  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

Group Buy - Hexolux LED Spotlights

what is the 7s output in terms of Watts?

Short answer: about the same light output as a 1K tungsten for about 1/8 the energy consumption

Long answer:
"Watts" is a term of energy consumption. It is calculated: Volts x Amps = Watts

Example: a device running at 120v using 2 Amps is consuming 240 Watts

Lumens and Foot Candles are units of light output. Having a focusable light source allows you to concentrate all the light energy on the intended target.

i know i know abut Watts,... but it become a standard when talking about fresnels or hmi - 2kW, 1kW, 650W,...
and i know its hard to say as usual fresnels dont have such a wide focus range... and all this. but just for the general feeling

thanks for the short answer :D
 
What is the difference between the 5" and 7" fixture?

Is it only the minimum & maximum beam width gets smaller for the 5"?

The Light Engine (the LED module) is the same on both 5 and 7". The only difference is smaller form factor for tight spaces at the expense of 3/4 stop of light output. So there are really 3 sizes available to use:
7" = maximum efficiency and output
5" = compact
Bare Light Engine = for micro applications like in cars

Glad you liked the vid. Funny with all that gear at REDed - I reach for the iPhone to shoot . . . 1080P stabilized, AE with built-in auto level mic ;-)

You can see the AWB freaking out in some sections when we had both 3200 and 5600K lights on together

Its a great demo because all the important points are covered, but it's crazy to see how good the flood spot is on that fixture and the whole time he is handling it with no gloves. The ability to tilt shift the lens to even out intensity is also just fantastic. Save a ton of time and extra lighting. I'm big on one source and lots of bounce so this light looks like a really flexible tool.

Iron Man uses Hexolux ;-)


... Once they get the adapters for ProFoto and Bron this will be a game changer.

I see this more like a PAR fixture. Use in about all lightshapers of broncolor or Profoto would need an omnidirectional light source, which this isn´t. So it melts down to softboxes and maybe a small umbrelle. Unfortunately the "Para" style reflectors and such won´t work like intended. Interesting technology though, especially off mains area and the PAR-like use as spot on bounce boards looks tempting.

Cherrs!

If da boyz at Hexolux can't figure out how to reconfig the Light Engine into a ProFoto/Bron replica to allow all modifiers to work as intended . . . I'll engineer it for them ;-)

EZ breezy yee of little faith

Thanks for clarifying - interesting that it loses 3/4 stop of output due to this, but at least you only have to buy a housing if you want a smaller fixture.

May be I misunderstood the light emission, it looked like a flat surface to me, but of course I could be wrong.
Hey, and all faith to them, and as I said before - great construction and definitely a versatile lamp and personally I find a PAR lamp most versatile / useful among all those modifiers out there. Something a felt missing among the LED technology until now. So paired with a good CRI this could be what I was waiting for.

Cheers!

Also the 7" has tilt/shift capability where the 5" does not.
 
Im not so good with reading the spec. What is the 7" versions output translated to ordinary tungsten. Is it like the 1k or higher? And will it have lesser throw than the arri blue 1k?

How is the amount of light compared to the area 48? Will the area 48 win on the output if you need a big soft light or can you bounche this light/softbox and still have a brighter light?
 
I take it the group buy is US only?

. . . I have some ideas on a design ;-)
