Bright Enough for the Camera.
Each meter of ProfiLED puts out about 400 lumens with a colour rendering index above 80, while drawing 12 watts at 24 volts. That combination is what lets the bars sit in shot without washing out or skewing skin tones.
Light Output
Lumens against watts
A ProfiLED bar is one meter long and produces roughly 400 lumens from 12 watts at 24 volts DC, drawing about 0.5 amps. Ten bars on one controller therefore draw around 120 watts in total at full output.
Knowing the figure per meter is what makes a rig predictable. Power, cable and controller are sized from the number of meters rather than from a guess.
- 400 lumens per meter of typical light output
- 12 watts per meter at 24 volts DC
- About 0.5 amps per bar at full output
- Controller and power supply included, see Multiple Control Options
Colour Rendering
Why CRI above 80 matters
Colour rendering index describes how faithfully a light source shows the colour of what it illuminates. Above 80 is the usual threshold for work that ends up on camera, where a low index makes fabric, skin and paint read wrong.
ProfiLED is specified above 80, so it can light a set rather than only decorate it. Bars still need a camera test with the production settings before a shoot.
- Colour rendering index above 80
- 150 degree view angle spreads the output, see Wide Coverage
- Test with the production camera before the shoot

About 400 lumens per meter, and each bar is one meter long.
Around 12 watts per meter at 24 volts DC. Ten bars on a single controller draw roughly 120 watts at full output.
Its colour rendering index is above 80, which is the usual threshold for camera work. Always run a camera test with the frame rate and shutter you plan to shoot at. Background in Pixel LED for Video Production Sets.
