Bold Contrast. Beautiful Softness.
The Creamsource Vortex4 and Vortex4 Soft bring powerful, versatile LED lighting to professional cinematography. Featuring advanced 1×1 RRGBBW colour technology, the Vortex4 delivers exceptional colour accuracy, a wide 2200K–15000K CCT range, and four independently controllable pixel zones for dynamic lighting effects.
The Vortex4 produces intense, directional hard light, perfect for dramatic shadows, striking highlights, and precise illumination through diffusion or bounce. The Vortex4 Soft creates beautifully even, full-spectrum illumination with a wide 110° beam angle, ideal for natural skin tones, atmospheric scenes, and cinematic softness.
Built for demanding film productions, both fixtures feature rugged IP65-rated weather protection, ensuring reliable performance in rain, snow, and dusty environments. Together, they offer the creative flexibility, colour consistency, and efficiency needed for everything from intimate scenes to large-scale lighting setups.
