Is it just as bright or is it more efficient because of its modern LEDs?<\/em><br \/>\nThe SkyPanel and Orbiter are differ- ent. The SkyPanel is a spotlight, which distributes light on a surface. The Orbiter was designed to optimize luminance density. We selected LED to get the maximum amount of light possible onto a small surface. These LEDs were developed exclusively for ARRI.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Is the Orbiter going to replace the SkyPanel?<\/em><br \/>\nIf only a softlight is needed, then the Sky- Panel remains the best softlight available. One of Orbiter\u2019s advantages is that it can easily be converted from a softlight to spotlight \u2013 and vice-versa. This versatility is often needed both on location and in the studio.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/scheinwerfer.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-5555\" src=\"http:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/scheinwerfer-300x193.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"358\" height=\"230\" srcset=\"https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/scheinwerfer-300x193.jpg 300w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/scheinwerfer-768x494.jpg 768w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/scheinwerfer-630x405.jpg 630w, https:\/\/greenfilmshooting.net\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/11\/scheinwerfer.jpg 977w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/a>Which HMI daylight-balanced light is comparable to the Orbiter in terms of light output?<\/em><br \/>\nIn a one-to-one comparison with other open-face optic lighting, the Orbiter can be compared to the PocketPAR 400 W.

This is why it can be used for short distances and why it can achieve light intensity which is similar to the M8.

When a light is being designed, thermal simulations are made in order to create a suitable heat sink. This defines the weight of an LED light.
