The Spotlight Max converts your Light Storm 600W & above LEDs into precision tools that will increase your light throw with a wide selection of lenses, including an extensive lens library from ETC using the optional ETC Lens Adapter. The new projection adapter is optimized for the LS 600 & 1200 series and will produce clean and beautiful spots with our 19ª, 36º, and 50º lens choices, or pair your spotlight with your pre-existing Source Four lenses. It also includes a Rotating Gobo Holder to make positioning gobos hassle-free, and a rolling flight case that protects and transports your unit with ease.

Experience the full projection power of 600W+ light engines. The Spotlight Max is optimized for high-powered Bowens mount point source LED fixtures. When adapting fixtures such as the LS 600d and LS 1200d Pro to projection lights, users can take advantage of much higher output levels compared to the same fixtures paired with the original Spotlight Mount, thanks to improved optics.

Achieve optically precise, high-output projections with minimal distortion. Unlike cheaper projection lens mounts, the Spotlight Max cuts no corners when it comes to its optical design. Featuring telecentric optical elements, high-temperature anti-glare flocking in its lens assembly barrel, and texture treatments to the barrel’s inner walls, the Spotlight Max achieves optical clarity and reduces stray light leaks/reflections.

Using the separately available ETC Lens Adapter, users can pair their existing fleet of ETC lenses with the Spotlight Max to unlock more beam angle options including specialty lenses like 5º and 50º Source Four lenses. Previously only usable with HMI light engines, users can now take advantage of LED technology while using their ETC lenses. These advantages include dimmability, color tunability, and lower operating temperatures.

Increase your rigging flexibility by removing the detachable yoke. Users can choose to remove the yoke to use the Spotlight Max more conveniently on large fixtures such as the Electro Storm series lights. Alternatively, the detachable yoke can also increase rigging convenience, allowing users to rig the yoke in an underslung orientation first then coupling it with the Spotlight Max body last.

The CS15 & XT26 boast high SSI at high output with best-in-class color capabilities, meant for the most technically-demanding productions out there. The full color CS15 is a high-fidelity 1.8kW HMI-equivalent unit with 1585W of output and improved spectral continuity and light quality, reaching high color marks of 86+ in SSI (D56) and 89+ in SSI (Tungsten). Meanwhile, its bi-color brother XT26 cranks the intensity up to the level of an industry-standard 4kW HMI, with 2600W of output and Dynamic White CCT & Tint Control, allowing users to tune from 2,700K to 6,500K and adjust green/magenta. Both lights offer a rugged IP65-rated construction, a handcart for easy ballast transportation, and multiple control methods from Sidus Link to LumenRadio CRMX to Art-net & sACN protocols.

Of course, what’s a light without its lens? The F14 Fresnel is a fully-motorized 14-inch modifier that adjusts the beam from 18º to 50º and utilizes the all-new Aputure mount for power and data transfer. Because of that, it automatically calibrates and optimizes light output to the exact unit it is attached to, and is controllable via Sidus Link and DMX. The Motorized Yoke takes advantage of the detachable units have the ability to electronically pan 540º and tilt 270º and control over the same methods as the Fresnel.

The Ultimate Soft Light System. The INFINIMATs are now available and come in sizes from 1x2 up to 20x20. Unique to the INFINIMAT design are the included inflatable airbags, which provide structure to the lights, make them quick to setup, compact to store and easy to position while taking up a fraction of the space of traditional soft light rigs. The INFINIMATs are up to double the output of competitors of similar sizes. The Control Boxes can run multiple mats and the INFINIMATs can be used in a variety of configurations: with or without airbags, mounted to frames, hanging from above or strapped into place. Color tunability, IP65 weather resistance, full color pixel-control, and other features round out the versatility of the INFINIMAT family.

The small 1x2, 1x4 and 2x4 INFINIMATs pair with the 400w Control Box for portable kits that can run off battery power. The 4x4 and 8x8 INFINIMATs utilize the 1600w Control Box for a strong key or fill light. And the 20x20 is a system of four complete 8x8 INFINIMAT kits and a 20x20 airbag that ties them all together for a large softlight that can be rigged overhead or attached to rolling stands for a movable wall of light.
