iSquint.net: Besides visiting with and getting my shiny new A Theatre Project book signed by Richard Pilbrow, today was another jam-packed day on the show floor. I found myself intrigued by the BrickBlaster Pro by The Black Tank. While the fixture itself has been out for awhile, it has some nice upgrades. For those unfamiliar with these little gems they are 4″ cubes that are 50w of power, and come in a variety of combinations: WNC (Warm/Neutral/Cool White, with an output of 3110 lumens), UV Blacklight (output of 6,660 mW), and RGBW (1200 lumens). 48 of them can run off of a single 20A circuit, and beam angles are quickly changed via a front lens plate. They operate flicker free, so they are great for film needs, and can be re-configured by ganging them together, and can hang via yoke or track mount. They are available individually or bundled in 2, 4, or 8 packs. The 4 and 8 packs have an option of a case, which has laser cut foam inserts for a perfect fit, and the case itself is water tight. They don’t daisy chain (they are only 4″ cubed after all!) but they pack quite a punch.

The Brickblaster pro by The Black Tank looks really awesome. I can't believe that you can run 48 of these fixtures off of one 20A circuit. It looks like they have a wide range of uses and being flicker free for use on camera is extra exciting. For a 4" cube these fixtures pack quite the punch.
I worry about the "wire free" LED fixtures though. I'd rather have the dependability of wires than worry about what batteries have what charge left. Also, constantly changing out batteries can be costly and you also have to worry about proper disposal.
On the whole I am excited to see what LEDs are bring to the lighting world!
