An interview from the 2014 National Association of Broadcasters Convention in Las Vegas with Jon Miller of Hive Lighting. Hive Lighting products are engineered to be durable, lightweight and foolproof. They use 50% to 90% less energy than conventional studio fixtures. Their simple, rugged design makes them suitable for all types of production, whether on stages, studios or at remote locations. In this interview Jon talks with us about their newest light, the Bee Plasma Flood.
The Bee Plasma Flood is Hive Lighting’s first “open face”- style lighting solution. Using only 276 watts, it produces virtually no heat in the beam, while still delivering high-quality output that is comparable to any conventional fixture. This versatile unit weighs only 10 pounds, so it is both easily transportable and simple to set up and breakdown on-the-go. The Bee has a 100 degree field, with a unique reflector system that creates a bell curve of output distribution. The majority of the light is focused in the center 50 degrees before evenly tapering to a full 100 degree flood. The result is a flood light that can throw great distances, cast a sharp single shadow, and also function as a soft source with diffusion.
The Bee Plasma Flood is also the first fixture to introduce Hive’s Daylight Dial. Fully tunable color temperature (Kelvin) from 4600K – 7000K without any green/magenta shift. As well as the ability to shift all the way to a deep blue moonlight. The Daylight Dial allows the user to track the natural shift of the Sun over the course of a day and warm or cool a scene creatively without the use of gels.
