I am really excited to report on the new ARRI L-Series LED light. I have always wanted to use an all in one Light. This New Focusable Fresnel has brought much needed efficiency to the Broadcast studios around the world. One of the biggest things you will notice is the cost savings more than anything with lamp replacements and maintenance.
The L7-C LED source produces the equivalent of a 750W tungsten light while drawing only 220W for a savings of a whopping 75% over similar output tungsten lights. Low heat means lower AC bills in the studio. You can actually run 9 L7s off of a 20A, 110V outlet as opposed to two 1,000W or three 650W standard fixtures. The full-spectrum of the L7-C is fully tune-able, the white light can be adjusted for different skin tone. With the ability to adjust color tempter, plus and minis green (green and Magenta shift) it fits well with mixed-light environments especially in a news broadcast that have large windows that look out into the streets that changes threw out the day, you only need to change the color temp and not have to worry about adding jells. On top of all that you can also have color effects and create moods and feels in a broadcast environment. As well you are able to place certain lights for different talent or news anchors that has different skin tone and the L7 is the only LED light that can come the closest to real tungsten lamps in color tempter. The L7 is fixable to 15deg to 50deg spot to flood and works just like the other Arri lights. The L7 comes in two colors, Silver and Black. 
With the $2500 Price tag I feel this is a great light in a broadcast or studio environment. The L7 is a light thats been a dream to lighting designers and directors for a long time.
Great Job Arri.
Happy Light.
