New from Fiilex are the G9 Color, its largest profile light to date, and the MotoK40, a 3600W moving-head LED punch light for film, live events and virtual sets.
The G9 is a high output 400W fixture, tailored for cinema production. At its core is Fiilex’s patented Dense Matrix LED, offering greater creative control, with a 2000K-10000K CCT range and multiple professional colour modes.
The ellipsoidal fixture has a 360° rotating barrel and IP-X5 water-resistance, while its 19° and 36° lens tubes should deliver a bright, even beam with no colour fringing.
The MotoK40 delivers tuneable CCT (2000K–10000K) and precise green/magenta adjustment for consistent, cinema-quality output. The fixture supports rich colour rendering across HSI, RGBW and CIExy modes, with smooth 100–0% flicker-free dimming.
It is rain resistant for outdoor use, while interchangeable lenses and slide-in accessories offer flexible beam shaping. Its motorised yoke provides 540° pan and 300° tilt with 16-bit control.
