Q: 1. How do you attach this snap on diffusor to the Bee 50c?

A: This diffuser snaps into place.

Q: 2. Would this allow you to use aputure spotlight attachments on profits heads?

A: You could use the HIVE LIGHTING Profoto to Bowens Adapter to use Bowen mount adapters on Profoto lights. But note the Aputure spot attachment is designed best for led lights. And depending on the Profoto light the modeling light could be too hot.

Q: 3. Did they fix the poor cri issue with new firmware?

A: CRI cannot be corrected by a firmware update. It is a hardware issue concerning the quality and/or combination of the lamps/bulbs in the unit. That being said, the HIVE LIGHTING Wasp 100-C Omni-Color LED Light Kit has a listed CRI of 98 and a TLCI of 97. With 100 being the best possible score, the HIVE LIGHTING Wasp 100-C LED Light has one of the highest CRI ratings for an LED light fixture.

Q: 4. Any info as to output photometrics?

A: 1,938LUX at 5 feet.

Q: 5. Is the dmx 3 or 5 pin?

A: This light uses a 5 pin DMX connection.

Q: 6. Will this work with Profoto B10x as it is shorter?

A: Yes, the HIVE LIGHTING Profoto to Bowens Adapter is compatible with the Profoto B10x. However, it is not ideal because of the B10x's shorter head. The adapter could work well when using 7" honeycomb grids or snoots, but it may not distribute the light inside of a softbox in the most ideal way.

Q: 7. Does this let you to slide the head freely through the adapter? I have 1 that stops the head well short of the bowens opening.

A: No, not all Bowens mount reflectors and modifiers will function fully or ideally depending on the physical characteristics of each individual optic being used.

Q: 8. Would this also work with the Profoto A10 speedlite? Can't justify spending $600+ on a octane soft box that doesn't open quickly or easily, when I already have a Bowens mount one that takes 2 seconds to set up.

A: The Profoto OCF Adapter for A1, A1X, and A10 Studio Lights, BH# PROCFA would be needed in order to fit the Hive Lighting Profoto to Bowens Adapter with the Profoto A10. https://bhpho.to/2L4Uuhk

Q: 9. Is there an option to run this on battery-power instead of ac?

Q: 10. are there any video tutorials showing how i can use this light as a background light for video interviews...ie gobo projections (in/or or out of focus), scatter gels etc...how would this work? similar to the dedolight projection attachment...is it possible with this light? I would rather buy this than an expensive dedo....

A: Unfortunately, there aren't any video tutorials specifically on these fixtures when used as a background light. While you cannot use a projection lens with this fixture other than the dedicated lenses for it, you can use a cucoloris pattern in front of the light to produce a break up pattern against the background. One such product is the Matthews Cucoloris - 24x36 - Wood B&H # MACW2436 which can be held up by a C-stand such as the Matthews Hollywood Century C Stand Grip Head Kit, Black - 10.5' (3.2m) B&H # MALSC40HWB in front of the Wasp 100-C.
