360° Bicolor Light, Slim Shape f/ Tight Spaces & Edge Lighting
Introducing the DaoLite from Fotodiox! DaoLite is a bi-color LED tube light that provides 360° of bright, soft light for your filmmaking or photography, whether you’re in a studio or on-location. The unique 360° arc diffusion surface spreads powerful, diffused light in all directions; this slim form factor is great for edge lighting but is especially great for use as fill light in tight spaces or specialty situations such as elevators, cars and other spaces where standard lighting equipment is too bulky. Mount DaoLite on a stand, hand it to a crew member or hold it yourself for fast, adjustable light. Use multiple units to create specialty looks in camera such as rows, squares and triangles.
The DaoLite is a complete kit that includes everything you need to mount this versatile LED light on a stand, hang in a studio, hand off to an assistant or just hold yourself. And everything packs into the included premium custom bag to throw in the trunk of your car for your next shoot. All this power and versatility is packed into a wand that is roughly 3 feet long (with battery handle) and 2.2″ in diameter! They’re compact enough to mount behind your subject for rim light, and they create striking rod-shaped reflections for eye catchlight or product photography.

Ultra Bright LEDs, High CRI & TLCI for Accurate Colors
