Chimera Octaplus 5 7:
Chimera Octaplus 5 7 foot options for light banks offer broad and beautiful light while offering immense versatility. OctaPlus lightbanks are offered in standard heat version for strobe, and high-heat for continuous light. Chimera’s OctaPlus 5 Light Bank is compatible with most fixtures supported by Chimera’s extensive line of OctaPlus speed rings. We recommend using fixtures with fully exposed, bare, or “bug” style bulbs, or fixtures with wide output, such as open faces. Chimera’s OctaPlus family of octagonal Light banks have a patent pending design that allows conversion of this 5-foot Light bank to the OctaPlus 7-foot Light bank in just a few minutes, with no tools, with the included conversion kit. This unique design gives you two Light banks in one. These project light from a soft silver interior with an innovative graduated baffle for very even spread. Fall off from the center of the 7 foot front screen to the edge has been measured at only a 0.2 F-stop. The whole Chimera OctaPlus family is compatible with strobes or continuous light sources. When used as a 5 ft bank, it will tolerate up to 1200 watts. When used as a 7 ft bank, 2000 watts is the limit. This light bank requires a speed ring to adapt it to your particular strobe or hot light. A 3770 stand adapter or other model stand adapter is also recommended for this model, so the weight of the light bank is not supported by the fixture.
