Nanlux is revolutionizing the lighting industry with the introduction of its cutting-edge FE30 and BE55 Parallel Beam Reflectors. These innovative reflectors are designed to elevate your cinematography game, offering unparalleled versatility and performance. But what sets them apart, and why should you care? Let's dive in and explore the features that make these reflectors a game-changer.
Parallel Beam Power
Imagine having a lighting setup that can adapt to any environment, providing natural-looking illumination in tight spaces and detailed spots. The FE30 and BE55 are engineered to deliver just that. With an 8° beam angle, they concentrate light into a near-parallel beam, boosting efficiency and ensuring high-intensity illumination. This is a game-changer for small sets or detailed scenes, where every detail matters.
Enhanced Illuminance, Longer Throw
When combined with the NANLUX Evoke 150C or Evoke 600C, these reflectors deliver incredible output. The FE30 boosts output by approximately 12.1 times (5600K, @3m), while the BE55 achieves an impressive 23.4 times greater output (5600K, @5m). This increased illuminance compensates for long-distance falloff, allowing you to place fixtures further away on set for a more natural look.
Compact Design, Minimal Weight
Portability is key, and these reflectors excel in that department. Made from lightweight materials, they are easy to handle with one hand, reducing the burden on operators during setup, use, and transport. The FE30 measures a compact 30 cm (11.81″) in diameter and weighs only 1.38 kg (3.04 lb), while the BE55 is slightly larger at 55 cm (21.65″) and weighs 5.56 kg (12.26 lb).
Minimizing Light Spill
To ensure optimal beam quality, the FE30 and BE55 are equipped with an internal grid and an external snoot. This design minimizes light spill, creating a more defined and controlled light output. The pre-installed snoot is an all-in-one solution, ready for immediate use, making setup a breeze.
Weatherproof Protection
Nanlux understands the demands of the film industry, and these reflectors are built to withstand harsh environments. Both the FE30 and BE55 offer IP66 all-weather protection, ensuring reliable operation even in challenging conditions. The transparent optical cover at the front prevents dust and insects from entering, maintaining the reflectors' long-term light quality.
Versatile Compatibility
The FE30 is designed for FE mount and FM mount fixtures, while the BE55 supports BE mount and Bowens mount fixtures up to 800W. This versatility ensures that you can integrate these reflectors seamlessly into your existing lighting setup.
Pricing and Availability
The FE30 Parallel Beam Reflector is priced at $225 USD, and the BE55 Parallel Beam Reflector costs $665 USD, excluding local taxes. Both are now shipping and are on display at the InterBEE show in Japan this week. Don't miss out on the opportunity to experience these game-changing reflectors in action!
