Why plasma?
Plasma combines the daylight balance and high output of HMIs with the energy efficiency, reliability and durability of LEDs, but exceeds both in colour rendering and spectrum. Plasma emitters use a single point-source bulb, with no electrodes or filaments. Instead, the quartz bulb is filled with a blend of noble gases and metal salts to make an inert gas. When this gas is excited it shifts its state of matter from gas to plasma, which results in an incredibly powerful light source. All Hive plasma lights save energy without compromising light output or colour quality.

BEE 250 - an "open-face"-style solution
Hive Lighting’s Bee Plasma Flood is Hive’s first “open face”- style lighting solution using only 276 watts but producing virtually no heat in the beam.

Using a single unique plasma bulb, a micro-star, the Bee's proprietary reflector system focuses on the centre 50 degrees before tapering to an 100 degree flood providing a flood light that can throw to long distances with a sharp, single shadow.

Fitting four-point and eight-point softboxes, photo umbrellas, and a traditional glass Fresnel lens, makes it a tool for both motion and still image production.

Weighing around 4kgs, it is both easily transportable and simple to set up and breakdown on-the-go.

Adjustable colour temperature between 4,600K and 6,500K CCT (plus moonlight VFX) and easily powered with 90-300VAC or 18-38VDC BEE 250 provides a flicker free, 30,000 hour bulb life, vibration and impact resistance, and is capable of producing output twice as bright as LEDs, four times brighter than fluorescents and five times brighter than incandescents, all from a single point source bulb.
