DMX Output
The PIXAPRO VNIX LED1000S Twin kit, is comprised of 2x 64w LED Video Light Panels featuring 1040 bright LEDs dimmable from 100-10% power. The VINIX LED1000S LED panels is have a colour temperature of 5600K which is similar to Daylight. The VNIX LED1000S also comes with slide in colour correction gel filters which enables you to match the lighting to different lighting environments. The PIXAPRO® VNIX LED1000S also features a set of Barn Doors, which gives you the ability to control the angle of the beam.
This VNIX LED1000S panel features a user friendly interface, with a digital display that tells you the current power level of the lights. The brightness can be controlled by either the dimmer dial located at the back of the unit, or by a 2.4GHz wireless radio remote control. The VNIX LED1000S features a DMX output which enables you to control it from a DMX control console, which is great for larger shooing productions.
The VNIX LED1000S has an industry standard V-Mount battery plate which gives you the option of using an external V-mount battery pack, giving you the ability to work on location away from Mains power. They can also be powered by the supplied AC adapter for when shooting in the vicinity of mains power.
LED lights can last up to ten times longer than CFL lights and many time longer than Tungsten lights. They are also more energy efficient using 1/3 to 1/30 of the energy consumed by fluorescent or incandescent lights. LED lights also run cooler as they convert around 90 percent of the energy consumed into light as opposed to tungsten lights where the majority of the energy is converted into heat. This makes the shooting environment a lot more comfortable for your subject, and will also reduce air conditioning costs as LED lights don’t really contribute to heat build-up. Since LED lights are solid and don’t contain a fragile filament, they are also less susceptible to impact damage. LEDs can last for up to 50,000 hours which is 5-10 time longer than CFL bulbs, and many time longer than tungsten bulbs.
The VNIX LED1000S panel can be mounted onto any light stand, boom or Hi-Glide system with a standard 5/8” spigot via a yoke bracket which enables you to tilt your light on a 360° axis. It also features a set of barn doors giving you maximum control over the direction of light.
The VNIX LED1000S twin kit is the perfect solution for both your video and photographic lighting needs, whether you are in the studio or on location.

Q&A’s
The Dimmer on my VNIX LED panel doesn’t seem to be working. Is there a fault with my unit?
- There is a switch located at the back of each VNIX panel labelled “DMX”. If the switch is set to the “on” position, switch it back to the “off” position, and this should solve the problem. When the DMX switch is set to the on position, it disables the dimmer controls on the back of the unit, in favour of a connected DMX Console.
I am having trouble using my VNIX Remote Control. Can you please help me?
- Press the menu button (
) on the Remote control to cycle through different modes, and then use the (+) and (-) buttons to adjust the values. Please see list below to see what the diffent modes do:
- The first mode (Red Light) is used to control the brightness of the light.
- The second mode (Orange Light) is used to control the colour temperature of the light (Bi-Colour Models Only).
- The third mode (No Light) is used to change the channel that you are controlling.
The dimmer does not work on the panel, is this normal?
- The VNIX LED1000S features a DMX output which enables you to control it from a DMX control console, with this feature on you will not be able to control the panels dimmer dial as this will be done with the DMX console. If you would like to use the panels dimmer dial you will need to turn this off, this should then allow you to control the unit from the back panel.

PiXAPRO VNIX LED1000S Daylight LED Panel Twin Kit With DMX Output
I can reccomend this product
PHA Broadcast User Review
The hallmark of a company has to be measured by the after sales service, which is why
Pixapro is right up there with the very best.
And so too is the equipment they sell. When PHA Broadcast decided to upgrade their
LED lighting kit Pixapro were the company they turned to and for good reason, the price and build quality are excellent.
PHA, who have made programme's for a lot of the leading broadcasters, were looking for LED panel lighting that could work effortlessly in both studio and location scenarios and for that they looked no further than the Pixapro VNIX LED 1000S.
This rugged 1000 led panel light (there's actually 1040 led's) with barn doors and a 32k CC filter, can be driven via the 12-24v power socket or a V-Lock battery. This unit is the Daylight Only model hence the supplied CC filter, however you could opt for the 1000B which is again 1000 led’s but is Bi Colour.
In the studio they aree powered via the supplied PSU which doesn't use a skimpy 3.5mm plug but instead employs a sturdy 2 pin socket which allows the plug from the PSU to be locked in place with a threaded cover which ensures the power cord stays exactly were it should – connected.
The CRI index is very high at 93 and with a dimming ratio of 10% to 100% and a lcd digital readout window, there is plenty of scope for getting the lighting just how you want it, which incidentally can be controlled by a 2.4GHz wireless radio remote control. There is also a DMX output to make adjustments through a DMX console.
We found the LED's to be much brighter than the previous 900 version and their longevity is impressive at 50,000 hours with a heat emission that is practically zero.
Size matters, and at 330mm x 210mm x 48.5mm they can operate in small areas while still providing a big output.
On location they travel very easy and light in the soft travel bag they are supplied with.
The V-lock attachment enables the lights to be battery operated in remote areas or simply by choice as a quick alternative power source.
The panels fit any standard 5/8 light stand spigot, and head adjustment tilt is simple and precise with the angle kept in position in a reliable no-nonsense way with the large wing nuts at each side.
PHA Broadcast bought several of these units but they are available as a singe item or in sets which offer great savings, and each unit has a further bonus of a full 2 year warranty.
Yang Wu and his team at Pixapro are great people to deal with either prior to ordering or, and perhaps more importantly, after purchasing. You won't be left high and dry afterwards by Pixapro and PHA Broadcast can vouch for that, they have given us an exceptional service.

LED Panel vs LED Head
When it comes to LED lighting, there are two designs which are the most common on the market. These are the LED Panel light and the LED Head light. Whilst both of these lights are designed to be incredibly useful and powerful, there are a few differences. In this Blog, we will look at these differences and help inform you as to which would best suit you, and we will use our VNIX1500S and LED100D MKIII as guides for this.
