Improved ST-100

Introducing Strahlen

As filmmakers and photographers, we're constantly trying to do one thing - make our work better. And in doing so, we want to be using the best tools possible. This could be an updated camera body, or a new tripod, or - lights.

We've noticed a big problem in the lighting industry - people want LED lights, but everything on the market tends to be too expensive, poorly made, or difficult to modify.

Strahlen is the solution.

We began work in December of 2012 to create a new, high-output LED light made using three overarching principles:

1. Flexibility
2. Durability
3. Value.

After nearly a year of developing, prototyping, and testing, we've created our first product - the ST-100 series. The ST-100 is unparalleled in its versatility and quality and offers some of the best value on the market. Let us introduce you to the Strahlen ST-100 and show you why it needs to be the next light in your arsenal!

Add-Ons

(top)

Chimera Mount (add $75)

The Chimera 6.5" mount attaches to the front of the ST-100 and gives you the best of both worlds - high quality Chimera modifiers and budget-friendly S-type modifiers, all in one light. The ability to modify the look of the ST-100 is practically limitless!

Dome Diffuser (add $60)

Turn the ST-100 into a bare bulb light! This add-on is perfect for photographers who are used to working with bare bulb strobes, or for anybody looking to create a smooth, 180 degree spread of light. The dome simply attaches on the front by using magnets - there's nothing to twist or screw, just pop it on and pull it off.

Fresnel (add $100)

This fixed-distance Fresnel lens narrows the beam spread down to ~60 degrees - allowing you to throw the light from the ST-100 while maintaining excellent output. Just like the dome diffuser, the Fresnel attaches using magnets and is simple to use.

We've been testing out the ST-100 on several productions in a variety of mixed-light environments. Here's a quick video highlighting a few of the productions that the ST-100 has been used on.

Our Plan

(top)

We're coming to the Indiegogo community with a finished product that is ready for manufacturing.

We've spent the past year building relationships with our manufacturers and suppliers, researching and testing every component, and taking the ST-100 out into the field to determine and resolve any usability and reliability issues. Through all of this hard work, we've developed the ST-100 into a product that we confidently stand behind.

If we meet and exceed our goal, we'll be able to produce enough units to not just meet our demand on Indiegogo but also deliver additional demo units to distributors and rental houses across the nation, making the ST-100 readily available to creatives everywhere.

We'll be able to travel to shows across the US (we're lookin' at you, NAB!) and get Strahlen in front of even more awesome people.

And, most importantly, we'll be able to invest even more time and money into improving the ST-100. We believe that we have an incredibly strong base to launch Strahlen, but without your support - we have nothing.

Risk and Challenges

We have been working on developing the ST-100 for over a year. In this time, we have experienced a variety of challenges from design, to component suppliers, to manufacturers - but we’ve worked together through every problem to land on the best solution possible.

We’re happy to say that we’re ready to move forward with every aspect of production - all we need is your help to turn all of our hard work into reality.

FAQ

(top)

I'm ordering 2+ units and want a mixture of ST-100T's and ST-100D's. Can you make that happen?

Absolutely! Just specify how many you want to be ST-100T's and how many you want to be ST-100D's.

Are these available internationally?

We're in the midst of researching international requirements. With your help we can speed up the work necessary to ship the ST-100 internationally and make it available in countries worldwide.

Can the ST-100 be battery-powered?

Not yet (at least not directly), but that's the #1 feature we're working on.

Can I get multiple perks?

Yes! You can back our campaign as many times as you want, choosing as many perks as you want.

How can I contribute to Strahlen's specs and features? Can I give you some free advice?

Yes, please! Be sure to add your suggestions to the comments of the campaign. We're paying close attention to what you want out of Strahlen and we'll work hard to integrate a lot of your suggestions.

I’ve changed my mind. Can I get a refund?

Sorry, Indiegogo’s policy is No Refunds. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do about this. When your contribution is deposited into our PayPal account, it comes from Indiegogo, not from you. So if we were to refund your contribution, it wouldn’t make it back to you. Please see Indiegogo’s rules here.
