What’s New. The Ice Light 2 offers 50% more output, 10-step dimming with digital display, and removable lithium battery.

Light Wand. With its 21.6 × 7.5″ form factor, the Ice Light 2 is perfect for on-location lighting. If their estimations are accurate, the output should be equivalent to about 225 watts of 5500ºK light with a 72.6° beam spread. The 10-step digital dimming enables minute adjustment capabilities in a unit that produces virtually no heat.

Battery-Powered. One of the original Ice Light’s biggest downfalls was its built-in battery. With the Ice Light 2, Westcott has made the battery removable. You’re still getting 60+ minutes of runtime with a 2.5 hour recharge time, but now you can swap batteries and continue shooting. This new design also allows you to charge the battery without the unit with the included charger. If you’ll be shooting near AC power, you can power the unit that way for all-day shooting.

Mounting Solutions. Like its predecessor, the Ice Light 2 has 1/4-20" threading on the top and bottom of the unit. This enables tripod mounting, as well as the ability to accessorize.

Remote Control. Control multiple Ice Light 2’s remotely through any iOS device via a bluetooth connection, with the ability to manage battery levels and full dimming support.
