Cineo Lighting and Litegear™ have teamed
up to develop the Matchstix series of small,
linear Remote Phosphor light sources.
Matchstix operate from any DC power source
from 11 to 18 VDC, including many battery
options. The power connection uses 5.5mm
x 2mm co-ax DC power connector Matchstix
are available in 3”, 6” and 12” lengths and
draw approximately 100mA per inch of
length. Matchstix are optimized for flawless,
flicker-free control with Litegear dimmers.
Like all Cineo soft lights, Matchstix allow the
user to change the Remote Phosphor panels,
supporting CCT of 2700K, 3200K, 4300K and
5600K. Their color quality perfectly matches
all other Cineo softlights, with CRI ratings of
90-98, depending on color temperature. The
back side of all Matchstix features a standard
cold-shoe slot running the entire length of the
fixture for limitless mounting options virtually
anywhere.
Rather than traditional diffusion to soften the
light source, the light actually emits from the
Remote Phosphor panels on the front of the
fixture, providing a light characteristic that
radiates equally in a 160° radius, providing
Matchstix the ability to “wrap” your subject
with soft light with edgeless shadows.
The phosphor panels are excited by blue
LEDs, which are automatically turned off
when the phosphor panels are removed.
The color temperature of Matchstix is
extremely consistent fixture to fixture, and
will not change over time like other lighting
technologies.
Matchstix are extremely durable, built to last
with anodized alloy construction, flexible
polycarbonate panels, and field-serviceable
components. Power supply and dimming
options include both local and DMX control,
connecting to the lamphead with up to 25’
(7.5m) of cable.
Cineo Matchstix are perfect for any film or
television project, in the studio or on location,
or anywhere flicker-free, color-accurate
softlight is required.
