BEE:
Hive Lighting’s Bee Plasma Flood is Hive’s first “open face”- style lighting solution.
Using a single unique plasma bulb, a micro-star, the Bee has a 100 degree flood, with a revolutionary reflector system, it fits four point and eight point softboxes, photo umbrellas, and a traditional glass fresnel lens, making it a tool for both motion and still image production.
This versatile unit weighs only 10 pounds, so it is both easily transportable and simple to set up and breakdown on-the-go. Adjustable color temperature between 4600K – 7000K CCT, easily powered with 90-277VAC or 18-38VDC.
Flicker free, 30,000 hour bulb life, vibration and impact resistant, and capable of producing output twice as bright as LEDs, four times brighter than fluorescents and five times brighter than incandescents, all from a single point source bulb.
