Cineo Matchbox compact remote phosphor light

Description

The Matchbox on-camera light from VariZoom uses Cineo’s acclaimed line of cinematic lighting technology. Cineo Matchbox lights have been used on countless films such as Gone Girl, The Martian, Ant-Man, and The Jungle Book. The interchangeable LED remote phosphor panels generate the most accurate color for a variety of shooting conditions and create a powerful, broadly-dispersed light source. Contrary to the obvious assumption, these panels do not filter light – instead, the Matchbox’s internal blue LEDs excite the phosphor panel, which itself emits soft, color-stable light from the broad, uniform surface. The Cineo Matchbox kit includes 3200K and 5600K panels, but optional 2700K and 4300K panels are also available.

The onboard dimmer allows extremely fine adjustment of luminous output without any change in color temperature. The Cineo Matchbox is utterly silent and flicker-free at any level. The unit comes standard with an AC adapter (6ft line cord, 12ft of output cord), but it can also be powered from a variety of batteries 6-26VDC using our back-mount Sony NP-F battery plate or D-tap cable. A standard 1/4″-20 female socket on the base of the unit allows for a range of mounting options, and a selection of light-control accessories are available, including barn doors, louvers, and softboxes. The Matchbox works perfectly as an on-camera light or in a variety of fill, accent and tabletop lighting applications.
