It is interesting to see that after the acquisition of Prolycht by Aputure, the Prolycht Orion 675 FS LED with Case is on sale for $2,495 USD, which is a massive saving of $1,300 USD.
The Prolycht Orion 675 FS LED is an outstanding fixture and you can see my in-depth review of it here.

The Orion 675 FS uses RGBACL, just like the ARRI Orbiter. The Orion 675FS and Oribiter don’t use any white LEDs, instead, they are mixing all of those different color LEDs to produce white light. Hive Lighting has also been using 7 LED-chip blending. Instead of the traditional 3 colors, Hive uses red, amber, lime, cyan, green, blue, and sapphire. The advantage RGBACL has over RGBWW is that it is capable of giving you a larger CCT range and it can produce more saturated colors with more output. RGBWW lights tend to struggle to create saturated colors like yellow and they don’t always have as much output when generating saturated colors. They can also have a large drop-off in output at different CCT settings.
Now, if you are worried about buying this fixture given the company’s acquisition by Aputure you shouldn’t be. Prolychy will still provide after-sales support and service and thee are still new firmware updates coming.
