Vortex24: A Triple Threat

Developed in response to customer feedback for a larger, punchy lighting solution, the V24 maintains the high-quality standards synonymous with the Vortex8 while offering triple the output and greater coverage. This larger form factor simplifies rigging and reduces the need for multiple units in large-scale productions, while offering the power and precision needed for exterior and condor work, plus intricate image-based lighting scenarios.

 

KEY FEATURES

  • Pixel Precision: 24 pixel zones for lighting effects like fire and motion with smooth dimming across all intensities, all while maintaining colour accuracy.
  • Powerfully Efficient: Draws 1950W power, and includes a ‘House Power’ setting for 15A circuit operation.
  • Compact Design: Built-in ballast facilitating easier storage on carts and integration into truck packages.
  • Networking Simplicity: Equipped with dual Ethernet ports with a built-in Gigabit switch, enabling single-cable runs and daisy-chaining of units.
  • Quick Adjustments: A front latch system enables swift swaps of diffusers and accessories and includes a medium flat diffuser for immediate light softening.
  • Light Source: RRGBBW (red+deep red, green, blue+royal blue, white), throwing 90,000lumens at 3m (5600K, naked) with a 20º beam angle

Price Reduction for SpaceX and Micro Lighting Fixtures

“Our goal is to help in making Creamsource products accessible to a broader audience, and we believe these changes are a positive step towards that.

 

For the SpaceX, we’ve listened to feedback and appreciate that the higher price point has been a barrier for some customers. We’re addressing this by not only reducing the price but also including optics (worth $350) as part of the standard SKU (K-CSX-1200-C).

 

Separately, we’re also lowering the price for our Micro lighting fixtures. This change is a part of our commitment to provide high-quality lighting solutions that fit a variety of budgets.”
