The Cinemills 300 watt tungsten incandescent Fresnel is the most flexible of all the kit lighting fixtures to choice from. At a mere 2.8 amps of 120v current, multiple units can be used on the smallest of circuit protected systems. A 3", wide-angle lens provides an even, flat beam field at extremely short distances and maintains a small footprint on set or in rigging conditions. It’s unusually light weight makes it easy to hang in quick location rigging scenarios, while maintaining a ‘punchy’ output. Despite the small size, the CMC 300w unit maintains all the quality and durability standards set forth by the larger members of our luminaire family. Barn doors and scrims sold separately.

The BRUTE 3 is the latest addition to the LEDZ product line, it is a versatile, lightweight, powerful light that can be used in many different applications.  With a color temp of 5500k and a full range spectrum, unmatched by our competitors, it has a circular beam, and a much longer range than other similar LED lighting solutions.  The BRUTE 3 is more than TWICE as powerful as our competitors and around HALF the price. The LEDZ BRUTE 3 will have an optional on board battery that will run the unit for an hour and a battery "Quick Pack" that will run the unit for 8 hours. The Quick Pack will also run the LEDZ MiniPar and BRUTE 9.  Several other optional accessories are available including a gel frame, handle, gooseneck adapter with baby-pin mount, etc.

 The LEDZ BRUTE 9® system provides an extremely bright, rectangular beam spread. The BRUTE 9 is a modular system and can be set up as a duo fixture with a conversion kit. The BRUTE 9 incorporates an on‑board dimmer for full intensity control. The BRUTE 9 is a perfect fixture for the 0-200w HMI lighting market.

A Closer Look at the CINEMILLS Sprinter Van

Last week, our creative team photographed the interior of the CINEMILLS Sprinter Van. Headed by; Michael McDivett (Director of Advertising), Russo Mutuc (Photographer), and Ruben Diaz (Gaffer)

Looking closely at the interior of the van, it's equipped with grip and the latest CMC technology - PAR-NEL (HMI), LEDZ, tungsten, generator, dollies, grip, expendables, and more! (Note: The van can also be customized to our clients needs.)

Using the Media Center, the team was able to bring in the van through the big sliding door, and work with controlled lighting through out the shoot. Just another fun and creative day in the office!

While setting up the van for the photoshot, the team was multitasking and getting it ready for Cine Gear 2014.

Come by booth 203, in Cine Gear 2014. Our Sprinter Van will be on-site to be showcased.
