BVE 2016: F&V diffuser turns ring light into a portable space light

At the BVE show, F&V were demonstrating a new diffuser for their 720-series LED ring lights. It creates a wonderfully soft overhead lighting effect – all you do is add the simple, yet effective diffuser to your ring light. The 720-series ring lights are available in both the higher-end Ultracolor and standard versions, and in both bi-colour and daylight versions.

The F&V ring light transformed using the new diffuser.

Because the ring light is fairly lightweight and can be run from Sony NP type batteries, it makes the whole setup easy to support and place on set. No pricing was given, but it should be fairly affordable.

The 720-series ringlight is available in several different versions.
