UPDATE:

Here we show a photo shoot using the Hue Bar and Tru Bar.

Here, we explain why there's nothing out there like the Lumenator™.  It is a modular system, not a single light.  You can stack light bars on top of each other expanding your light source, and there are different types of light bars available.

LA LED

At LA LED we’ve been making quality LED lighting solutions for years.  We make flashlights, dimmable LED bulbs, LED "fluorescent style" tubes, stadium lights, street lights and more.  Now we’ve come up with a new innovative light for photographers and videographers that’s portable, expandable, affordable and easy to use.

THE PROBLEM

There aren’t many offerings out there for on-the-go photographers. 

Lights are either big and bulky and require large battery packs or work like a flash.  If you want soft light that can spread and feather well, there aren't many options.

You need a light you can stuff in a bag and take with you. You can use it handheld or on a stand. You want it to be versatile for a variety of situations. You want built-in rechargeable batteries or to power it straight from the wall or car.  Maybe you want a different color light as well.

Enter THE LUMENATOR™:

The Lumenator™ can fulfill all of those needs and more. It gives you choices. That’s what separates the Lumenator™ from anything on the market.  

The idea is to have a controller base, then you can stack 12" light bars on the top or bottom of the controller.  That gives you the choice of 1-6 light bars depending on your needs.

We started with the concept that there should be a better way to light scenes on-the- go.  So, we went to our offices and came up with the first working prototype.

The Lumenator™ will output 1200 lumens per light bar, have a built in dimmer and can work off battery or plugged in.

The kickstarter campaign will help us put all of this power and technology into a better looking body.  We have all of the components ready to go. We have the designs for the body too.

It is based on a modular design that can be expanded based on your lighting needs. Light bars can be added to the top and bottom of the control unit and to the ends of the light bars themselves. So, there’s more light and you can spread it how you want it.  Also, we have rechargeable batteries inside.  

It is going to have two 1/4-inch mounting holes on it. You can use it on a tripod with a quick boot or a traditional lighting stand with the 1/4-inch holes.

There are three different types of Light Bars we’ll offer.

The TRU Bar™ is daylight balanced and comes with the standard Lumenator™ Kit. These output 1200 lumens per bar.

Our TAILOR Bar™ can select whatever white balance you like with a kelvin selector.  You can go cool white to warm white.

And the HUE Bar™ is an RGB module that allows you to change colors with an onboard controller.

So, the Lumenator™ is:
Expandable
Portable
and Customizable

THE TEST SHOTS

THE CONCEPT

We've made concept drawings:

THE FUNDING

The $60,000 we’re trying to raise will go into making the polycarbonate, LED dies and all of the molds necessary to offer you the final product and the mass production.

THE PRODUCTION

We have existing relationships with vendors and factories in China we work with every day.  We have done this before and have the process pretty streamlined.  It goes like this:

• We send the designs and specifications over to our contacts in China.
