Overhead LED Spacelight System
High-Output Overhead Soft Source with Closed-Loop Colour Control and Rigging-Ready Mechanical Architecture
Overhead LED spacelight is a high-output variable-white LED soft source engineered for motion picture, television, and studio applications that require large-volume ambient top light with controlled colour stability.
This is an engineering-led overhead soft-light system developed for demanding production environments where broad, colour-correct ambient illumination must remain stable across dimming and extended operating cycles. Built around an array of 16 LED emitters and a closed-loop feedback architecture, the fixture is designed to preserve colour consistency over time and maintain reliable fixture-to-fixture matching. The system operates across a variable colour temperature range of 2900K to 6500K, with preset modes and user-defined colour modes available for controlled deployment in studio and location workflows. Output is specified at 84 fc at 10 ft at a preset colour temperature of 3200K, while colour rendering exceeds CRI 96 at 3200K. Overhead LED spacelight integrates both local and DMX-based operation, with direct dimming control, fixture addressing via RDM, and local operation that does not require DMX for basic setup or colour temperature adjustment. Colour temperature remains substantially stable through the dimming range within ±100K. The fixture is designed for horizontal or vertical operation and supports yoke, lifting-eye, and rope or chain mounting options. With aluminium and steel construction, auto-sensing 90-260 VAC input, universal power compatibility, and minimum operating life of 20,000 hours at colour and intensity specification, the system is structured as a robust production lighting platform for technically controlled overhead illumination.

Why Technical Teams specify this overhead LED spacelight
- Colour Consistency Between Fixtures — Closed-loop feedback and factory calibration help preserve reliable unit-to-unit matching.
- Stable Colour Through Dimming — Maintains colour temperature within approximately ±100K through the dimming range.
- Universal Power Input — Operates from 90-260 VAC, reducing deployment friction across regions and sites.
- Production-Oriented Mounting Flexibility — Supports horizontal, vertical, yoke, and rope/chain mounting scenarios.
- Low-Maintenance LED Architecture — No routine consumable replacement cost and minimum heat associated with traditional lamp technologies.
- CRI >96 — Specified at 3200K
- ±100K — Colour stability through dimming
For Engineers
Overhead LED spacelight is designed for engineers and technical supervisors who need predictable colour behaviour, clear control architecture, and physically robust deployment options.
- Closed-Loop Feedback Colour Management — Engineered to maintain fixture matching and preserve colour quality over the operational life of the unit.
- Direct Local and DMX Dimming — Local dimming in 100 intervals from 0-100%, with DMX preset dimming up to 255 intervals.
- RDM Addressability — Each fixture can be individually addressed at the unit and via RDM.
- Universal Input Power Platform — Auto-sensing 90-260 VAC, 50-60 Hz operation with 8 A max at 120 V and 4 A max at 240 V.
- Mechanical Flexibility for Overhead Deployment — Designed to hang horizontally or operate vertically using lifting eye or heavy-duty yoke hardware.
For Production Teams
The fixture is suited to production teams that require high-volume soft overhead light, repeatable colour control, and reliable on-rig operation.
