Broncolor has launched the new FT System, an advanced addition to the existing family of Broncolor continuous lights and Para products. The Broncolor Para is a true parabolic light bank that provides focus and the control to create a sculpted soft and beautiful effect not possible with a simple umbrella or reflector. As part of the Broncolor family, the new Para HR (Heat Resistant) reflectors support the most powerful lighting options and the new Para FT (Focusing Tube) lamphead design allows the use of HMIs, tungsten heads and strobe heads in parabolic light banks that can be setup in just minutes.The broncolor HMI FT1600 is dimmable, and provides constant colour at all times. New heat-resistant materials make it possible for both the 88 HR and 133 HR Paras to handle the high output from the new HMI 1600W FT and 2000W tungsten-halogen light sources. The new Para 88 HR and Para 133 HR kits will be available in June 2015. The complete broncolor FT System will be shipping September.

Press Release

Powerful, flexible and so simple to use... see light's best performance with the new broncolor FT System.

NAB Booth C12947 - Las Vegas, NV (April 13, 2015) - broncolor (www.bron.ch), makers of lighting and flash systems for photographers and filmmakers is pleased to announce the launch of the new FT System, an advanced addition to the existing family of broncolor continuous light and Para products.

Since their introduction in 2002 the broncolor Para system has been renowned for its exceptional quality of light and rapid setup and break down. The broncolor Para is a true parabolic light bank that provides focus and the control to create a sculpted soft and beautiful effect not possible with a simple umbrella or reflector.

As part of the broncolor family the new Para HR (Heat Resistant) reflectors support the most powerful lighting options and the new Para FT (Focusing Tube) lamphead design streamlines the operation allowing the use of HMI's, tungsten heads and strobe heads in parabolic light banks that can be setup in just minutes.

The broncolor HMI FT1600 is dimmable, and provides constant color at all times. The light is absolutely flicker-free and thus perfect for high-speed exposures. With a CRI of 95+, the light quality is outstanding.

The FT focusing rod also accepts 1000W or 2000W tungsten heads. And an optional F focusing rod provides a firm mount for broncolor strobe heads as well as strobe heads and many standard stud mounted light sources from other manufacturers.

New heat-resistant materials make it possible for both the 88 HR and 133 HR Paras to handle the high output from the new HMI 1600W FT and 2000W tungsten-halogen light sources.

"Beauty has been the Para's legacy, I've used it for many makeup commercials, and beauty campaigns, but that being said - I've also used it in many far less obvious but very cinematic ways. The Para is great for separating a subject out of a larger environment.." noted John Engstrom, Lighting Designer at Scheimpflug Digital "I've even used it for sunsets giving us an extra 45 minutes of sweetlight."

Initially there will be four sizes of Para FT system reflectors: 88HR, 133HR, 177 and 222. Modular light sources will include a choice of 1600W HMI daylight and 2000W tungsten-halogen lamps. The FT System is as easy to customize as it is to use, and it will be adaptable to work with other brands of products as well.

"We are very pleased to be able to show our new broncolor FT system for the first time at NAB and are already excited by the feedback we've received during setup at the show." said Jacques Bron, President of Bron Elekronik AG. "No other lighting system provides comparable performance, flexibility and simplicity of operation."

Availability

The new Para 88 HR and Para 133 HR kits (item nos. 33.483.06 and 33.550.06) designed for use with continuous light sources up to 2000W will be available in June 2015. The complete broncolor FT System will be shipping September 2015.
