The dedolight Lightstream Flag system: hard and soft light from a single source
The dedolight Lightstream Flag system is designed to prevent excess light from passing beyond a reflector and then bouncing back to create unwanted effects within a scene.
The dedolight Flags are available in square or round shapes with a mounting point located central to a hole within the flag, This is where the reflector attaches. The flags are available in 5 different sizes to accommodate different size reflectors: 22 inches, 32 inches, 42 inches, 52 inches, 62 inches.
It is also possible to mount several flags together. Square flags can be mounted to a single stand, enabling 4 or 5 refle...

Virtual reality production and the concept of infinity lighting
Working with the dedolight Lightstream system one can create the illusion that the light is coming from very far away. This is achieved by working with parallel light in combination with reflectors. When the light hits the reflector, the distance of the light to subject creates the illusion of infinity lighting, which is lighting from a far distance. This is shown in the video above, using the dedolight Lightstream system, groups of reflectors, in combination with Prolycht lights and the Chroma Link app, which allows tracking of color temperature in realtime.
