Flexible LED FL600/FL1200

The Flexible LED 600 is an LED studio light designed to address the limitations of conventional products through a flexible form factor that allows it to be shaped as needed. Its compact and lightweight design facilitates storage and transport, enabling use in a wide range of locations without spatial constraints. The Flexible LED 600 offers selectable color options, including daylight and tungsten, a high color rendering index (CRI) of 96+, and a maximum output of 2,000 lux at 1 meter. It is equipped with a digital dimmer that enables precise light adjustment from 0% to 100% for controlled diffusion. With an IP64 rating for water resistance and flicker-free performance, the device is suited for high-quality video production and reflects ongoing trends toward greening, smart technology, and convergence.

The Flexible LED 1200 maintains the flexible design of its predecessor while offering enhanced performance, with a color temperature of up to 6500K and a luminous output of up to 4,000 lux. Designed with hybrid technology, the Flexible LED 1200 is a compact lighting system optimized for both indoor and outdoor use. It is lightweight, has a small bending radius, and a thin profile, allowing it to adapt to various work environments and meet a wide range of user requirements regardless of location.

The Fomex D series is a long-standing and popular line of digital strobes favored by consumers. The Fomex Dp, with its sophisticated design, incorporates the Prop function, which allows users to preview the strobe’s set brightness through the modeling light. It features a digital user interface (UI), high-quality capacitors for proven reliability, and a high-performance flash tube, ensuring consistent and powerful output with precise and detailed lighting even during repeated use.

The Fomex E and G studio flashes have been improved in both exterior design and user interface (UI), focusing on stability and color reproduction. The E series allows for quick adjustment of light output using the finder and jog dial functions and includes an overcharge warning LED lamp for better visual monitoring. The Fomex G600 is an ultra-high-speed strobe designed for rapid shooting, offering a flash duration as short as 1/8000 second and supporting more than 30 frames per second.

The Peri Bounce series is a set of photographic accessories designed to reflect or diffuse light during photo and video shoots, making it especially useful for outdoor photography where natural sunlight is the primary light source. The Peri Bounce is engineered to improve shooting environments, featuring a lightweight yet durable circular frame made from aluminum that provides high rigidity, preventing bending or breakage. An elastic cord inserted inside the frame allows for quick assembly and disassembly without risk of losing parts. When disassembled, the frame collapses to a minimal size for easy storage and transport in a carrying bag. In addition, a variety of fabric options—including diffusers and five frame reflector colors, as well as six reflector colors—can be selected to suit different shooting conditions.
