5 CHIP LED COLOR BLENDING

The Bumble Bee 25-C uses LED omni-color technology. By using a combination of primary, secondary and tertiary colored LEDs (Red, Amber, Lime, Cyan, and Sapphire) Hive LEDs create a more complete and even spectrum than traditional RGBW. A proprietary algorithm combines the 5 different colors into brilliant white-balanced light and millions of saturated color combinations. While traditional color changing LEDs use 3 base colors or 2 “white” LEDs, Hive’s Bumble Bee 25-C has far higher color quality and far greater control than BiColor or RGB LEDs.

Full sized or mini Leko attachments are perfect for shaping light. The 25-C’s 100mm (4 inches) diameter also accepts all Profoto® accessories and Profoto® adapters for light modifiers from companies like Elinchrom®, Westcott®, Chimera® and many more. The possibilities are almost endless.
