Fomex FL-600: Flexible Proves Popular

Since its introduction at the beginning of the year, the Fomex FL-600 Flexible LED lighting kit (FL-600-KIT) has quickly become the most popular flexible LED light in the UK.

Designed for both filmmakers and stills photographers, the FL-600 redefines expectations for LED lighting, delivering all the performance of regular lighting fixtures in a lightweight, thin and flexible form-factor.

As as a flexible LED light, the FL-600 can be moulded and placed directly into obscure positions and crevices – locations where traditional lighting cannot be used. Using velcro or even gaffer tape, the LED mats can easily be adhered to walls and windows – curved or otherwise.

The LED mat itself weighs just 387g. This not only opens-up options when travelling, but creates new opportunities during operation. For example, using the optional boompole (FL-BP), the light can be manoeuvred above the talent’s head for a controllable spotlight effect.

As well as being totally flexible, the FL-600 can operate just the same as regular lighting fixtures. With the included 'X-Mount', the FL-600 can directly attach to light stands and other lighting grip that use a standard 16mm spigot.

With an IP64 rain and dust protection rating, the FL-600 is a true location-agnostic solution. Whether operated in a dusty workshop or out in the rain, the FL-600 LED light mat is built for operation in demanding environments.

Solidifying its position as a professional option, the FL-600 controller features an integrated V-Mount battery plate. With a battery connected, the system becomes a lightweight, mobile setup, with just a single cable connecting the controller to the LED light. The cable connector utilises a secure twist locking mechanism, which snaps instantly into place and holds firmly. To remove, just rotate the connector and pull.

Its light output matches or beats other 1'x1' lighting fixtures in its class, delivering a maximum of 2100 LUX at 1 meter. A colour temperature range of 3200°K to 5600°K allows the light to mix with and adjust with varying light sources.

Most impressively, the FL-600 has been tested in accordance with the Television Lighting Consistency Index (TLCI), scoring a near-perfect 98 out of 100.

TLCI is a colour accuracy test, and with a score of 98, the output can be considered a virtual mimic of natural light sources. In the real-world, this ensures that colour reproduction is true-to-life, making post-production and colour grading much easier.

Affordably priced and covered by a two year warranty, Fomex's Flexible LED light mats offer an overall package that cannot be matched by any lighting fixture available on the market today.
