The blackHIVE LIGHTING Bee 50-C Fresnel Omni-Color LED Light Blackfrom HIVE LIGHTING Bee 50-C Fresnel Omni-Color LED Light Blackis a versatile 1.5 lb LED light source that measures just 5" in length and 4" in diameter making it a great choice for tight spaces with minimal support requirements. The light has a 15-50-degree beam spread for flooding out a silk or for long throw work and selective lighting. The beam can be further modified by the included 4-way barndoors.

Control is the key word in the construction of the 50-C. Hive uses Perfect S.H.O.T. controls, a propietary term for complete control and adjustment of every aspect of light output. Part of the success of the system is due to the use of 5-LED chip blending. Instead of the traditional three colors, Hive uses red, amber, lime, cyan, and sapphire for nearly infinite color combinations with a high CRI/TLCI rating of 98 and 97. Color can be adjusted from a very warm amber 1650K to an icy blue 8000K. But control doesn't stop there. There's 360-degree hue adjustment around the color wheel, as well as 0 to 100% saturation control. The 50-C can also be dimmed from 0 to 100%. While these adjustments can be made manually, you can also make them remotely via your smartphone or onboard wired or wireless DMX. Thanks to its 100 to 240 VAC power supply, the 50-C is ready for worldwide use; but it will also run on optional 12, 14.4, or 14.8V batteries (60Wh or higher) when mains power is unavailable

Adjustable Spot-to-Flood    Omni-Color LEDs: 1650 to 8000K    360° Hue, 0 to 100% Saturation    0-100% Dimming, 98 CRI / 97 TLCI    100 to 240 VAC Power Supply    Manual, DMX, or Smartphone Control    1/4"-20 Baby Pin, 1/4"-20 Baby Receiver    200 to 300W Incandescent Equivalent

The 50-C has 0-100% saturation adjustment, 360° hue control, output control from 0-100%, and color temperature control from 1650 to 8000K for nearly infinite combinations for precise color balance.

The 50-C uses red, amber, lime, cyan and sapphire LEDs instead of the traditional 3 color system to achieve a high CRI/TLCI of 98/97 to render colors faithfully with no output loss or color degradation.

The Bee 50-C uses just 40W to produce light output comparable to a 300W incandescent. Its 5" length and multiple mounting points allow for easy rigging to cameras, drones, practicals, stages, and sets. The 50-C can run off a battery or universal wall power.

The 50-C's functions can be controlled manually (locally) or remotely via your smartphone or DMX.

The 50-C is 5" long and weighs just 1.5 lb.

Q: 1. Are there photometrics for this light with the fresnel attachment?

A: The fresnel attachment would provide a 15-50 degree beam spot to flood.

Q: 2. I see no dials or display on the back of the light in the photo. Is this only controllable through the app?

A: Yes, it is designed to be able to accept Profoto modifiers.

Q: 4. 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. How is the noise level? Does it seem to affect the audio recording?

A: From what we have seen, the fan is very silent on this light. It would be an ideal light for video recording in that sense.

Q: 10. Why would I get the 22 degree spot versions if i can get the spot to flood? Is there a disadvantage with the spot to flood version?

A: One of the main advantages of the C-Series lights is that they work with dozens of reflectors and hundreds of accessories, and while this provides tons of flexibility, there are pros and cons to each reflector. Here are the most popular versions you are asking about:Hornet 200-C Super Spot - This provides the tightest beam (22 deg) and most amount of punch for the light. It creates a Parabolic beam type of output and can be used as a bounce or long throw. It can also be modified with optional drop in lenses.Hornet 200-C Adjustable Fresnel - The Fresnel version provides the ability to spot and flood the fixture quickly and easily without changing the reflector. While the 15-50 degree beam spread provides a much wider range than the Spot Reflector, the glass itself (like all glass) does block a higher percentage of the light than the Spot Reflector.So for maximum output choose the spot, and for maximum flexibility choose the fresnel.Also, since virtually all of the reflectors, fresnels, softboxes and other optical accessories are all interchangeable throughout the C-Series line, you can mix and match to get these exact output and beam shape that you are looking for.I hope that answers your question!
