PAG Stands for Broadcast Quality

PAG Ltd. is a British company, that has been designing and
manufacturing high quality equipment for the film and television
industries for 40 years. In that time many PAG products have
broken technical boundaries and set new standards, worldwide.

The limited choice of high-quality, on-board camera lighting for
hand-held camcorders prompted PAG to develop a miniaturised
version of its professional Paglight. Paglight is a camera-top light
that can be seen in action regularly on TV news bulletins all over the
world.

Professional Features

The Paglight C6 incorporates many features of the larger 12V
Paglight, including a focusable beam angle, and a patented system
that makes lamp-changing quick and easy. The C6 is designed to
complement available light as a ‘fill’ or ‘front light’. It will add
vibrancy to the colour in your images, bring them out of the
shadows, and give your videos that professional touch.

Fully Focusable

The light output is fully-focusable. A lever mechanism on each side
of the lamp head provides a smooth transition from spot (narrow
angle) to flood (wide angle). The ability to change the beam angle
allows you to compensate for light loss over distance.

PAG’s Unique Plug-in Lamp holder System

The Paglight C6 features a patented plug-in lamp holder system
that makes fitting a lamp (bulb) quick and easy. The Paglight C6 is
supplied with a plug-in lamp holder and a 20W 6V, G4-size
tungsten halogen lamp (10W, 20W and 30W lamps are available).
Additional lamp holders enable change between lamps of varying
wattages, quickly and easily, without directly handling the lamp
(see Fig. 1). When not in use, lamp holders can be stored in their
heat-resistant polymer lamp protector.

Professional Accessories

The accessory holding ring fits onto the front of the Paglight C6.
It accommodates a range of accessories: a frosted diffuser, a
dichroic filter and barndoors. The accessory ring can be rotated
and secured in the desired position.

Diffuser

When filming in subdued light conditions, or poor daylight, it is
all too easy to over-light your subject. In order to avoid this you
can use the frosted diffuser to soften the light. You can also use it

to soften the harsh shadows caused by a bright light source, such
as direct sunlight. The spot-and-flood facility helps give you
further control over light intensity.

Dichroic Filter

When supplementing daylight with your Paglight C6, the colour
temperature must be corrected to match daylight. You can do this
by using the dichroic filter to raise the colour temperature of the
light output from 3200°K (halogen) to 5600°K (daylight). Colour
temperature is a measurement of the colour of light, not the
brightness.

Barn Doors

The barn doors can be used to flag off unwanted light. When folded
across the face of the reflector they also act as protectors for the
glass filters, when the light is not in use.

Cool Running

The Paglight C6 is constructed from a glass-reinforced engineering
polymer that provides impact-resistance and temperature stability
(see Fig. 2). The combination of this modern material and the
patented heat dissipation system ensures the Paglight C6 is cool­running and comfortable to handle, at all times.
