Light on skin is a play of reflection and absorbtion. Many LED sources that has an excellent IRC or other readings appears to create a wax-like skin. This is because the skin acts as a reflector and do not absorb light – as it does under natural light as daylight or natural incandescent light. Putting yellow and orange filters on a LED source takes out a some blue generated by the LED, but it surely don’t add any yellow, amber or deep red. This is the substractive way of trying to match a candle or fireplace. FLAME is a principal or an additional LED source. We use a blend of 2 200K, Lime, Amber and Deep Red. To get closer to the candle spectrum.

THE FLAME PRODUCE RICH SKIN TONES AND GREAT SATURATION. THE WIDE COLOR SPECTRUM GIVES MUCH MORE FLEXIBILITY IN COLOR GRADING. THE SMALL SIZE ANG WEIGH MAKES IT POSSIBLE TO USE THEM INSIDE EXISTING PRACTICALS.

FLAME is a unique assembly of 4 different LEDs: deep red, amber, lime and white 2200K mounted on a small circuit the size of a candle flame. The light of the FLAME matches perfectly with that of a real candle and a natural flame.
FLAME is intended to be integrated into lanterns and hurricane lamps, or potentially any luminaire originally operating with a real flame. On the sets, the assembly of several FLAME units makes it possible to light Chinese balls in the face or mini-space lights.
FLAME is therefore aimed both at Dops and their gaffers and at decorators and props designers as a “practice”, namely a light source for the image.

HOW IT WORKS ?

The illusion of a real glowing source comes from color and movement

The spectral richness of FLAME makes it possible to match different cameras. This requires a “tuning” of the ratios between the 4 colors of FLAME. For this, we use either DMX or our miniature BLE dimmer. It manages the intensity and tint of the light and allows you to intuitively create autonomous scenes and animations thanks to its Stand Alone function. It operates under 12 volts and is controlled via the Casambi application under iOs or Android. This 4-circuit dimmer can be easily integrated into all kinds of lighting fixtures.

“There is no equivalent of FLAME!“ Ernesto Giolitti, gaffer
“I’m really impressed. Industrial design, plug and play. AND with batteries. Compact and 6mm thread for mounting. Exceptional.“ Thomas Willemoes Høyer, cinema props
“Absolutely amazing depth of color – We love it everyday“ Anders Bohman, Director of photography
“FLAME is the only source you can film and believe it’s a real flame.“ Simon Bérard, gaffer
“I have never seen an LED as efficient between 1800 and 2000K as the Flame from Softlights. It matches both candlelight and oil lamp light. This is a real revolution for LEDs”. John Christian Rosenlund, D.O.P
“FLAME does the job!“ Marco Rachini, gaffer

“The colors of traditional very warm LEDS gives skin-tones with a limited hue, giving the appearance of one flat and dull tone. They often have a green or magenta cast and none of the color definition you would need to render good skin-tone. I have never seen a LED that performs this well in 1800-2000K as the the new Flame LED from Softlights. It matches candle and paraffin light perfectly. The new Flame LED is a LED revolution”. John Christian Rosenlund, D.O.P.
