The Super Hornet 575-C Open Face Omni-Color Led Light from Hive utilizes their seven-spectrum LED-light engine like a prism in reverse and translates into a wider color gamut, more accurate colors, and most importantly, full-spectrum, high-color rendition across the entire color temperature range. Hive's densest Omni-Color LED array yet blends seven different color strings to deliver precise full-spectrum white light and saturated color combinations at massive output levels. The seven-color array uses a combination of secondary and tertiary colored LEDs to create a more complete and even spectrum than traditional RGBW. Pick from billions of available custom colors or quickly switch between presets matched to historical sources, industry standard gels, and animated lighting EFX. Hive's tunable LED can imitate daylight, tungsten, fluorescent, neon, and almost infinite other sources. Adjust for different shooting situations by using white-light curve profiles engineered for different camera sensors to make sure color rendering is as accurate as possible, controlled by a proprietary algorithm that combines multiple different colors into a brilliant white-balanced light.

The free Hive SHOT App allows you to easily select colors and effects, and control lights individually or in groups to create limitless lighting possibilities. Access over 100 preset sources, gels, and animated lighting effects or build custom lighting palettes.

The 575-C is a bright point source with bayonet mounts on the face and Profoto accessory compatibility, easily move between a wide variety of light modifiers including reflectors, fresnels, soft boxes, beauty dishes, and more. Available accessory adapters allow modifiers from multiple manufacturers to be used with the light head.

Q: 8. If I wanted to use some sort of DC power distro, what would that be? To find a DC power source with enough amp output, I'd need to know if the max consumption of a 200-C 150W at 24V or 36V?

A: 150W at 24V is about 6 amps. 150W at 36V is just under 4 amps.

Q: 9. Why the power supply bracket is not included? I'm supposed to use it with the power supply(which is kinda heavy) in the middle of the air...

A: Hi Marco,The Power Supply Mounting Bracket is not included as a standard item because we have 2 separate ways to manage the location of the C-Series Power Supplies.1) Our Power Supply Mounting Bracket can be used to mount the Power Supply directly on the Head itself via the Yoke's Grenade Pin Mount, or used with a Mafer Clamp to mount to a stand : a href= https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1404624-REG/hive_lighting_hive_c_psmb_power_supply_mounting_bracket.html target= _blank https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1404624-REG/hive_lighting_hive_c_psmb_power_supply_mounting_bracket.html/a2) Our 4-Pin XLR Male to Female Extension Cable for Wasp 100-C LED Light (15') can be used to extend the header cable and place the power supply 15 feet further away from the head, allowing you to leave it on the ground or anywhere else away from the unit: a href= https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1335395-REG/hive_lighting_hive_xlr4p15_4_pin_xlr_male_to_female_extention.html target= _blank https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1335395-REG/hive_lighting_hive_xlr4p15_4_pin_xlr_male_to_female_extention.html/aSince all of different customers have different needs for where they would like the power supply, we have left both of these items out of the standard kit and have made them accessories.Thank you for support and do not hesitate to email info@hivelighting.com or call (310) 773-4362 with any more detailed questions.
