Wanting A Battery Powered System??
We are experimenting with using this LED lighting system on a 12-volt marine battery with a power inverter, so far the results are promising. We are able to run 3 lights for about 9-10 hours and 6 lights for 6-7 hours before having to recharge the battery. We are still running some test to see which combination of batteries, inverters and chargers will work best. We will post our findings once we have narrowed down some of the details.

What we have learned about lighting...

For the 30 plus years of participating in art shows as well as supplying panels, booth lighting has always been a difficult problem to solve. There are many variables to consider when looking into the best way to light your booth. We feel that the latest LED technology has finallly developed enough to offer solutions.

Every element of this package has been evaluated and chosen for its ability to work well with not only Pro Panels, but to fulfill the needs of the artist.

If you are looking to buy a lighting system that is dependable, cost effective and high quality, this will be the only lighting system that you will need to buy.

Feature and benefits of our New LED lighting system.

• Bulb and Fixture Design:
  The cornerstone of this system is the 14-watt Par30 bulb that features a cluster of 60 individual, high efficiency, and low power LED's. An optical lens is then placed over the LED's to control the beam angle, shape and smoothness of the light. Other LED technology uses fewer, high power LED's that can cause uneven light and hot spots.
  
  Until recently, wattage has been used to determine the amount of light a bulb would produce. With newer technology, lumens is a better measurement to evaluate a bulb's brightness. In choosing a bulb for lighting your artwork, more lumens are not always better. In a booth set-up your light source is fairly close to the artwork. Too many lumens can cause your work to look washed out; too few and you lose the detail. Our bulb delivers around 700 lumens at a 60-degree beam angle. This high tech design delivers a visually pleasing appearance by projecting a glare free, smooth beam pattern, much like traditional lighting.
  
  The fixture that we chose is a simple yet stylish lamp holder. It features flexible bellows that fit snugly to any bulb design. The grey outer casing of the LED bulb complements the black fixture. Most other LED bulbs are offered in less appealing white casing.
  
  
• Wattage Use:
  The beauty of LED technology is the energy efficiency of the bulb. Our bulb only uses 14 watts of electricity as compared to a halogen that is usually around 50 watts which also means more heat. If a venue only allows 300 watts per booth that means that you can have 21 LED's bulbs in your booth versus only 6-50 watt halogen.
  
  
• Heat:
  LED bulbs do not put off nearly as much heat as a standard high wattage bulb or halogen. This can make the temperature in your booth much more comfortable.
  
  
• Light Color/Temperature:
  The color of light is measured on the Kelvin (k) scale, the higher the number the whiter the light.
  
  Artificially reproducing natural light is important to the overall presentation of your artwork. We offer 2 choices; the 5000k bulbs deliver a bright clean white light, similar to natural or halogen light. If you are looking for a slightly warmer light, we also offer a 3500k version.
  
  
• Durability/Bulb Life:
  The bulb that we use offers a 3-year warranty and suggested life of 30,000 hours. That is over 13 years of using the bulb 6 hours a day, every day of the year. Also LED bulbs are much more durable than a regular light bulb as there is no filament or globe to break.
  
  
• No Infrared or UV rays:
  Infrared and UV rays can cause your artwork to fade over time. LED lights do not emit any harmful IR or UV rays.
  
  
• Track and 15' Cord:
  Our track is a durable black 3-conductor 4' track that works with many types and brands of fixtures. The cord end allows the track to plug into any standard electrical outlet and has a convenient 15 ft. long cord.
  

Light Bar
$35 pair

The adjustable Light Bars provides a quick and easy way to attach track lighting to your Pro Panels. These Light Bars telescope from 25" to 42" and places the track between 11"-15" higher than the panel depending on the overall length. Attached to the end of the bar is a small plastic ledge for the track to sit on and a Velcro strap to hold it in place. The Light Bars simply slip over the top leg of your panel for quick installtion. The compact design make them a great alternative to the banner or support bar. A pair of bars will support an 8' track and several light heads. Track and light fixtures not included.

Light Bar Bag
$25 (our color choice) $30 (your color choice)

Our new Light Bar Bag is a convenient way to easily carry up to 6 sets of Light Bars. The bag is 38" long and 12" deep and comes with two strap handles for effortless transportation. It is also an excellent resource for transporting your other accessories such as tent hooks, stiffeners and hanging systems. Made from the same durable indoor/outdoor carpet we use on our panels.
