Lighting manufacturer Aputure has acquired fellow lighting manufacturer Prolycht. Aputure describes the acquisition as a “strategic union” that will “fortify Aputure’s legacy” in film and TV lighting technology.
The acquisition comes with some great benefits for Aputure and its future products, including the Prolycht RGBLAC technology shown off in the Orion 675 FS (buy here). The terms of the acquisition have not been released.
“Maximum power, maximum colour”. That’s what Prolycht is saying about its new flagship light. Launched just today, DIYP caught up Mitch Gross from Prolycht to find out more about the brilliant Orion 675 FS.
The Prolycht Orion 675 FS LED full spectrum spotlight is built inside a single unit. It’s designed specifically for Film and TV professionals, and is frankly, a bit of a game changer. This light is really powerful, and we witnessed it lighting up the vast IBC Show ceiling with ease.
Popular LED lighting manufacturer, Dedo Weigart Film has launched a new RGBLAC LED light in collaboration with Prolycht. It’s the dedolight NEO Color full spectrum LED spotlight and it offers an 80w adjustable colour focusing spotlight in a dedolight form factor. It uses the RGBLAC Hyperlight Color Engine developed by Prolycht and combines it with Dedolight’s integrated optics for a 6:1 variable beam angle.
The Neo Color system is comprised of the Neo Color Lamphead (DLED7C), the DTneoC Ballast, a light shield ring and 8-leaf barndoors. A 3-metre cable connects the lamp to the NEO colour control unit, and it’s compatible with a number of dedolight optical accessories for the kind of light shaping control dedolight users will be used to.
Prolycht has announced its new Orion 675 FS full-spectrum colour LED spotlight, which it claims is the most powerful colour-tunable spotlight in the world. It uses a six-colour LED “Hyperlight Color” engine that mixes red, green, blue, amber, cyan and lime to create a wide colour gamut that Prolycht says “surpasses traditional RGBW or RGBWW technology” to produce “super accurate and pleasing” skin tones.
Set to 5600K, Prolycht says it’s brighter than a 1200 Watt HMDI and at 3200K it’s equal in output to a massive 5,000 Watt tungsten. When it comes to other LED spots on the market, it says that it’s brighter than a 600W daylight-0nly LED spot and three times brighter than any other manufacturer’s RGBLAC spotlight. Those are some pretty bold claims!
