The SUMOLIGHT SUMOLASER was announced last week, and we had the chance to take a first look at it during Cine Gear 2022. The least we can say is that this one-of-its-kind LED laser with a 2.6° beam angle and an output of 150.000 lux at 100m opens many new creative possibilities for filmmakers. So let’s take a closer look at it! German manufacturer SUMOLIGHT is well-known for making unique LED lights like the SUMOSPACE+, SUMOSKY, or even the SUMOMAX that we saw during NAB 2022. The concept behind SUMOLIGHT products is that you can combine as many fixtures as you wish – or can power/rig – to make an extensive array of light. The newest SUMOLIGHT SUMOLASER is no different than its predecessors: you can combine as many lights as you wish. But, with a single-light output similar to an ARRIMAX 18/12 HMI, one SUMOLASER already gives you plenty of light to work with. SUMOLIGHT SUMOLASER features The SUMOLIGHT SUMOLASER is a reasonably compact light head that measures only 20.4 x 19.4 x 19.2mm / 8.03 × 7.65 × 7.56″ for a weight of 3.2Kg/6.6lbs.

Each point source has an extremely narrow beam angle of 2.6° and a fixed daylight color temperature of 5.800K. However, the main advantage of such a narrow beam angle is that you get a massive light output of around 150.000 lux at a distance of 100m/328ft. Also, the power consumption...
