New technology allows studios to upgrade to daylight for 1/4 the cost.

/in /by

NLYTN-EGTHexolux today announced the availability of its NLYTN EGT drop-in LED upgrade.

The $750 kit (single unit price) upgrades an existing Mole, Arri or Desisti 1 kilowatt halogen fresnel fixture to a high performance daylight color temperature LED instrument in 2 minutes.
The upgraded light draws only 150 watts and supports external legacy dimmers, requiring no change to infrastructure or workflow. It focuses from 15 to 60 degrees using the fixture’s existing mechanism with a Color Rendition Index of more than 93.
Spotted down, the light projects 580 foot-candles at 10 feet. This is 25% more light than a popular 200-watt purpose-built LED fresnel that is four times the installed cost and requires changes in infrastructure and workflow.
The kit consists of a diffractive optical element that replaces the glass lens and an LED module that replaces the EGT halogen bulb of the upgraded fresnel.
“This breakthrough in lighting comes about from leveraging the LED, optics, thermal management and power supply technologies we developed for our D7 multi-purpose field light.” said Pete Smith, Founder of Hexolux.

Answering some questions:

Delivery time?
The RUG Special is 4week delivery. Contact us if you really need anything sooner. The discount is like the reverse of a ‘rush’ order and we are doing a special run of specifically what is in the kit, plus the units have a unique red backplate.

Do the barn doors and other accessories lock in?
Yes. There is a metal tab that slides out to lock them in. It is adjustable and can be locked in place for crazy rigging like upside-down on the front of a car.

Can you power with Anton Bauer style batteries?
Yes. We have gold-mount battery plates available.

Will Hexolux be at NAB?
Yes, we will announce details next week.

Longer D-Tap to Illuminator cable?
Yes, we will soon have a 10ft extension cable for the 4-pin XLR
