Creamsource Launches Vortex2 Lighting: Compact 160W Fixtures With IP65
Creamsource has launched the Vortex2 and Vortex2 Soft, two new 160W compact LED fixtures designed for on-set adaptability with IP65 weather resistance and RRGBBW color management. These units leverage existing CreamOS workflows and offer features like daisy-chaining and a compact form factor for studio and on-set environments. Shipping for the new Vortex2 series is expected to begin in August.
Key Takeaways
- Creamsource launched Vortex2 (directional, 20° beam) and Vortex2 Soft (soft, 110° spread) as 160W additions to its Vortex LED lighting series.
- Both new fixtures feature IP65 weather resistance, CreamOS workflow integration, and RRGBBW color management via CCMS.
- The 6kg (without yoke) Vortex2 series offers daisy-chaining, pass-through DMX/power, and new rigging options like a center mount gooseneck.
- The units maintain color accuracy and consistency with other Vortex fixtures by operating natively in CIE xy color space.
Why It Matters
The introduction of smaller, IP65-rated 160W LED fixtures like the Vortex2 indicates a continuing industry trend towards more flexible and durable production equipment. For studios and on-set crews, these compact units offer increased agility for diverse shooting environments, from tight indoor spaces to challenging outdoor conditions, while maintaining color consistency with larger professional lighting setups. This expansion allows Creamsource to address more varied production needs by extending its ecosystem. Industry professionals should monitor the adoption rate of these smaller, interconnected fixtures as a proxy for evolving on-set lighting demands in diverse streaming content productions.
