IBC 2016 – FXLION 48V Skypower Battery Output Adapter and Charger

FXLION were showcasing a new 48V Skypower Battery Output Adapter and Charger at the IBC Show in Amsterdam. The PL-4DC48S is specifically designed to remote power high power draw lights such as the Arri SC60 SkyPanel. Using a 48V 10A power design the Skypower can supply up to 480W when using four high capacity v-lock batteries.

Arri does offer a two battery v-lock battery plate for their SkyPanel SC60, but that only allows the light to be run at 50% brightness. The Skypower can run the SC60 at full power. The adapter/charger could run two 12V LED panel lights and one 48V LED light at the same time, which makes it extremely versatile.

The Skypower also allows you to hot swap batteries while still running lights at their maximum brightness. When your not running the unit to power lights, you can re-charge up to four v-lock batteries simultaneously. There is a built in working status indicator and circuit protection for each channel.

The Skypower looks to be a great solution for news crews and broadcasters who need to run a high draw light source on location without having to resort to finding main power or using a noisy generator. The Skypower will be available soon for between $600-$800 US.
