This is helpful especially when they are being used as practical lights. Often, a drawback of LED lights is they don’t dim low enough for their intended purpose, but these lights have micro-adjustments that allow you to do to the nth of a percent for the light output, even down to. Low Output ModeĪnother feature that is a game changer on a set is the low output mode on the Quasar Science Double Rainbow. This is an extremely innovative feature that can be very useful on a set for a number of effects. This is very unique for not only RGB LED lights, but most other lights out there. This allows you to define your own Kelvin setting for the specific effects and hue you’re using. Previously the Quasar Science light tubes had modes that you had to stick to, but the Double Rainbows adjust the HSI color to whatever Kelvin temperature you want. The light kit also comes with two Ossium Rotators, which act as mini grip heads to mount onto c-stands. It even comes with a V-mount bracket that allows you to mount a V-mount battery snugly onto the back of this light.

The Ossium mounting system runs along the full length of the light and includes dozens of mounting holes that can be used for almost any film equipment you might want to mount them on as well as their mount attachments. They also include a useful and dynamic mounting system that is pretty unique for tube lights. They also offer individual pixel mapping which can customize your FX to be very specific, and a newly designed interface and color system. The Double Rainbow light is called so because it is double the width of the traditional Quasar Science rainbow lights, making the light source larger. They can be used for literally any type of filming, from interviews to music videos. RGB tube lights are incredibly useful to have on a set: they can be set up and moved more easily than a traditional film light, they take up considerably less space and usually weigh less, and can more easily have their color or effects adjusted.

Now that RGB tube lighting is more accessible and has a few more options on the market, including the recent SGC Prism P60 tube lights that we just reviewed, can the Double Rainbow compete? Check out our Quasar Science Double Rainbow review video to find out. Quasar Science has always been cutting edge when it comes to tube lights, with their original Quasar X-fades that were one of the first bi-color tube lights, and then later with their rainbow lights which changed the game for quick, easy RGB lighting. This week on Film Jams, we check out Quasar Science’s Double Rainbow in a review of this color-tastic RGB tube light.
