The new Maxima 7 LEDs

Maxima has just launched its new Maxima 7 LED lighting system, designed to provide sunlight for high speed photography and professional photography. To give us a quick idea, it could be compared to an HMI, but in a smaller and more compact size capable of matching the power of 1200W. It thus becomes the first LED device with a single beam of light capable of matching the power of an HMI PAR 1200.

Its reduced size makes it a perfect complement for small recording equipment, where versatility and comfort are sought when working with this type of lighting. It has been developed with the latest technology to manage thermal control and have a more efficient light emission.

Among the main features of maxima 7, we find that it has a single point of light that allows us to create sharp and defined shadows, although the light beam can vary between 16 and 60 degrees. To adjust the light to each scene, it has a 10-inch fresnel lens and focusing system to adjust the light beam to our needs. Maxima 7 has a color temperature of 5600K precisely to simulate sunlight, according to its manufacturers.

Although it does not achieve exactly the same power as an HMI, it is very little, it is true that the power consumption is greatly reduced, consuming 700W of power. The manufacturers have managed to find a system that prevents flickering during illumination up to 10,000 fps. How do they achieve this? Thanks to the Cortex M7 CPU, which is responsible for regulating the frequency of light so that it is constant and regular, as well as the temperature.

As for the design, it has been designed to last over time. It is built in a strong and resistant aluminum and polycarbonate structure. It also allows remote control of basic settings through a mobile application.

No release date has been announced yet, but it is available for pre-order through the Maxima.
