Keldan is a swiss video and dive light manufacturing company. Daniel Keller was at the booth, and took me on a tour of two interesting video lights.

The Luna 4 BS-V video light is a self-contained 30-watt HID light that produces 1400 lumens @ 5500°K. It features 5 power levels, and weights 0.89Kg on land an 0.211Kg in water. The Luna 4 uses Brightstar bulbs (CRI: 70), and runs for 55 minutes on full power.

The Luna 8 WA-V video light is a 25-watt HID light that produces 1500 lumens @ 5000°K. It is longer than that Luna 4 is, and weighs 1.1Kg on land a 0.29Kg in water. It will burn for 130 minutes on full power. (CRI: 85)

Keldan lights feel great in one’s hands, and the on / off switch is easy to operate. Both of the above lights are also available as dive lights, which feature subtle changes only (e.g. light blinks when low on battery).

The Luna 4 retails for $1,256, and the Luna 8 for $1,608.
