Light Control Accessories
“While I’ve been using Chimera products for over two
decades, their strip banks were not part of my battery
of tools, until recently. I’ve been creating a body of
work expressing the combined power of nature with
human physicality and spirit. The strips, in all their
sizes, provide the essential lighting control I need to
make exactly what I want to produce happen, whether
I am on location or in the studio.”
- Jeff Boxer
“Chimera makes the best softboxes I have used. They
don't yellow over time and provide all the accessories I
could ever want. I almost always use them with the
eggcrate fabric grids to contain the light.”
- Michael Grecco
“I once had the pleasure of hearing a lecture by the
late, great W. Eugene Smith. He said he used only
available light. Any light of any kind that was available,
he would use it. Light is the foundation, spirit, and soul
of our photographs. Chimera is some of the great
light available in my opinion.”
- Jack Reznicki
“With a Chimera F2 the sky has no limit; it is virtually
at your disposal. You can count on the “Golden Hour”
at any time of day.
If photography means to write with light (from the Greek),
then owning a Chimera F2 will offer you the talent of a
fine calligrapher to trace the line of any motor vehicle
with a clean and uninterrupted highlight. It is the only
available lightbank large enough to do so and yet
portable enough to carry on location.”
- Tom Zimberoff
President’s Letter
For the nearly 30 years that Chimera has been providing the
best and most innovative lighting products to professionals and
serious imagemakers in the film, video and photographic
community, we have experienced great changes in our industry
and profession. Professionals, technicians, imagemakers and
companies have had to transform and adapt to change or perish. Digital technology,
computers, the internet, worldwide sourcing and production availabilities, and many
other factors have impacted all of us.
Advances in the scope of products available have brought the art of image making to
an ever broadening number of artists world wide. The new innovations have placed an
array of tools and information in the hands of all imagemakers, but there still remain
the constants required for true genius – talent, individuality, uncompromising standards,
vision, creativity, and courage. Hidden by the blur of technology and the pace of
change are the basic principles of success that have been present in the artist forever.
As you will see in this catalog, Chimera continues to transform and adapt to the ever
changing landscape while at the same time, continuing its uncompromising standards.
Chimera’s overriding goal is to provide our customers and dealers with products and
services of unparalleled value that consistently exceed your expectations in quality,
performance and reliability. We continue to strive for our customers to have as much
pride in Chimera’s products as we do.
Gary Del Fium
President
“With lighting being the most variably
creative aspect of any production, it is
important to have the right tools that
can shape the light in order to depict
the mood and texture of a scene and
the characters in any particular script.
Chimera provides an impressive array
of Soft Boxes that allow me to get
the wrap and the reflectance I need
on a subject without losing detail to
highlights. I particularly appreciate the
versatility of interchangeable rings,
which makes it convenient to use the
same boxes on different light sources.”
- Tom Musto
“I never place a lighting order without
including Chimera Lightbanks. I can’t
imagine shooting without them. On
my last Emmy nominated HBO movie,
Mrs. Harris, we used many different
sizes and shapes, including the
Chimera Lanterns. One of my favorite
ways to use Chimera banks is with
the Barger-Baglite. There isn’t a
smoother, more even wrap around
light in the business.”

Triolet
™
CHIMERA’s versatile Triolet can accept
3 lamp styles. With its unique new 2-pin
screw-in adapter, the small, popular 650
watt 2-pin style lamps can be used (the
protective glass dome assembly should be
used with 2-pin lamps). The Triolet
directly accepts Mogul base lamps and
medium based bulbs via a screw-in
adapter. The CHIMERA Triolet emits a
broad, omni-directional light that is
compatible with Lightbanks, Lanterns,
Octabanks, or even without a modifier
for a bare-bulb light effect. Both models
come equipped with Quick Release Speed
Rings that bayonet onto the housing.
#9930 – Lamp fixture, attached 15”
power cord with in-line switch, and a
#2930QR Quick Release Speed Ring.
#9950 – The #9930 above plus protective
glass cover and 2-pin adapter.

2-pin screw-in adapter plus protective
glass dome assembly.
Birdcage™ Lantern
Inspired by a working cinematographer Rich
Underwood, Cinematographer/Cameraman,
and refined by Chimera's engineers, the
new CHIMERA Birdcage Lantern light
has emerged as a unique addition to the
CHIMERA family of Lightbanks. This new
innovative design offers flexible use – hang
it, stand it up, lay it down, put it on a stand
with the new CHIMERA #3860 Stand
Adapter. The light can be shaped with the
adjustable black skirt, adding a glow
where you desire a small to moderate
area of soft accent light.
The new CHIMERA Birdcage stands
approximately 14” and comes complete
with a Mogul Base fixture for 500-watt
lamps plus a screw-in adapter to allow
the use of standard household lamps
(Stand Adapter and Lamp not included).
#1810 – Fixture; Mogul Base; 8' power cord
with in-line switch; top handle; mount stud,
Diffusion cover, Black / Silver wrap panel,

“Chimera Lightbanks bring a beautiful light
quality to my work. Whether it’s television, film, HiDef or
DV, CHIMERA Lightbanks consistently bring a beautiful light
quality to my work. I like to work the banks in close - and, because
the light is so soft, it’s really easy on the talent. It’s simple, quick,
gorgeous lighting that I can take with me on any shoot.”

The difference between Daylite
Junior Series and Video PRO
Banks may not be readily
apparent from the front, but a
side profile shows they are
quite different. Up to 50%
deeper than Standard Banks,
the increased depth of the
Daylite Series allows the fullflood beam of a Fresnel fixture
to fill the front diffusion screen
and deliver beautiful light
from its narrow beam.
All Daylite Banks are
compatible with our extensive
line of accessories including
Barn Doors, LightTools™
Soft Eggcrate™ Fabric Grids,
Honeycomb Metal Grids,
Color Correction Screens, and
Bobbinette Scrims.

F2
The ultimate in big job lighting
for in-studio or on-location,
CHIMERA F2 Lightbanks
provide large, clean, continuous
specular highlights.
Soft Silver interior of the F2 makes an
extremely efficient light source.
An internal removable baffle further
diffuses the light for incredibly even
highlights.
Lights, preferably bare-tube strobes, barebulb HMI’s, or wide-beam open-faced
tungsten, mount on 5/8 inch baby pins.
Sizes range from 10x20 to 15x40 feet.
The Modular F2 Frame is composed of 5
foot wide by 10 foot long sections which
guarantee fast, efficient set-ups and a
more rigid structure in the largest sizes.
Under Development
CHIMERA is re-designing a component
F2 system for more flexibility of use –
for both studio and location.
Where to Rent F2 Lightbanks –
see the Support Section at
www.chimeralighting.com

www.chimeralighting.com

maximum effectiveness use with a
“bare bulb” type lighting instrument.

Strobe Speed Rings
The backbone of the CHIMERA system, we
make the best Speed Rings available fitting
just about every lighting instrument made.
Quick Release Ring
The CHIMERA Quick Release Ring is
constructed of high-grade 6061/T6 aircraft
aluminum and with its unique patented
design, the Quick Release Ring allows you
to set up a Lightbank as quickly as an
umbrella! A flip of the lever allows you to
easily release the tension of the Lightbank
poles, simplifying setup and tear down of
larger Lightbanks and Strip Banks. Ideal
for the quick folding of Lightbanks to
move through doorways or narrow sets.

Window Patterns
Versatile window patterns solve
the difficult production dilemma
of generating interesting
lighting patterns with openfaced or Fresnel lights.
Durable and lightweight Window Patterns
work with CHIMERA Panel frames for
lighting backgrounds for interviews,
portraits, still life and much more.
No more pulling venetian blinds from
windows or chopping tree branches to
create the look you want. Two patterns
can be combined with the frame holder,
or be creative by using one pattern and
a color gel! Easy to use and attaches
to Velcro™.
