Hexolux: The Xum7 is shipping today as promised

“We integrated the feedback received from early adopters to come up with what we think is the ultimate Lighting Instrument for this new era of digital cinematography.” said Pete Smith, Founder and CEO of Hexolux.

The Xum7 Version 2 now accepts standard off-the-shelf 7 3/4″ accessories such as barndoors gel-frames, snoots, etc..

In addition, the company developed a patent-pending system which allows you to literally slide an umbrella into the instrument, eliminating the need for extra brackets or fittings.

The patent-pending innovative Xoft – is a complete redesign of a Soft Box that lets you pop it up and drop it in like barn doors, eliminating the hassle of speed rings and bendy-rods.

Hexolux Illuminates Xum7 LED

Hexolux has unveiled the Xum7 (pronounced “zoom seven”) LED Fresnel. The hexagonal design of the Xum7 allows the fixture to function as a modular system; each Xum7 can be used individually, or multiple Xum7s can be mounted together as a “team” to create a large, seamless, bright source.

“I asked eight companies selling LED lighting at NAB for TLCI data for their products. Of the eight, only one had heard of TLCI, although I notice that Hexolux has (very good) TLCI data on its website.” 

Let there be light at NAB!

“The evolution of lighting has seen in the last few years, taking us from heavy hot filament driven instruments to color balanced fluorescent to LED lights. Until now LEDs of work best in small intimate surroundings. Some larger systems have been starting to be seen. But now I discovered Hexolux  at NAB.

And I must tell you I was tremendously impressed. The system highlight is the flexibility. You can start with one lamp and add the second, third, fourth, fifth or as many as you need for your lighting demands. You can create anything that you need and with the specially designed Rella or the Xoft softbox,  you have an unlimited range of lighting supplies within your reach.”
