The "DecaPod" is a small but very powerful light source. It houses thirty MR16 globes (eyf/eyc), and utilizes a low voltage (12v) series / parallel circuit. This circuit enables us to not only switch the "Pod" to the desired output, but also to achieve one of the brightest quartz outputs under 20 amps. Because these globes were originally designed for projectors, they project a very intense light without projecting the heat of a standard PAR globe. The "DecaPod" provides all of these advantage plus much more.

OPINION

The DecaPod is a bright, even, light source and with wide globes is about as bright as a Mighty Mole in full-flood position. Of course there are some advantages to using a Pod, one of which is its three circuits allowing three chance to achieve the desired light output. Another is its unique shape , similar to a 4' Kino Flo, but with a much higher output. Lastly is its compatibility with the DecaLight and PentaLight. These lights were designed not just be be an alternative to using a Dino Light or a 12 Light Maxi, but as a system that allows a Gaffer to have a Large, Medium, and Small light all in one user-friendly, reliable package. In the very near future, there will be several accessories / improvements to the DecaPod, including: Pod Barn Doors, & Podeflectors (an attachment that double diffuses the Pods output).
