Versatile 90W Bi-Color LED Light Kit

Review by Michael Corsentino

Leading lighting manufacturer Westcott has added the Solix

Bi-Color LED light to their stable of products. At 90W, the Solix

is a powerful tool able to deliver up to 3,100 lux of continuous,

flicker-free light at 1 m. In other words, it’s bright! In fact, West-

cott claims the Solix is 45% brighter than its predecessor. With

no bulbs to break or heat to worry about, LED certainly has

its advantages.

As its name implies, the Solix Bi-Color has user-adjustable

color temperature, which ranges from 3200K for tungsten bal-

ance to 5600K for daylight balanced applications. This versatile

combination of power and adjustable color temperature makes

the Solix the perfect continuous light source for still photogra-

phy and videography.

With variable color temperature, color stability across the power

range is especially important. The Solix excels in this department,

with CRI and TLCI ratings of 97+ and 98+, respectively, which

means reliable color regardless of your power or color tempera-

ture setting.
