The team here at Westcott set out to create a revolutionary new light source that would offer the ultimate in flexibility and control. Our conclusion was to develop one product that could be used as a strobe to freeze action, with constant Tungsten Halogen to see lighting patterns immediately and with Fluorescents to cool environmental temperature as well as offer true Daylight balanced color. The Answer - Spiderlite TD5. The Spiderlite TD5 allows you to run either five Tungsten Halogen lamps, five Fluorescent Lamps, or four Studio Strobes with a modeling lamp. Change your light source, light output, color temperature or environmental temperature instantly. Three separate controls on the back of the Spiderlite TD5 allows you to run 1-5 lamps. You can quickly change lighting ratio without changing color temperature. The Spiderlite TD5 was awarded the TUV-UL 1573 approval for safety and design. The unit is constructed of solid metal - no plastic to break. Rod points are built directly into the light head for attachment of a soft box eliminating the need for an adapter ring. The Spiderlite TD5 offers a reflective surface so any light falling back is again reflected forward for maximum output. The heavy-duty handle allows a soft box to be quickly and easily rotated from a vertical to a horizontal position. A Westcott Tilter Bracket is included for direct attachment of the Spiderlite TD5 onto a light stand. Unit comes standard with 15 ft. 120 or 220-volt power cord.
