We at FilmGear® are excited to announce a new addition to the Zenith lineup: The Zenith 700C! This model joins the robust Zenith lineup of punchy, all-in-one LED lights as the most compact version yet. The 700C packs the same powerhouse optics as the 1000C and 1500C unveiled last year, in a more convenient and portable 2x1 form factor.
Zenith 700C
Zenith 1000C
Zenith 1500C
The entire Zenith line boasts a punchy, narrow 19° beam angle due to their state-of-the-art TIR lenses which house 7-color MCOB LEDs. This combo produces unprecedented output and color mixing for an LED light, making the Zenith an essential first pick off any gaffer’s truck.
Despite its compact size, the Zenith 700C doesn’t compromise on durability. Built for the long haul, its IP65-rated body is designed to handle any water and dust you can expect on the wettest shoots or the dustiest scenes.
Not only is the Zenith series extremely tough, but also incredibly adaptable. With a wide range of versatile accessories, you can transform its naturally hard output into a soft panel as needed Slide in the flat or dome diffusers to broaden the field of light or attach a soft box for gentler illumination, and make the Zenith your ultimate tool for achieving perfect lighting for every scene.
If you want to get an up-close and personal look at the Zenith lineup in action, be sure to visit our booth at this year’s CineGear LA! Also feel free to book a one-on-one demo with us at your shop or ours by giving us a call at (323)780-8880 or emailing info@filmgearusa.com!
FilmGear®’s Mega presents the next bold evolution for the maxibrute form factor! The RGB Mega takes what you loved about the RGB Max series and adds more power, more durability, and more versatility with exciting new modular capabilities:
Mega 900C (4-Head Model)
Mega 1200C (4-Head Model)
Mega 3600C (12-Head Model)
The Mega series continues our commitment to powerful and punchy optics, boasting a tight 19° beam angle, but now with even better color mixing. That comes courtesy of our new 7-color MCOB LEDs fired through our innovative TIR lenses. Each of the 300W heads gives a whopping 67% increase in output over the RGB Max series. The 7-in-1 RGB chips in particular give you unmatched precision in color control, giving the Mega the uniquely satisfying combination of brutish power with finesse in color accuracy.
In order to truly feel like a maxibrute though, our Mega was optimized for both weight and durability. Working directly with feedback from users, we’ve redesigned the body to withstand the elements, earning it an IP65 rating. Perhaps more impressively, the new design also manages to be much sleeker, while still retaining durability. These are lights built to withstand the rigors of production and definitely live up to the maxibrute’s legacy.
While we’ve made some significant improvements to both the output and build, the expandable versatility certainly sets the Mega apart. Those familiar with the RGB Maxes will be glad to see the 4-headed Mega 1200C reprising its role as both a maxibrute-style head and as a space light. Beyond that, we’ll be unveiling our own modular rigging system soon, so stay tuned for an absolutely beastly wall of light!
If you want to see these upgrades up close, than please feel free to request a demo either in-house, on-site, or even remotely. Call (323) 780-8880 or email us at joanna@filmgearusa.com to book a demo with us today! You can also check out the Mega in action at this year’s CineGear at our booth this coming June! FilmGear®’s Mega: Pure power in any shape you need!
Experience a new level of versatility in lighting with FilmGear®’s Power Beam Hybrid! Our latest innovation evolves traditional beam projectors with 4 different power bulbs and 2 color temperatures all in 1 housing. No matter the occasion, our new Power Beam Hybrid ensures you have the right beam for every scene, in just a few simple steps.
Effortless Switching in Four Easy Steps
Step 1:
Remove the globe currently placed in the lamplock of the fixture. In this example, we remove a 12k Tungsten globe.
Step 2:
Adjust the lamplock’s position to match the light center length (LCL) for the appropriate globe, ensuring a perfectly centered reflection of the light source. Then you’re ready to place the HMI lamp into the socket.
Step 3:
Disconnect the dimmer and swap it out for an appropriate electronic ballast. Then attach the head-to-ballast cable to the lamphead.
Step 4:
Fire up the ballast and strike the light!
Congratulations! You now have a beautiful beam of daylight without having to break out a whole new fixture!

FilmGear® is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of filmmakers through our strategic partnerships with esteemed film schools in Southern California. As we gear up for another year of collaboration, let's reflect on some of our noteworthy experiences with various educational institutions.
Our enduring partnership with UCLA stands as a testament to our commitment. Over the years, UCLA has been a valued collaborator, owning a diverse array of equipment from FilmGear®.
A snapshot from last year's demonstration captures students harnessing the power of our 4k Daylight Powerbeam.
As well as some words from our film school faculty collaborators:
Kevin Bui (American Film Institute) David Berry (UCLA)
Kevin Bui from AFI shared his thoughts on FilmGear®’s equipment, underscoring the importance of durability in educational environments: "Durability is one of the biggest things with FilmGear® lights. It's been knocked around and been through the war on set." Echoing this sentiment, UCLA instructor David Berry emphasized that FilmGear®'s units empower students to focus on lighting as a whole, not just the light source.
Our commitment extends beyond UCLA, as we have conducted engaging demonstrations at various universities like USC. As we eagerly anticipate collaborating with more schools this year, FilmGear® remains proud to provide the educational community with professional-grade lights that are still able to fit within a wide range of departmental budgets.
Looking ahead, we are excited about another year of fruitful collaboration. Stay updated on our endeavors with film schools across the industry by subscribing to our social media channels. FilmGear® is enthusiastic about continuing to contribute to the growth and development of aspiring filmmakers.
As our End of Year sale comes to a close, we at FilmGear® are so excited to kick off the new year with a host of new gear. Joining the classics of our lineup, here are some of the new luminaires lighting the way in 2024:
Our new beam projector line, able to swap between tungsten to daylight globes with a simple adjustment to the lamphead and quick switch of a ballast!
The new 2x1 member to the Zenith family!
