Since the introduction of our Zenith line, many are curious about the capabilities and features of this new LED light. To address these inquiries, here are some frequently asked questions about our new RGB high-power panel, the Zenith:
How do these compare to your existing Power LEDs?
The Zenith represents the next step in the evolution of our Power LED series. Each MCOB LED chip is equipped with our state-of-the-art TIR lenses, resulting in a punchier and more directional output than its predecessor, the Power LED.
One of the most beloved aspects of the Power LEDs have been the absolute beating they can withstand, and the Zenith adds to that with an official IP65 rating, guaranteeing even greater resilience against the elements. Additionally, the Zenith offers a full spectrum of both bi-color and RGB capabilities, all controllable through wireless DMX.
How are filmmakers using the Zenith?
Thanks to its precise color temperature control, expansive gel options, and pre-programmed scenes, this powerhouse LED panel commands incredible versatility. Packing enough power for both indoor and outdoor shoots, it can serve as a key light for any scene or simulate specific atmospheres like a roaring fire, a dramatic thunderstorm, the ambiance of a nightclub, or a squad of police cars, just to name a few.
Can the Zenith be used as a soft light panel?
Absolutely. The Zenith can be paired with diffusers to transform its intense beam into a softer, more subtle glow. There's a reversible flat diffuser that can easily be attached or removed, providing 33 or 44-degree beam angles. For those seeking an even gentler illumination, there's the dome diffuser. This external attachment broadens the light's angle and produces a softer overall lighting effect.
What kind of form factors are there?
The Zenith line offers various shapes and outputs. The larger 1500W model comes in a 3x2 design, while the 1000W model comes in a 2x2 square. The newest 700W model condenses that same powerful punch of light in a tight 2x1 form factor. Additional configurations are on their way as we continue to innovate based on feedback from our gaffer community, all to deliver the ultimate power panel.
