Full-Colour RGB Lighting
The Matrix II RGBW is the first full-colour RGB lighting fixture from Fiilex. It features four control modes: CCT, HSI, RGBW & Gel presets. Rather than a single chip, the Matrix II RGBW has multiple chips, each with a specific portion of the hue wavelength to produce a deeper range of hues. These chips are positioned into four dense Matrix LED clusters in a custom-designed reflecting chamber which is then enclosed by a layer of diffusion.
The Matrix II RGBW is white balance tunable between 2800-6500K. If you don’t need full-colour RGB, you can opt for the Matrix II Tunable White that is tunable from 2,800-10,000K.
Optional Accessories
Fiilex has a number of optional accessories to compliment the Matrix light including a speed ring, Matrix softbox, barn doors and Fresnel adaptor
The fixture is compatible with light banks from Chimera as well as DoP Choice when using the speed ring accessory (FLXA088). It can also be used as a front-focused light with the optional Quad-Fresnel, which increases beam intensity by 3x.
