD interface for direct control. When connecting to the unit via the Composer mobile app, you'll gain access to even more powerful features, including responsive group control, lighting animation effects, eyedropper color selection, and mode sequencing. Whichever way you choose to play the Timpani², the Luxli Orchestra series will illuminate your creative vision with endless possibilities.
The 784 5-die LEDs are set in a true 1x1 (12 x 12") panel.
Wireless Control with the Composer Bluetooth App
Install Luxli's Composer app on your mobile device and explore incredible lighting effects via Bluetooth 5. Illuminate your subject with any hue of light you can imagine and modify it with any one of the 150 digital filters. Use the eyedropper feature to match any color within an image or video. And create unique animated lighting effects. Use the Composer app to wirelessly combine and synchronize multiple Luxli Orchestra units.
Intuitive On-Unit Interface with LCD Display
The built-in LCD display offers a simple and intuitive interface that you'll pick up immediately. The Timpani² is designed with videographers and photographers in mind, so making adjustments to your light won't interrupt your workflow. Adjusting brightness and color, and switching between modes just takes only the touch of a button.
The Timpani² weighs 9 lb, and has an integrated carry handle, so it's easy to transport and store. Its passive cooling system with redesigned heat sinks make the Timpani² whisper-quiet, so your microphones won't pick up any fan noise when you're shooting dialog.
An updated and improved removable diffuser softens, smooths, and broadens the beam to flatter your subjects with a single-shadow and diffuse and wraparound light.
When you're shooting in the field or on location, it's nice to know the Timpani² runs on V-mount battery power. The light also runs on AC power via the 4-pin XLR input. The Timpani² prioritizes the connected power sources and seamlessly switches between them. You'll have constant power for lengthy shoots without any downtime.
DMX 512 compatibility lets you control CCT, HSL, and Filter (GEL) modes in 8- and 16-bit operation modes. And with its 5-pin XLR I/O connectors, you can daisy-chain your lights in a multi-light setup and join any lighting grid.
The Timpani² includes a sturdy all-metal yoke with a 5/8" receiver for convenient light-stand mounting. The yoke also features tilt control and height adjustment for balancing your light.
Luxli is always working to improve the Orchestra Series LED lights. The latest firmware updates are installed in seconds via Bluetooth 5 with the Composer app.
The traditional correlated color temperature (CCT) mode allows you to accurately adjust your color temperature from 2800 to 10,000K in 50K increments with incredible accuracy. This lets you emulate any lighting condition from the cool hues of bright sunlight to the warmth of a tungsten bulb. The 5-die LEDs provide a maximum output of 6600 Lux at 3' that's stable from 2800 to 10,000K.
One of the great innovations of the Luxli Orchestra family of lights is the HSL color mode. Dial-up almost any hue by scrolling through the entire color spectrum in 1° increments, and adjust the saturation as well as the base white point. You don't have to settle for "close enough" when you can set the precise hue you need.
The Timpani² is loaded with 150 digital gel filters. Filter mode allows you to adjust the color temperature setting in 50K increments and apply any of the colored gels. It's as accurate as putting a gel in front of the actual light. Thanks to filter mode, you don't have to bring your gels with you to your shoot
The Timpani² has ten preprogrammed effects with adjustable parameters for incredibly realistic lighting effects. Recreate exciting cinematic effects like the light from fireworks, a police car's flashing lights, or a campfire in a mild breeze, without extra gear. Adjustable parameters let you customize each effect to your specific needs.
High Frame Rate (HFR) Mode
Luxli introduces HFR mode with the Timpani² so videographers can shoot at high frame rates without unwanted banding. HFR mode sets one of the five diodes to remain constantly on, so you don't have to stop to calculate frame rates when you're trying to capture that perfect slow-motion shot.
The Timpani² boasts the advanced CIE XY mode that's accessed via the Composer app. Input the exact coordinates along the X and Y axes of the CIE 1931 color space for color matching other lighting fixtures with incredible accuracy.
