TP Series Pixel RGB Tubes

The recently announced TP Pixel tubes are a popular addition to the KNOWLED professional range of LEDs, offering the next step up from the popular TL Series RGB Tubes. However, the Pixel Tubes are even more innovative than first meets the eye!

Unlike the TL series, the TP tubes are formed of pixel LED lighting, which gives the lighting a whole new look, and can also be programmed, using mapping software, to display images and lighting patterns that the TL series, for example, cannot. This will allow lighting departments to tailor the lighting to replicate all sorts of effects efficiently on a closed set.

This kind of feature is particularly useful for situations such as matching practical effects with different shots and angles if you need to replicate the same lighting perfectly every time.

The TP series has been announced in 3 different sizes: the TP2R, the TP4R & the TP8R, each coming in at 2ft, 4ft, and 8ft respectively. Yes, that's 8ft tall; 2.4 metres!

With a variable colour temperature of between 2000K and 10,000K as well as 360 selectable hues, the possibilities are virtually endless. With a plethora of professional control options including DMX, Wireless CRMX, and LumenRadio, the KNOWLED TP series pixel tubes can be easily integrated into any professional rig with ease.

It has a CRI and TLCI of ≥96 for impeccable colour rendition, flicker free performance, and a selectable beam angle of between 45° and 55°.

The P600Bi supports Industry-Standard DMX512 and CRMX control protocols, as well as Godox’s own RC-R9 2.4GHz Wireless Remote ideal for large productions, and Godox App compatibility.

With a lux rating of approximately 80,700 @1m, 8,810lx at 3m, 36,80 at 5m and 1,290 at 9m bare light, the P600Bi has no trouble illuminating larger spaces, and the brightness can be adjusted via ultra-precise dimming controls, in increments of 0.1% up to 10%, allowing you to the exact brightness designed with the utmost precision.

C7R, C10R RGBWW Smart LED Bulbs

The Godox KNOWLED CR LED Light Bulbs are cinematic RGBWW E27 bulbs perfect for cinematographers, filmmakers and lighting gaffers that require a high CRI light bulb for setting up practical set lighting.

Comprising currently of the C7R and the C10R bulbs, they feature a HSI mode, which enables you to adjust the hue and saturation, giving you access to virtually any colour you can think of. It also has a CCT mode, enabling you to adjust the colour temperature of the light anywhere between 2500K and 5800K enabling you to match the light to the colour temperature of your ambient lighting. They also have a CRI of 96+ and a TLCI of 97+, making them suitable for broadcast usage.

With a handy built-in battery, these bulbs don't even need to be connected to an E27 bulb fitting to work, and can be placed wherever needed for easy practical lighting solutions!
