The DPB70 is a special light that produces a 2° parallel beam from its 70cm (2.3') front diameter. Inherent in all Dedolights, PB70 units excel in extreme efficiency and unprecedented homogeneity. This light has hot re-strike capability with its DEB1200D flicker-free, DMX-ready electronic ballast. It also features an extended dimming range for an HMI from 100% to 60%.

The PB70 redefines what you are used to seeing when turning on a 1200w HMI. Using only house power, at 15' this light meters around 112,000 lux and lights a 34" diameter circle. Unlike a 7k Xenon, the PB70 1.2k can be operated in any position without heat issues. IP63 rated, it can be operated indoors or outdoors in mild rain.

The magic is delivered by the narrowness and structure of its 2° beam. This light creates a "virtual" light source, producing shadows similar to that of sunlight from a distance. Not only does it look like the photons originate well behind the physical light, but it also escapes the inverse square law with such a narrow beam angle. With an output of 112,000 lux at 15', one would assume an intensity of 28,000 lux at 30', but the DPB70 outputs twice that with 68,000 lux. While the distance is doubled, the output only drops by 50% (instead of 75%). The effect of the light on the subject appears as if it's coming from much further away.

The DPB70 is not just sheer output — it is ideal to shrink the space required for routine setups. For example, placing a large Lightstream #1 reflector only 10' from the DPB70 allows you to redirect the beam through a window, replicating shafts of sunlight in a tight space. This traditionally requires a Condor and large HMI sources from a substantial distance.

Keep in mind, this light does not require a generator and runs from a regular house breaker. While the light looks impressive, its uncanny by-product is savings: save space, time, money, energy, and permits — all while delivering the cleanest, sun-like beam on the market.
