Litepanels has announced the next generation of Lykos mini LED panel lights. The new Lykos+ Bi-color LED panel is one of the smallest in the Litepanels range but is said to feature an output 40% brighter than the previous generation, delivering a 2000 lux (@3ft/1m) of light at any color temperature from 3200-5600K. The improvements are the result of lensing technology developed for Litepanels’ Astra  1×1 panels and deliver color accurate light with a CRI of 96 in a fixture that weighs only 1lb (500g). The Lykos+ can run over two hours on its built-in L-series/NPF battery mount.  The unit offers multiple mounting options or can be hand-held with a sturdy hand grip.  Brightness and color temperature are controlled by two simple dials or via the Litepanels SmartLite Director iOS app with an optional Bluetooth dongle.  Lykos+ is available now from Litepanels authorized retailers as either an individual fixture or as a Flight Kit incorporating three lights, stands, filters, softbox and a Peli rolling flight case.
