2 x Prolycht Orion 675 FS
The Prolycht Orion 675 is a full-color, full spectrum cob light. It's the Swiss Army Knife of professional lighting. It can produce white light at any temperature from 1,800k to 20,000k, and any color of light you can imagine. Unlike most RGB fixtures, The Orion uses an RGBACL array (red, green, blue, amber, cyan, lime) to create color. As a result, colors are far more saturated than with normal RGB lights. White light is created using the full spectrum, so skin tones are far more pleasing and natural looking.
Because of the way the light engine works, using all the colors to make light, the Orion loses very little output when changing color temperatures. As a result, it outputs greater intensity than any bi-color light in the same wattage range, and can even rival daylight-only fixtures.
In addition to all that, it can simulate Lee and Rosco gels and create lighting effects like fire, police lights and so forth. Unlike other cob lights, the Orion doesn't have a separate power box that you need to attach to your light stand. Everything is contained in the head.
Our kit includes 2 Orion 675s, Prolycht's 10-inch fresnel and barn doors, and an assortment of reflectors and soft boxes, including the Prolycht 60-inch dome and 35-inch lantern.

6 x Quasar Crossfade 4ft 6-bank
Each of these fixtures contain six 4-foot Quasar Crossfade self-ballasted LED tubes. They are mounted in a Kino Flo 4ft/4bank fixture, but have been customized to be able to hold 6 tubes instead of the customary 4. Each tube can have its color temperature dialed in from 2000 Kelvin up to 6000.
Each tube can be removed from the fixture to be used individually for smaller lighting tasks. Each of these tubes has only 1/3 of a stop less output than a full Kino 4ft 4bank, so they are useful alone, and produce a massive amount of light when used together. Furthermore, they are dimmable, so they can be fine-tuned to the exact amount of output needed.
Each tube only consumes 50 watts of power at full output, so the whole fixture at maximum power only requires 300 watts, the same as an old fluorescent Kino Flo 4ft 4bank.
-
-
3 x Quasar Crossfade 2ft 6-bank
Just like the 4-foot banks above, these 2-foot fixtures consist of a Kino Flo shell customized to hold 6 Quasar Crossfade tubes. Each tube can be removed from the fixture and used independently, each can have their color temperature dialed in from 2000 to 6000 Kelvin, and each is dimmable.
2-foot Quasar Crossfades only require 25 watts of power per tube at full power, so the whole fixture with 6 tubes inside only requires 150 watts.
-
-
4 x Nanlite PavoTube 30C - 4ft RGBW LED tubes
These 4-foot RGB tubes from Nanlite each contain their own internal battery and can run for hours, depending on the intensity they are set to, without being plugged into the wall. They can be mounted on tube clamps and attached to a c-stand or just taped to the wall or hand-held depending on the situation. If the battery does run out, they can be plugged in and go all day.
We have egg crate grids for each of the tubes, as well as single- and double-tube clamps with baby pins for mounting. These lights are incredibly versatile and mobile, and we use them on virtually every shoot.
-
-
4 x Nanlite PavoTube 15C - 2ft RGBW LED tubes
Each of these 2-foot tubes can be tuned to any color of RGB light or any temperature of white light from 2700K-6500K. They can run off of internal batteries or wall power.
-
2 x Nanlite PavoTube II 6C 10" RGBWW LEDs
These tiny tube lights have internal batteries and can also run off of house power or off a standard USB-C power bank. They have magnetic ends and can therefore just stick to a steel surface. They also come with small screw in tripods that make them stand upright. Each one has a removable egg-crate to control spill. They can emit white light from 2700K to 6500K, and are fully RBG tunable.
-
1 x Aputure B7c RGB light bulb
This RGB bulb can run off of its own internal battery or be plugged into a standard Edison light socket to run off mains and recharge. We have a cabled light socket with the light to be able to charge it or rig it according to your needs.
-
1 x Nanlite Forza 500
The Nanlite Forza 500 is a daylight balanced COB light. The head is very compact and only weighs about 5 pounds, but it still outputs as much light as some 1200 watt HMIs. It's perfect for rigging out on a menace arm or some other place where weight and size are an issue.
-
-
2 x Intellytech Light Canon Pro LED Fresnel
These 5600K daylight balanced fresnels have an output similar to a 2K tungsten light. Unlike tungsten, however, they do not run hot, they are fully dimmable without any change in color, and they only require about 400 watts each to power.
Each fixture includes a standard set of barn doors and a soft box.
-
-
4 x Intellytech F-165 LED Fresnel
These 5600K daylight balanced fresnels consume only 165 watts at full power, yet have output comparable to a 1K tungsten fixture. They produce no heat and are fully dimmable without color shift. Each includes a set of barn doors.
-

The FS700 uses Sony's proprietary S-Log 2 to capture footage with a substantial dynamic range of 14 stops. The Odyssey 7Q+ can record that footage in cinema DNG files, or in ProRes if limited hard drive space is a concern.

Manfrotto single stage tripod with 114MV Cine/Video Dolly
This doesn't provide the smoothest ride, as it's just a set of wheels that mounts right onto your spike-footed tripod. Nevertheless, it's rather nice when on a sound stage or at a location with a smooth, flat floor to have your jib sitting on top of it when it's time to move to the next setup.
