2.0 Introduction 

Epos 300 

 

The Kelvin Epos 300 is an RGBACL LED COB studio light with full color spectrum for professional use in the film 
industry. The lighting technology developed by Rift Labs enables especially high accuracy and quality of the light 
emitted across the full color spectrum, giving the users a much more predictable and continuous quality in their 
creative use. The technology is combined with high attention to user and customer experience in usability and 
digital/physical UX, exceeding market standards. It is designed and constructed for longevity in a rough working 
environment. Made to withstand life on set and beyond.  
 

2.1 Features

 

The Kelvin Epos 300 provides lighting to professionals with a minimal environmental footprint. All lamps are LED-
based, ensuring a low and efficient power consumption, with maximum light output per watt. Most of the casing 
assembly is made from highly recyclable materials. A reliable and lasting quality gives the product a much more 
sustainable footprint. Combined with high efficiency and sustainable solutions in manufacturing, logistics, and 
packaging, the Kelvin Epos 300 is a high-performance product made in Norway. 
 

2.2 Properties

 

Due to the unique Cantastoria Light Engine, a predictable continuity of light across the full color spectrum is 
guaranteed, and the light intensity is highly precise and controllable to an accuracy of 0.01%. The light and build 
quality exceed industry standards and solves a major challenge of life on set: It is durable, sturdy, yet compact. The 
materials make it sturdy; the design and the construction make it strong. And the form is not just beautiful, but 
allows the light to be stored vertically, horizontally or in any way needed, without endangering the elaborate 
electronics within. We believe The Epos 300 has any expectations in its segment. We further aim to elevate 
industrial design standards and attention to detail in the film light industry, with a design conveying the main values 
of Kelvin - precision, sturdiness, usability, and accessibility. 
 

2.3 Idea

 

To creators, cinematographers, photographers, studios, and filmmakers, light is essential to define and set the 
ambiance for a set scene. It makes the difference between a good story and great visual storytelling. In addition to 
providing a high-quality light, smooth usability is core to be efficient and making the best use of valuable time on 
set. The Epos 300 is designed to address usability and efficiency in use, providing a fully compatible app for iOS 
and Android 

– Kelvin Narrator - to control the lighting unit via Bluetooth, in addition to its touch screen and buttons. 

Seamless integration of a full lighting kit on set is possible, whether controlled with a touch of a finger on a phone or 
the individual control units of the lights. Equally, reliability and power requirements are key factors addressed 
through dedicated design and engineering.  
  

2.4 Form

 

Electronics and lamps are delicate components requiring sturdy casing to prevent damage from impacts caused by 
drops, rough use, exposure of weather and rough conditions. The design of the Epos 300 is developed to 
communicate the impact of a high-tech precision device, while being robust, reliable, and practical. An innate 
simplicity also reflects the efficiency of a modular production, smart logistics and the ability to be recycled. 
Extended use of aluminium allows a sturdy construction, which is also easy to recycle, long-lasting and a superior 
protective case for its sensitive electronics within.  
  

2.5 Function

 

One of the benefits that advocate the Epos 300 is the separation of the light head and the light control unit. The 
light may be controlled remotely from the Bluetooth, Kelvin Narrator App for iOS/Android, DMX, Lumen 
Radio/Wireless DMX (built-in) or from the separate control unit, which is operable free standing or suspended from 
a vertical support. The light unit can thus be fixed remotely and in out of reach positions. The front of the lamp has a 
Bowens mount for various accessories that modify the light. 
 

3.0 Precautions

 (Important for your safety) 

Epos 300 

 

The light fixture is used for professional lighting. The lighting system and accessories must be used by professional 
or trained personnel. All operations must follow the relevant safety instructions:  
1. All instructions must be read and understood before use, including the transport,
