Creamsource Vortex8 2x1 RGBW LED Light

Add this 650W Vortex8 2x1 RGBW LED Light from Creamsource to your high-end production for a wide range of colours, effects, and powerful illumination that rivals a 1200W HMI light. The Vortex8 features a massive 14,000 lux in daylight at 9.8', a colour temperature range of 2200 to 15,000K, full RGBW spectrum LEDs, full hue/saturation control, 0 to 100% dimming control, and a CRI/TLCI of 95.

The RGB LED panel features a solid redesign aimed at professional DOPs and gaffers with durable aluminium and technopolymer construction. Its array of 512 powerful LEDs in 128 groups allows for a tight beam angle of 20° using a series of SPOT lenses. The light features an updated CreamOS version that provides a full configuration of colour, temperature, digital gels, and effects. The front of the frame features a quick-release mount that allows you to drop in a gel, the included diffuser panel, a honeycomb, or other accessories in no time.

In addition to the integrated button, LED display, and dial controls on the back, connectivity options include 5-pin DMX input and output, an included wired remote, a Creamsource Accessory port, integrated LumenRadio Timo Two antennas with Bluetooth, Ethernet, and a USB Type-A port. The light can also be synced with slow-motion cameras to match their frame rate at high speeds up to 5000 fps.

The fixture features a built-in power supply, so no need for a separate ballast. The included power cable allows you to plug the light in and it's ready to go. The light is kept cool by three variable-speed fans that are rated at IP67 to protect the internal electronics from moisture, and they can be turned off remotely when a quiet set is required. A removable yoke is included that snaps onto the NATO-style mounts on either side of the light, and it is ready to mount onto a stand. It also features eight 3/8"-16 threads for various mounting options.

IP65 Weather Resistant

The Vortex8 is built and designed to withstand all weather conditions and is rated IP65. The Vortex8 is an ultra-quiet fan-based system with optimum thermal efficiency. The fan system and heatsink placement allow for core electronics to be sealed and isolated.

Connectivity

Operating System and Interface

The new Vortex Series has been built with new software architecture at its base, supporting a myriad of new features, protocols, and connectivity options in CreamOS. With the ability to control and map eight zones, the new feature set has been wrapped into a new user interface, enhancing the user experience.

Design

Built with elegance and durability in mind, the Vortex8 is made with aluminium machining and a technopolymer infusion with the PSU as well as the antennas integrated into the head.
