The Creamsource Vortex24 (Model # K-CSV-24-ESS) is a high-powered 2x3 LED hard panel designed for professionals who require expansive coverage and powerful output. With 1950W of RRGBBW LED power, the Vortex24 is ideal for large-scale lighting applications, providing the equivalent output of a 2kW HMI Fresnel. This fixture features an impressive CCT range from 2200K to 15000K, allowing for precise control over color temperature and lighting effects. With 24 directional pixel zones, the Vortex24 offers the ability to create dynamic lighting effects, such as mimicking the flicker of fire or smooth transitions of motion. Its 20° beam angle produces an outstanding 90,000 lumens and 27,560 lux at 3 meters (5600K, Naked), providing powerful intensity and uniform coverage across large areas.
Built for demanding environments, the Vortex24 is IP65-rated, ensuring water and dust resistance. This robust construction guarantees reliable performance even in adverse weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for both indoor and outdoor shoots. With its efficient design, the Vortex24 draws 1950W, compatible with standard circuits and featuring a "House Power" mode that allows it to operate on 15A circuits. The fixture includes a built-in ballast for easier storage and transport, optimizing workflows during setup and teardown. Additionally, the dual front-mount filter rails provide a quick and easy way to attach diffusers and accessories, with the Vortex24 coming with a medium flat diffuser as part of the kit.
Networking and control options are made simple with dual EtherCON ports and a Gigabit switch, which enables single-cable daisy-chaining of units for efficient setup in large arrays. The Vortex24's user-friendly interface features a high-precision digital magnetic encoder, a backlit keypad, and a color LCD display for easy operation. With the integration of LumenRadio TimoTwo, Bluetooth, 5-pin DMX, USB Type A, and the Creamsource Accessory port, the Vortex24 offers extensive control options for integrating with various third-party instruments and protocols. The fixture also supports high-speed modes, providing flicker-free operation up to 5000fps, making it perfect for high-end cinematic applications. With a 5-year warranty upon registration, the Vortex24 promises long-term reliability and exceptional performance for any lighting professional.
