Innovative cinematography lighting maker Hive Lighting announced a new CX-Series range with two new LED lights – the Hive Lighting Wasp 100-CX and the more powerful Hornet 200-CX.
The Wasp 100-CX, much like its predecessor Wasp 100C is a compact LED light that draws only 75 watts of power and utilizes the company’s proprietary Omni-Color array offering full control over RGB colours (as well as warm white) as well as producing some really high quality light output of 97 TLCI. The Wasp 100-CX is also flicker free and weighs just around 2 lbs making it super portable and easy to setup on set.
Light output is rated at about 320 foot candles at 5ft/1.5m, however this varies depending on which front attachment you use with the Wasp 100-CX, and there are plenty to choose from – available attachments include a Par Reflector, a Mini Leko, Adjustable Fresnel, Paradome softbox and more.
Thanks to its bayonet mount, the Wasp 100-CX is compatible with all Hive C-Series and Profoto modifiers and features a new enhanced Bluetooth range in the same premium aerospace-grade aluminium body as all C-Series lights.
